## What is Speed Reader?

Your unread pile keeps growing — saved articles, PDFs you meant to read, 40 open tabs. SpeedyReader clears the backlog: read 2× faster, with full comprehension.

Most people read at about 250 words per minute. SpeedyReader trains you to 400–500+ using RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation), the rapid-reading method studied for 50 years.

WHY IT WORKS

When you read normally, your eyes jump between words in rapid movements called saccades — they waste 10–15% of your reading time. RSVP removes them by showing one word at a time at a fixed point, so your brain processes text without waiting for your eyes to move. Every word is aligned at its Optimal Recognition Point — the exact spot, slightly left of center, where your eye recognizes it fastest.

BUILT FOR FOCUS. ENGINEERED FOR SPEED.

- The smoothest RSVP engine you've read on. Every word is laid out and its focal point calculated before you hit play, so the app never stops to do the math mid-read — a rock-steady rhythm even at 1,000 WPM.
- One-handed controls — change speed, scrub, and pause without shifting your grip.

PDF · EPUB · WEB

- PDF import — research papers, reports, documents
- Scanned & image-only PDFs — on-device OCR reads image-only pages
- EPUB support — read ebooks chapter by chapter, with progress tracking
- Safari extension — extract and speed-read any web article, distraction-free
- Share extension — send content from any app straight to SpeedyReader
- Paste text — drop in anything and start reading

POWERED BY APPLE INTELLIGENCE

- Magic Wand — messy scans and pasted PDFs get cleaned up instantly with on-device Apple Intelligence, so nothing leaves your device. (Requires an Apple Intelligence-capable device.)

TRACK YOUR WPM

- Reading metrics — words read, time saved, average WPM, sessions
- Streaks — build a daily reading habit
- Progressive training — climb from 100 to 1,000 WPM

TUNE YOUR PACE

- Monospace, serif, and rounded fonts — monospace keeps the focal point rock-steady from word to word
- 10 ORP anchor colors to mark your focal point
- Pinch to resize — dial in your word size instantly (⌘ +/− on Mac)
- Prevent word cutoff — smart centering nudges long words so they never run off the edge
- Speed slider, presets, a precise stepper, and a warm-up ramp

SYNCS EVERYWHERE

- iCloud sync — your library, progress, and reading history follow you across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

- No account. No sign-in. No server holding your reading. Everything lives on your device and syncs only through your own iCloud

PERFECT FOR

- Students working through textbooks and papers
- Professionals clearing reports and email backlogs
- Researchers scanning literature
- Anyone with more to read than time to read it

Your brain can process words far faster than your eyes can move. SpeedyReader removes the bottleneck.

### 5/5 — Best RSVP App!

*2026-04-28*

Easy to use and really fast. I’m able to focus and read faster than ever. Handles Safari longform web content and PDFs which is crucial for me. Wish I could scrub back/forth on the currently loaded content but otherwise just a great app.

**Developer response:** Thank you!
