## What is Lightspeed Reader?

Lightspeed transforms how you consume text. Using RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) technology, words are displayed one at a time at a fixed focal point, eliminating eye movement and dramatically increasing your reading speed.                                       
                                                                       
  KEY FEATURES

  your perfect pace with intuitive controls.
