About

Skipaword

Features
Read full description

RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) is a scientifically validated cognitive psychology technique that shows one, two, or three words at a time around a fixed focal point. It reduces saccadic eye movements and regressions, the main bottlenecks in normal reading, helping you process text up to 2x faster with retained comprehension. Choose classic one-word RSVP, compact multi-word chunks, or stacked words when you want a wider reading rhythm. With Skipaword you can convert almost anything to RSVP: add any URL, ebook, PDF, pasted text, and more. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
