Speed Read Any YouTube Video
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.
