Read faster without losing your place.

RSVP stands for Rapid Serial Visual Presentation. Instead of moving your eyes across a line of text, the words come to you — one or a few at a time — flashing in the same place on screen.

Because your eyes don't have to jump from word to word, you cut out the small movements (saccades) that normally slow reading down. Most people can comfortably read 1.5–2× faster with RSVP after a few minutes of practice.

FocusPoint's RSVP mode lets you choose how many words flash at a time (the chunk size) so you can match the pace to the difficulty of the text.

ORP stands for Optimal Recognition Point. Inside every word there is a single letter your eye naturally locks onto when recognizing the word — usually slightly left of center.

FocusPoint highlights that letter in red and aligns it to a fixed center guide. Each new word lands with its focus letter exactly where your eyes are already looking, so reading feels effortless and your gaze barely moves.

ORP works especially well for longer or unfamiliar words, because it gives your brain a consistent visual anchor on every flash.

Most adults read 200–300 WPM (words per minute) on paper. With a speed reader, here's a rough guide:

• 250–350 WPM — comfortable for everyday reading.
• 350–450 WPM — fast, but trainable within a session.
• 450–600 WPM — confident readers and easy material.
• 600+ WPM — mostly skimming and previewing.

Start at a speed where you understand at least 90% of what you read. When that feels easy, raise the WPM by 25–50 and continue. Slow down for dense, technical, or unfamiliar text.

Speed readers are a great study tool when used the right way. They aren't a replacement for careful reading — they're a way to preview, review, and re-read material quickly.

• Preview chapters at 400–500 WPM to map the structure.
• Read carefully at 250–350 WPM, pausing to summarize.
• Review notes at 350–450 WPM the day before exams.
• Re-read tricky passages with shorter chunks and lower WPM.

Because FocusPoint runs entirely in your browser and never saves your text, it's safe to paste class notes, drafts, and study material.
