In their own words
AccelaReader
AccelaReader is an online RSVP reading tool that flashes imported words in sequence for faster-reading practice. Users can paste text into the reader, choose a reading speed in words per minute, and set how many words appear at once. Display controls cover window dimensions, font size, font color, background color, and alignment. Reading options include variable pacing, sentence or paragraph chunks, pauses, and skipping stopwords. Keyboard shortcuts handle starting or pausing, restarting, loading text, opening settings, moving through the material, and changing speed. A bookmarklet can open selected text from a web page directly in AccelaReader, avoiding manual copying. It runs on the web and is listed with a Chrome extension. AccelaReader has a free plan and no comprehension exercises or guided training. Support is listed through Iris Reading by email and telephone.
