Speed Reading Pro

Speed Reader is a reading trainer that helps you build real reading speed through proven techniques — not tricks. Whether you are a student working through dense material, a professional keeping up with industry reading, or someone who simply wants to read more books, Speed Reader gives you the tools to get there. TWO READING MODES: RSVP — Rapid Serial Visual Presentation Words appear one at a time at your chosen speed, with an optimal recognition point marked on each word. This eliminates the physical eye movement that accounts for most of the time spent reading. Start at 200 words per minute and progressively work up to 1000. Guided Highlighting A moving pacer highlights your current position across the full text while dimming everything behind it. This trains your brain to stop re-reading — one of the most common habits that slows readers down. Both modes include a real-time WPM slider, tap to pause, a progress bar, and a bookmark that saves your exact position between sessions. THREE SKILL-BUILDING DRILLS Peripheral Vision A word flashes at a random horizontal position on screen. Identify it correctly to gradually expand your visual span — the number of words your eyes can capture in a single fixation. Anti-Regression Text scrolls forward and fades behind you. You must keep pace without going back. Each session ends with a recall quiz to reinforce retention. Chunking Groups of words flash briefly on screen. Select the correct chunk from multiple options. This trains your brain to process two, three, four, or five words as a single reading unit — the defining habit of fast readers. BUILT-IN CONTENT LIBRARY Start reading immediately with six hand-picked public-domain texts across three difficulty levels. Easy texts include The Gift of the Magi and The Call of Cthulhu. Medium texts include The Open Boat and A Scandal in Bohemia. Hard texts include On Liberty and On the Origin of Species. Import your own content via EPUB file or by pasting any article URL. COMPREHENSION GUARD Reading speed is only valuable if you retain what you read. Speed Reader automatically triggers multiple-choice quizzes after each built-in text. Your comprehension score is recorded alongside your WPM so you can track both together and find the speed that works best for you. PROGRESS AND ANALYTICS A daily streak keeps you consistent. A WPM trend chart shows your improvement over time. The home dashboard surfaces your best speed today, total words read, and current streak at a glance. Every session is logged with speed, word count, reading mode, and date. PERSONALISATION Choose between light, dark, or system theme. Adjust font size between 12 and 32 points.
