FlashRead uses Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) to help you read 2-5x faster — without skimming or missing a word. Instead of scanning lines of text, FlashRead shows you one word at a time at your chosen speed. Your eyes stay in one place while your brain does the rest. It sounds simple because it is — and it works. HOW IT WORKS Each word appears at the center of your screen with the Optimal Recognition Point (ORP) highlighted. This is the letter your eye naturally locks onto to recognize the word fastest. Combined with smart pauses at punctuation, you get maximum speed with full comprehension.
