Views per day and the retention curve (with YouTube Studio)
Our YouTube Speed Reader uses Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) - the same technique used by apps like Spritz and Spreeder - to display a video's transcript one word at a time. This eliminates eye movement and lets you read at 300-1000+ WPM, far faster than the typical 200-250 WPM of normal reading.
Consume a 1-hour podcast transcript in 15 minutes. Skim a lecture to decide if it's worth watching. Speed through meeting recordings to find what matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is RSVP speed reading?
RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) displays words one at a time in a fixed position. This eliminates the eye movements that slow down normal reading, letting you read 3-5x faster. It's the same technique used by popular apps like Spritz and Spreeder.
How fast can I speed read a YouTube video?
You can adjust the speed from 100 to 1000+ words per minute. Most people find 300-500 WPM comfortable with practice. At 400 WPM, you can read a 1-hour video transcript in about 20 minutes.
Does speed reading work with long videos?
Yes, it works with videos of any length. Long podcasts and lectures are actually where speed reading shines most - you can consume hours of content in a fraction of the time. You can also pause and resume at any point.
