Words appear one at a time in a fixed position – fewer eye jumps, more focus. The Optimal Recognition Point (ORP) marks the ideal focus point in each word.

  • 100–1000 WPM – Individually adjustable
  • Back-jump included – Jump back anytime

Multiple words at once

Instead of word by word, display 2-4 words at a time. Smart phrase chunking groups words by grammatical rules - for more natural reading at high speed.

  • 1-4 words per phrase - Individually adjustable
  • POS-based chunking - Grammatically meaningful groups
  • Higher speed possible - More context per glance

What does the research say?

RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) has clear strengths: it reduces distraction, is especially suited for small displays, and enables focused reading of short texts. At the same time, research shows that comprehension can decrease at high speeds – particularly with long or complex content.

FoveaRead addresses these known weaknesses through adaptive pauses at punctuation, back-jump for re-reading, and various reading themes (Standard, Focus Bold, ORP Reticle), so you can choose the presentation that works best for you.
