What ReadSVP is

ReadSVP is a free, web-based tool that presents PDF text one word at a time for speed reading. Its PDF-aware parsing accounts for sentences, punctuation, and context. Readers can adjust words per minute and chunk size, with presets at 320, 520, and 820 wpm; the site describes its segmentation and pacing as optimized for 300–900 wpm. The reader uses ORP highlighting and steady pacing, while a context ribbon can show surrounding text. Keyboard controls include Space for the wait menu, left and right arrows to move through text, up and down arrows to adjust speed, and 1 or 2 to set chunk size. ReadSVP says PDFs, extracted text, and playback stay on the user's machine rather than being uploaded to the cloud. Reading fingerprints and progress checkpoints are stored in the browser, allowing readers to resume or switch documents without losing pace. Clearing browser storage removes saved data. PDF is the stated import format, and the listed Free plan costs nothing for PDF speed reading.
