Read up to 3x faster in as little as 2 weeks, about 10 minutes a day. Acceleread is a daily speed-reading trainer that builds a real skill you keep in every book, email, PDF and exam.
Most reading apps summarize books FOR you. Acceleread does the opposite: it trains YOU to read faster, so the skill goes with you everywhere.
SIX TRAINING TOOLS
• Word Flash — flashes one word at a time so your eyes stop backtracking and get paced faster
• Schulte Table — a number-grid drill that widens your visual span and cuts fixations
• Hopscotch — an eye-movement drill that trains your eyes to move forward, not back
• Column Highlighter — guides your eyes down the page in columns to read faster
• Diamond Highlighter — highlights key phrases to sharpen focus and cut distraction
• Sight Stretcher — widens your peripheral vision so you take in more per glance
WHAT ELSE YOU GET
• Free reading-speed test — measure your words per minute and comprehension, then watch both climb
• Gamified training course — a level path with daily goals, streaks and reminders that make practice stick
• Comprehension checks — so speed never costs understanding
• Progress tracking — WPM over time, comprehension scores and milestones
• Built-in library and distraction-free reader — practise on real books, curated for you
HOW IT WORKS
Take the WPM test, get a personalized plan, then train about 10 minutes a day. Small daily reps build a faster reading habit that lasts.
THE SCIENCE
Word Flash pacing, eye-movement drills and Schulte tables target the habits that slow you down — backtracking, subvocalizing and narrow focus (progress measured by in-app assessments).
WHO IT'S FOR
Students and exam prep, busy professionals, focus-minded readers, English learners, and anyone with a stack of books they never finish.
Free to start. Cancel anytime. Available in 25 languages.

Ratings & Reviews
The Reader now opens where you left off instead of jumping back to chapter one, and Hopscotch, Column Highlighter and Diamond Highlighter no longer stall on books whose chapters were renumbered. Reading tests are more accurate too: time away from the app no longer counts, and Japanese and Chinese are finally measured properly - their drills move word by word. Can't find a book? Request it from the bottom of the Library shelf. Thanks for reading with Acceleread!
