FlashRead
A minimalist RSVP speed-reading tool that flashes text one word at a time with optimal-recognition-point highlighting — to read at the speed of thought.
FlashRead is a single-page RSVP speed-reading tool — paste in an article or chapter and it flashes words one at a time at a configurable pace. An Optimal Recognition Point (ORP) highlight marks one letter of each word in red and pins it to a fixed centre line, so your eyes never move; a next-word preview and the surrounding sentence keep you oriented, while a progress bar shows words read and time remaining. It is a self-contained, framework-free web app with settings that persist between sessions.
