SpeedReady
Speed reading for PDF & text
Only for Mac
$4.99
Mac
Train your eyes with RSVP: one word at a time, adjustable speed, optional ORP highlight. PDFs and pasted text stay on your Mac.
SpeedRead helps you read faster using RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation)—words appear one at a time (or in small groups) so you can keep a steady rhythm and reduce unnecessary eye movement.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Import PDFs via drag-and-drop or the file picker. Text is extracted on your Mac with PDFKit.
• Paste or type your own text in a large editor—paragraphs are preserved as much as possible.
• Adjust reading speed from 100 to 1000 words per minute with a live slider.
• Choose 1, 2, or 3 words per “flash” to match your comfort level.
• Use Spritz-style fixation: the optimal recognition point (ORP) is highlighted when reading one word at a time.
• Customize text size and font style (system, monospaced, serif, rounded).
• Track progress and an estimated time remaining.
• Keyboard shortcuts for play/pause, skipping forward/back, and nudging speed.
PRIVACY & OFFLINE
Your documents and pasted text are processed locally. SpeedRead is built for focused reading without sending your content to our servers.
REQUIREMENTS
macOS 14 or later. PDFs must contain selectable text (scanned-only PDFs may not extract well).
Perfect for students, professionals, and anyone who wants a distraction-free way to practice speed reading on the Mac.
