About this app

ReadSwift is a speed reading trainer and reading pacer that makes you earn every word per minute. Read faster, prove you understood, and watch your reading speed climb.

Most speed reading apps hand you a slider and a big number. ReadSwift measures instead. Every session ends with a reading comprehension quiz, and that quiz is the only thing that moves your speed.

HOW THE SPEED READING TRAINING WORKS
1. Take the reading speed test. A timed read at your natural pace plus five questions gives you your real words per minute. Most adults start near 240 WPM.
2. Train five minutes a day. Each drill paces you a notch above your baseline reading speed, which is the acceleration protocol reading research actually supports.
3. Let comprehension set the pace. Score 75% twice in a row and your target rises 8%. Drop below 60% and it comes back down.

THREE SPEED READING DRILLS
Pace Trainer. A reading pacer sweeps a highlight across the page at your target reading speed, pausing naturally at commas, full stops and paragraph breaks. The classic pacer technique, automated.
RSVP Sprint. Rapid serial visual presentation shows one word at a time at a fixed focal point, so your eyes never move. The fastest way past a plateau. Tap to jump back a sentence.
Chunk Reading. Words arrive in two-word groups, so you practice reading phrases instead of single words.

FOCUS AND CONCENTRATION, ON PURPOSE
Five minutes of deliberate reading beats an hour of drifting. Every drill is short, timed and ends with proof that your concentration held. The daily reminder and the streak turn it into a habit instead of a good intention.

BUILT FOR STUDY AND REVISION
Students at university, candidates grinding through professional exams, and ESL readers working on TOEFL, IELTS, GRE, GMAT or SAT passages all hit the same wall: reading speed with comprehension intact. That is the only thing this app trains. Use it as a study warm-up before revision and the dense material goes down faster.

EFFECTIVE WPM, NOT VANITY WPM
Your headline number is effective WPM: reading speed multiplied by comprehension. A 600 WPM run with 40% comprehension is really worth 240. ReadSwift shows the honest figure and trains that one.

38 CLASSIC PASSAGES WITH COMPREHENSION QUIZZES
Read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Sherlock Holmes, Dracula, Moby-Dick, The Wind in the Willows, Walden and more, all public domain. Warm-up, steady and challenge tiers, and every passage carries its own five-question reading comprehension quiz.

A READING TRACKER WORTH CHECKING
Baseline, best effective WPM, average comprehension, words trained, total sessions, and a chart of every graded run.

WHAT WE LEFT OUT, ON PURPOSE
No subvocalization "cures". No peripheral vision expanders. No bionic bolding. No 1,000 WPM promises. Past roughly 500 words per minute you are skimming, not reading, and ReadSwift says so instead of selling it.

PRIVATE AND OFFLINE
No account, no sign-up, no servers. Your passages, your reading history and your streak stay on your device, and the whole speed reading trainer works with no internet at all.

FOUR LANGUAGES
English, Spanish, French and Portuguese, with the passages and quizzes translated too.
