It flashes one word at a time in a fixed spot β no eye-jumping, no losing your place β so you read faster, with sharper focus. - Your pace: start at 250 WPM, climb past 600 as your brain adapts - Smart pauses at sentence and clause boundaries β speed without sacrificing comprehension - One reader, every format: EPUB, PDF, .docx, web articles, plain text, and free Project Gutenberg titles How RSVP Works Your eyes normally jump between words and back over what you've read β that's what slows you down. RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) shows one word at a time in the same spot, so your eyes stop hunting and your focus locks in.
