FlowSpeedReader is a powerful speed reading app that uses Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) to help you consume text faster than ever before. Whether you're a student, professional, or avid reader, FlowSpeedReader trains your brain to process words at incredible speeds — all while maintaining comprehension. HOW IT WORKS RSVP displays one word (or a group of words) at a time in a fixed position, eliminating the eye movements (saccades) that waste up to 30% of traditional reading time. Your brain focuses purely on processing meaning. Research shows comprehension remains high even above 500 WPM. IMPORT ANYTHING • Paste or type text directly • Import from Safari using the Share Sheet extension • Fetch and extract articles from any URL • Import files: PDF, DOCX, TXT, RTF, Pages, CSV • Scan physical documents with Camera OCR • Load from clipboard (text or URLs) BEAUTIFUL THEMES & FONTS Choose from multiple gorgeous themes — including dark mode variants — and select from 8 premium fonts.
