Speed Reader vs Strobe

Read faster. Understand more. Finish that reading list. RSVP Reader uses scientifically-backed RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) technology to help you read 2-3x faster than traditional reading. Words appear one at a time at your chosen speed, eliminating eye movement and reducing subvocalization - the two biggest bottlenecks to reading speed. The secret? Optimal Recognition Point (ORP) highlighting. Each word is displayed with its focal point highlighted, exactly where your eye naturally wants to land. No training required. Just start reading.
