Read guideFrequently asked questions
What is the Anchor speed reading app?
Anchor is an RSVP speed reader: it shows your text one word at a time at a pace you set, with a visual anchor letter that keeps your eyes centered and focused. Learn more
Can I read my own books and articles in Anchor?
Yes. Paste or import any text — books, articles, notes, study material — and Anchor turns it into a guided speed-reading session.
How fast can I read with RSVP?
Most users comfortably read 300–450 WPM with RSVP after some training, versus a 200–250 WPM average for normal reading. Anchor lets you adjust WPM freely and grow it progressively. Learn more
Does speed reading hurt comprehension?
Not at moderate rates — eliminating rereading and eye movement raises speed without touching comprehension. Anchor pairs pace control with session stats so you can verify comprehension holds as you speed up. Learn more
Does Anchor help with reading focus, not just speed?
Yes — the one-word display with a fixed anchor point removes the wandering room a full page gives your eyes, which many users find is the bigger win. Learn more
Does Anchor track my reading progress?
Yes. Reading progress and per-session stats (including WPM) are tracked, so you can watch your reading rate climb over time.
