The free speed reading test platform trusted by readers worldwide
SpeedTextLab was created with a simple mission: to help everyone discover and improve their reading speed. In a world filled with information, reading faster while maintaining comprehension is a superpower.
We use RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) technology to eliminate eye movement and help you focus on one word at a time. This scientifically-backed technique can help you read 2-3x faster than traditional reading methods.

Practice speed reading with any text you want
Traditional reading requires your eyes to move across lines of text, which takes time and energy. With RSVP, words appear one at a time in the exact same spot on screen. This eliminates:
👁️ Eye movement - No scanning left to right
🔙 Regression - No going back to re-read
🗣️ Subvocalization - Reduces "saying" words in your head
Research shows RSVP can help trained readers achieve speeds of 500-1000+ WPM while maintaining good comprehension levels.
SpeedTextLab is completely free to use. No premium tiers, no paywalls, no ads. We believe everyone should have access to tools that help them read faster and learn more efficiently.
