Habit
Subvocalization
Pronouncing every word in your head. Caps you at speaking speed. Your eyes can do better.

Most adults read 250 words a minute — the same speed they learned in school. ReadingFast trains your eyes and brain to triple that, through short daily drills adapted to how you read.

§ 01The problem
You learned to read at seven.
Then you stopped.
Reading speed is the only major skill most adults never train. We finish school at around 250 wpm and stay there for the next sixty years — held back by three habits we picked up in second grade.
02
Habit
Regression
Eyes drifting back to re-read what they already saw. Eats 30% of your time.
03
Habit
Narrow span
Fixating on one word at a time. Trained eyes take in three or four per glance.
§ 02The method
Three drills.
Eight minutes. Every day.
Drill 01 · RSVP
2:30Kill the inner voice.
Words flash one at a time at a target pace. The optimal recognition point is highlighted in orange — the letter your eye fixates fastest. Subvocalization can't keep up. After two weeks, it fades.

Drill 02 · Meta-guide
3:00Stop your eyes from going back.
A pacer underlines three-word chunks at a steady tempo. Your eye learns to keep moving forward. Regressions drop. Comprehension stays.

Quick jumps between fixation points train peripheral letter recognition. You start taking in chunks instead of words.

Read anything. Faster.
Paste an article. Upload a book. Read it faster.
The reader who turns a page does more than move forward. He carries every sentence he has read, every image the words have shaped in his mind, every silence between paragraphs. Reading is the only act in which a stranger's thoughts become our own — in which two minds, separated by centuries or oceans, share a single instant of attention. The page is a threshold. The reader crosses it, and is changed.

Built for how you actually read.
Train your eyes with drills. Then use your new speed on real content. The drills make the reader faster. The reader makes the drills stick.
The loop that makes you permanently faster.
§ 05Your numbers
Built around how you read.
Every session is measured. Speed, comprehension, time-of-day, where you stalled. Tomorrow's drills shift to match — pace up when you're sharp, dial back when accuracy slips. Quiet, no streak shaming, no notifications at midnight.

§ 06The science
Built on eighty years of reading research.

Where most adults read. The number you finished school at — and the one you've kept since.
0

What sustained training reliably reaches with comprehension intact. Higher is possible; this is the honest range.
¼s
per fixation
How long your eye pauses on each chunk. Train the size of the chunk, not the length of the pause.
3–5×
words per fixation, trained
Trained readers absorb this many words in a single glance. Untrained readers usually take in one.
Numbers above reflect ranges established by decades of eye-tracking research. Not every technique works for every reader — your training plan picks the ones that move your number.
§ 07The arc
From 250 to 600 in six weeks.
Based on speed-reading research, not fake testimonials. Here's what consistent practice — about fifteen minutes a day — looks like, week by week.
Week 1
Baseline established.
Subvocalization awareness begins. You start noticing the inner voice that paces every sentence.
200–300 wpm
Week 3
Chunking improves.
Regression drops. Fixations widen — your eye starts taking in two and three words at a time. Speed climbs noticeably.
350–450 wpm
Week 6
New patterns lock in.
Comprehension stays intact at the new pace. The drills feel obvious; reading on your own feels different.
450–600 wpm
Results vary. Based on published research on structured speed-reading practice (≈15 min/day).

§ 09Questions
Some honest answers.
Does speed-reading really work, or is it pseudo-science?+
Both, depending on what you mean. Marketing-grade "1,000 wpm with 100% comprehension" claims don't hold up. But systematically training subvocalization, regression, and fixation span — backed by real eye-tracking research — reliably moves readers from ~250 to ~450–550 wpm with intact comprehension. That's what we train for.
Will I lose comprehension?+
If you push too hard, yes. That's why every session ends with a comprehension check — your target speed throttles back automatically if accuracy drops below 80%. Speed without understanding is just scrolling.
Can I train on my own articles?+
Yes. Paste any article or document and the reader will pace you through it. Pro unlocks unlimited custom text — Free tier sticks to the curated samples.
How long until I see results?+
Most readers add 60–100 wpm in the first two weeks. The bigger gains come in weeks 3–8 once your training plan has calibrated to you.
What devices?+
iOS, Android, and web. Your progress syncs across all of them. The browser extension overlays RSVP on any article on the open web.
Why $9.99?+
Two reasons. One: training works only if you keep showing up, so we built it to charge less than a coffee. Two: we don't sell ads or your reading data. The subscription is the business.
