Spdr - Speed Reading

"Spdr is the Swiss Army Knife of reading apps." -Enzo, Spdr reader

People normally read at a rate of 150-200 words per minute. With Spdr (pronounced “Speeder”), you can instantly double that without even trying and still retain the same amount of information. There is no learning or effort required. Watch the app preview videos above to experience it before downloading. Then, download Spdr and try it out for yourself for free.

Here's how Spdr works:

Spdr displays words one-by-one, with Punctuation Pauses giving Spdr a natural and seamless feel. Rather than moving your eyes across and down a page like you normally would, Spdr allows you to absorb text as it is presented. This means your eyes don't have to work as hard, enabling you to read and retain more text faster without your eyes getting tired and fatiguing.

We recommend starting at double the average adult reading speed, or 300-400 words per minute, and working your way up as you feel comfortable.

Spdr is free for you to try in order to see whether the technique works for you:

(1) Simply copy most links or any text and paste into the text box in Spdr
(2) Set your desired words-per-minute rate
(3) Hold down anywhere on the screen to start, and lift to pause
