Speed Read is a simple app designed to help you train your brain to read faster.
The idea is straightforward: the faster you can read, the faster you can learn. And the faster you learn, the easier it becomes to reach your goals.
Most people want to read more books, learn new ideas, and absorb more information — but reading can be slow and time-consuming. Speed Read helps solve that by training you to increase your reading speed through short, daily practice.
How it works
Speed Read uses a method called Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP). Instead of showing a full page of text, the app displays one word at a time in the center of your screen.
Each word appears quickly, at a speed measured in words per minute (WPM). The second letter of each word is highlighted and positioned in the center of the screen, helping your eyes stay fixed in one place. This reduces eye movement and allows your brain to process words much faster.
With regular practice, you can gradually increase the speed and train yourself to read more quickly.
A simple daily habit
Speed Read is designed to be simple.
Each session takes about one minute, making it easy to build a daily habit. Over time you can increase the words-per-minute speed as your brain adapts.
Inside the app you can track:
- Your reading speed (WPM)
- Daily practice sessions
- Progress over time
- Streaks and consistency
The goal isn't complexity. The goal is consistent training.
Why reading faster matters
Reading is one of the most powerful ways to learn. The more information you can process, the more ideas you can absorb and apply in your life.
By improving your reading speed, you can:
- Learn new skills faster
- Read more books and articles
- Absorb information more efficiently
- Make better decisions with more knowledge
Speed Read is built on the idea that small daily improvements compound over time.
One minute a day can gradually turn into a much faster, more capable reader.
