Speed read Claude's responses at 600+ WPM using RSVP with Spritz-style ORP highlighting.

Speed Reader Demo

What is this?

A Claude Code skill that lets you speed-read any response. Uses Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) — displaying one word at a time with the Optimal Recognition Point (ORP) highlighted in red. Your eyes stay fixed while your brain processes text at 2-3x normal reading speed.

Install

# Clone to your Claude skills directory
git clone https://github.com/SeanZoR/claude-speed-reader.git ~/.claude/skills/speed

Or manually copy the .claude/ folder contents to your ~/.claude/ directory.

Usage

In Claude Code, after any response:

/speed

That's it. Opens a minimal dark reader with the last response loaded.

Custom text:

/speed "Your text here"

Controls

Key	Action
`Space`	Play / Pause
`←` `→`	Adjust speed (±50 WPM)
`R`	Restart
`V`	Paste new text

Click anywhere to toggle play/pause. Drag & drop text files supported.

How ORP Works

The red highlighted letter is the Optimal Recognition Point — positioned ~1/3 into each word where your brain naturally focuses. By keeping this point fixed on screen, you eliminate eye movement (saccades) that consume 80% of reading time.
