HyperRead: Learn to Read 2–3x Faster (Without Losing Comprehension)
Finish articles, newsletters, and papers in minutes with RSVP speed‑reading, smart pacing, and ORP highlighting. Private, offline, and built for real life.
Your reading backlog isn’t getting smaller. HyperRead is our take on speed reading that actually respects comprehension. We built it because we wanted to clear newsletters, papers, and long‑form articles during commutes and late nights without turning reading into a chore. Using RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) with ORP (Optimal Recognition Point) highlighting and pacing that adapts to punctuation and long words, HyperRead keeps your eyes still while your brain does the work. The result is smooth flow, fewer regressions, and the ability to finish more—often 2–3x faster—without the “fried” feeling.

Why We Built It
Most “speed reading” tools either push too fast too soon or bury you in options. We wanted the opposite: a focused reader that gets out of your way, lets you paste a link or open a file, tap play, and settle into a rhythm that feels natural. The pacing is smart on purpose; it subtly slows on commas, periods, and longer words so your brain can keep comprehension high even as you ramp up speed over time. No gimmicks, no cognitive fireworks—just honest acceleration.
How It Works (1 Minute)
Open HyperRead and paste text, a URL, or load your own EPUB/PDF/TXT/Markdown. Tap play to start RSVP mode: each word appears in a fixed position with ORP highlighting so the recognition point lands exactly where your eyes expect it. You can nudge WPM up or down in real time until the cadence matches your comfort. Because the player automatically accounts for punctuation and word length, the flow feels human—fast when it can be, patient when it should be.
Built for Real Life
We designed HyperRead for everyday friction: commuting with a shaky train hand‑hold, skimming research before meetings, or finishing a long piece before bed. It imports from the clipboard and the Share Sheet, extracts article content from URLs, and tracks words read, time saved, and streaks so you can see your progress. When a section gets dense, dial the speed down for a minute—then ramp back up. Consistency beats bravado.
Features That Matter
HyperRead focuses on what readers actually use: instant URL/article extraction, a responsive speed slider, and typography controls that favor legibility over flash. Stats show words read, time saved, and streaks to reinforce habits—not shame them. There are no accounts to create and no analytics running in the background; the app works completely offline so your reading stays yours.
Tips for Faster (Comfortable) Gains
Start about 25% above your natural pace and sit there for a week; your brain adapts quickly when the rhythm is consistent. Let ORP keep your gaze anchored and trust the punctuation‑aware pacing instead of fighting it. When a paragraph turns technical, step down 10–15% for a minute, grab the meaning, then slide back up. The goal isn’t bragging rights—it’s finishing more with less strain.
