Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes. The site is supported by ads, so you never pay or need to create an account.
How does RSVP speed reading work scientifically?
Traditional reading expends ~80% of reader time on physical eye saccades jumping across lines. RSVP flashes single words at a fixed gaze anchor, enabling rapid visual foveal recognition without muscular fatigue.
What is the Optimal Recognition Point (ORP)?
The ORP is the specific letter position where the human brain recognizes a word quickest. Our engine aligns and highlights this focal letter on the center crosshair.
Does it pause at punctuation marks?
Yes. Smart pause algorithms briefly linger on full stops, question marks, exclamation points, and commas to aid cognitive retention.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The page adapts to your screen and does not require installing any app.
