SHORT DESCRIPTION
──────────────────────────────────────
Read anything on the web up to 3x faster. Select text, right-click, and RSVP reads it word by word.

LONG DESCRIPTION
──────────────────────────────────────

RSVP Speed Reader lets you read faster without any gimmicks. Select any text on any webpage, right-click, and the extension flashes each word directly in front of your eyes — one at a time, at whatever speed you choose. No more scanning lines, losing your place, or getting distracted. Just you and the words.

This technique is called Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP). Instead of your eyes moving across a page, the words move to your eyes. The result is faster reading with better focus — especially useful for long articles, research papers, and anything you need to get through quickly.

FEATURES

→ Right-click any selected text to read it instantly
Highlight a paragraph, an article, or a full page — right-click and hit "Read with RSVP" to start immediately.

→ Adjustable speed from 50 to 900 WPM
Start slow and work your way up. Most people read at 200–300 WPM. With practice, RSVP readers regularly hit 500–700 WPM with full comprehension.

→ ORP highlighting for maximum comprehension
Each word displays with its Optimal Recognition Point highlighted — the single letter your brain anchors to first. This is the same technique used by professional speed reading tools and makes fast reading feel natural, not strained.

→ PDF upload and text paste support
Not just webpages. Drop in a PDF or paste any text and read it at speed. Great for documents, reports, and anything outside the browser.

→ Reading history with unlimited storage
Every session is saved automatically. Pick up exactly where you left off — the reader remembers your position, your speed, and what you were reading. Export your full history as a JSON file anytime.

→ Fully keyboard driven
Space to play and pause. Arrow keys to skip forward or back. Bracket keys to adjust speed on the fly. Everything works without touching the mouse once you start.

→ 100% free, no account required
No sign up. No subscription. No data collection. Install and read.

WHO IS IT FOR

Students working through dense reading lists. Professionals drowning in articles and reports. Anyone with ADHD who finds traditional reading hard to sustain. Researchers who need to process large volumes of text quickly. Anyone who just wants to read more in less time.

PRIVACY

RSVP Speed Reader does not collect, transmit, or store any of your data outside your own browser. Your reading history lives entirely on your device. Nothing is sent anywhere.
