SpeedRead
Read full descriptionHide full description
Read faster. Learn more. One minute a day. Speed Read trains your brain to read faster using short, daily sessions, so you can absorb more books, ideas, and information in less time. How it works: Speed Read uses Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP), a proven technique that displays one word at a time in the centre of your screen. Each word flashes at your chosen speed, measured in words per minute (WPM). A highlighted letter keeps your eyes fixed in one place, eliminating unnecessary eye movement and letting your brain process text much faster. One minute a day Each session takes about one minute. That's it. Over time, as your brain adapts, you gradually increase your WPM and become a noticeably faster reader. Track your progress Inside the app you can track your reading speed, daily practice sessions, progress over time, and streaks so you stay consistent. Why it matters: Reading is one of the most powerful ways to learn. Faster reading means more books, more ideas, and more knowledge, applied to your goals, your career, and your life. Small daily improvements compound. Start today.
