The RSVP speed reading app that lets you read faster.

RSVP stands for Rapid Serial Visual Presentation. Instead of moving your eyes across lines of text, Velo flashes your reading one word at a time in a fixed spot, so your eyes never have to travel or jump backward. One letter — the Optimal Recognition Point (ORP) — stays pinned in a coral accent color at the exact position your brain recognizes a word fastest, which keeps every word anchored and lets you read with less effort.

Velo is built to protect comprehension rather than sacrifice it. It adds smart pauses that slow down naturally at commas, sentence ends, paragraphs, long words, and numbers so you never lose the thread, and the pinned ORP letter removes the side-to-side eye movement that tires you out. You start at a comfortable speed and push your words-per-minute up gradually, and a 3-2-1 countdown with a ghost replay of the last two words eases you back in every time you resume.

You can bring almost anything to read. Paste text directly, import PDFs and EPUB books, save web articles (Velo extracts just the article text on your device), scan physical book pages with your camera using on-device OCR, share to Velo from any app, or open files straight from the Files app. A Content Explorer lets you read, search, and jump around the full document, then drop back into speed reading exactly where you were.

Velo is private by design. It has no servers, no account, and no analytics, so your documents, progress, and reading habits never leave your iPhone. The only time Velo touches the network is to fetch a web page you explicitly ask it to import, and even then the article is parsed to text entirely on your device. On the App Store, Velo carries a Data Not Collected privacy label.

Velo lets you read anywhere from 100 to 1000 words per minute. Most readers move through ordinary text at roughly 200–300 WPM, so even a modest increase means finishing your reading in far less time. You set the pace with a simple speed pill, start where you are, and raise your WPM as it starts to feel comfortable. Velo also tracks your personal-best speed and the time you save versus your baseline.

Velo is free to try. Velo Unlimited removes every limit — an unlimited library, full-length imports, speeds beyond 500 WPM, every theme and font, and your complete reading stats. It is offered as an auto-renewing subscription at $2.99 weekly with a 3-day free trial, $4.99 monthly, or $29.99 yearly, plus a one-time Lifetime option at $59.99. Purchases are handled securely through your Apple account.

Velo is not yet released and is coming soon to the App Store for iPhone. This page is the best place to learn what Velo does before launch; check back for the App Store link when it goes live.
