How to Speed Read Like a Pro

Speed reading isn't just fast, it's smart. Utilize our 'ramp-up' effect to ease into your preferred pace while keeping comprehension high.

Exponential Ramp-Up

The feature starts at a pace 100 WPM slower than your selected speed and gradually catches up. This might feel a bit jerky at first, but it's designed to pause on stop-words and focus on the first few and last words of a sentence. This way, you grasp the full context instead of just skimming the first words of a paragraph.

Controls
  • Font Size: A quick slide can change text dimensions for visual comfort.
  • WPM Slider: Adjust this to set your speed goal. The system starts 100 WPM below your choice and gradually meets it.
  • Start/Pause/Reset: Self-explanatory. Get going, take a breather, or start anew.
Pro Tips
