What is speed reading?

Faster comprehension without losing focus

Speed reading is a technique that trains your eyes to process text more efficiently by minimizing wasted motion and helping you keep a steady reading cadence.

With the right pacing and chunking, you can take in more words per glance without losing comprehension. Many high performers have used speed reading to get through dense material quickly, including reports of JFK reading as fast as 1,200 WPM.

SpeedyReedy gives you a distraction-free environment so you can build speed while staying locked in on meaning, not just volume.

JFK reading
WPM presets at a glance

A quick sense of how fast each preset feels.

Beginner200–350 WPM1 word
Intermediate350–500 WPM2 words
Advanced500–1000 WPM3 words
Expert1000+ WPM5 words

WPM (words per minute) and chunk size work together: larger chunks mean fewer flashes to cover the same text, but they demand more peripheral focus. Start low, build comfort, then nudge WPM and chunk size as your eyes adapt. Most readers can climb from Beginner to Advanced with steady practice; Expert is ambitious and best for skimming or familiar material.

Why SpeedyReedy?

Built to be the fair, fast alternative

The SpeedyReedy team recognized a niche in the speed reading universe. There are plenty of speed reading resources out there that are free, but they offer little to no guidance and also don't include more advanced speed reading options. If you already know speed reading techniques and just want an RSVP reader, we recommend searching for the many free readers out there.On the other hand, the SpeedyReedy founder's goal is to make advanced speed reading software that is actually backed by research more accessible. Most comprehensive speed reading courses easily go for over one hundred dollars. We at SpeedyReedy think that's ridiculous. If you want access to a state-of-the-art course for a fraction of the price, you've come to the right place.If you only want access to speed reading software without the hassle of having to continuously having to reload your text, refind your place in the text, or want access to our ever-growing library, you can stop searching. All we ask is that you help us cover the cost of storing your texts, your place in those texts, and your cool reading stats on our server. That's it!If you want both of these, we're your match made in heaven. Try our product out with our free trial! We know you'll love it.
