RSVP Speed Reader

Accelerate Your Reading

RSVP Speed Reader is a productivity tool that utilizes Rapid Serial Visual Presentation to help you consume text at lightning speeds. By flashing words one by one at a fixed focal point, it eliminates the need for eye movements (saccades), allowing your brain to process information significantly faster.

How to Use

1. Insert Text: Click the Settings (⚙️) icon in the top right. Paste the article, book chapter, or notes you want to read.
2. Set Your Pace: Use the slider to adjust the Words Per Minute (WPM).
   • Beginners: 250 - 350 WPM
   • Advanced: 500 - 800 WPM
   • Master: 1000+ WPM
3. The Red Target: Always keep your gaze fixed on the red character in the center. Do not move your eyes; let the words come to you.

Key Features

• Optimal Focal Point (ORP): Dynamically highlights the center of each word to maximize cognitive processing.
• Monospaced Precision: Uses JetBrains Mono for consistent character width, preventing visual "jitter".
• Focus Music: Integrated ambient soundscapes to help maintain concentration.
• Progress Tracking: Real-time progress bar and word counter.
• Deep-Link Text Input: Prefill content from other apps via URL hash using #text= (URL-encoded) for large texts, e.g. https://snowfluke.github.io/rsvp-speed-reader/#text=Hello%20world
