RSVP Speed Reading

One word at a time, at speeds from 100 to 1,000+ words per minute. No eye movement. No distraction.

🎯

Bionic Reading Highlight

The middle letters of each word are highlighted in red, giving your brain an instant anchor point for faster recognition.

Smart Pacing

Punctuation and long words automatically trigger brief pauses, creating a natural reading rhythm at any speed.

Distraction-Free Interface

A clean dark interface with a fixed focal point. Nothing to look at but the word in front of you.

How RSVP Reading Works

Traditional reading forces your eyes to scan across lines — that movement is slow and invites distraction. RSVP eliminates it entirely.

Open a file, paste text, or drop in a URL. ADHD Reader handles the rest.

2

Set your speed

Choose your words-per-minute rate. Start slow, work your way up — most readers surprise themselves.

Words flash one at a time at a fixed point. Your eyes stay still. Your brain does the work.
