Reading speed test

How fast do you read?

Two minutes. One short passage the normal way, one with the RSVP method. See both speeds side by side.

Focusing so intently on a single spot helps me drown out distractions.

Why readrrr

Read twice as fast.

Most people read at about 240 words a minute. readrrr shows you the text at the speed you set, from 100 to 1,000. Most users settle around 400 to 500 within a week. You see every word, nothing gets skipped, and you can jump back anytime.

Stay focused without trying.

The words arrive at a steady pace. If you look away, the text pauses with one tap and resumes where you left off, so you never lose your place. Turn on narration and a voice reads along in sync with the screen.

Actually finish books.

A 300-page book is about 90,000 words. At 500 words a minute, that is three hours of reading. That is one book per weekend.

Read anything.

Books, PDFs, articles from Safari, pasted text, and photos of paper pages. Your progress and highlights are saved for everything you import.

Speed reading questions

Is this speed reader free?

Yes. The reader on this page is free and needs no account. Paste text or open a .txt, .md, .html, or .pdf file and read it at the speed you choose. Nothing is uploaded. The iPhone app is also free to download.

What is an RSVP reader?

RSVP stands for rapid serial visual presentation. An RSVP reader shows text one word at a time in a fixed spot, so your eyes stay still and the words come to you. Most people read faster this way with the same comprehension, because there is no rereading and no losing your place. Read more in the guide to RSVP reading.

How do I test my reading speed?

Take the reading speed test. Read a short passage at your normal pace, answer a quick quiz, and get your words per minute. Most adults land between 200 and 300. Then read the same length with RSVP and compare both speeds side by side.

Does speed reading work?

Reading at 400 to 600 words a minute with full comprehension is realistic for most people after a week of practice. Claims of 2,000 or more usually mean skimming. This reader shows every word, so nothing is skipped. See the guide on whether speed reading apps work.
