Acceleread: Speed Reading

About this app

Read up to 3x faster in as little as 2 weeks, about 10 minutes a day. Acceleread is a daily speed-reading trainer that builds a real skill you keep in every book, email, PDF and exam. Most reading apps summarize books FOR you. Acceleread does the opposite: it trains YOU to read faster, so the skill goes with you everywhere. SIX TRAINING TOOLS • Word Flash — flashes one word at a time so your eyes stop backtracking and get paced faster • Schulte Table — a number-grid drill that widens your visual span and cuts fixations • Hopscotch — an eye-movement drill that trains your eyes to move forward, not back • Column Highlighter — guides your eyes down the page in columns to read faster • Diamond Highlighter — highlights key phrases to sharpen focus and cut distraction • Sight Stretcher — widens your peripheral vision so you take in more per glance WHAT ELSE YOU GET • Free reading-speed test — measure your words per minute and comprehension, then watch both climb • Gamified training course — a level path with daily goals, streaks and reminders that make practice stick • Comprehension checks — so speed never costs understanding • Progress tracking — WPM over time, comprehension scores and milestones • Built-in library and distraction-free reader — practise on real books, curated for you HOW IT WORKS Take the WPM test, get a personalized plan, then train about 10 minutes a day. Small daily reps build a faster reading habit that lasts. THE SCIENCE Word Flash pacing, eye-movement drills and Schulte tables target the habits that slow you down — backtracking, subvocalizing and narrow focus (progress measured by in-app assessments). WHO IT'S FOR Students and exam prep, busy professionals, focus-minded readers, English learners, and anyone with a stack of books they never finish. Free to start. Cancel anytime. Available in 25 languages. Take the free reading test and see your speed today.

Read anywhere — even offline. Premium members can now download books and keep training without a connection. We also added in-app support so you can report a problem and hear back from us, repaired the book library, and fixed the causes of blank screens, endless loading, and course progress that could reset when you changed language. Thanks for reading with Acceleread!
