Pacer

Read 2-3x faster on the web with Pacer. Do focused speed reading!

Do you use a pen or pencil while reading a textbook? Does it help you read with more focus and speed? Imagine having such a tool for reading online as well!

Pacer is that tool. It guides your eyes while reading any text on the web, just like a pencil guides your eyes while reading a textbook. Pacer highlights text in a paragraph sequentially, ensuring your eyes follow the highlighted text, enhancing your reading experience.

Pacer works on all popular websites like Wikipedia, The New York Times, Reddit, and ChatGPT. Simply visit the website you want to speed read on, click the Play button in the Pacer toolbox, and start reading.

Pacer utilizes a visual technique called Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP), used by the fastest speed readers in the world. It helps eliminate subvocalization (the inner voice that sounds out each word) and excessive focus on individual words, allowing you to read more visually. This means faster reading while maintaining comprehension. With Pacer, you can boost your reading speed from an average of 200 words per minute to around 400 words per minute or faster. Think of the time you’d save every day!

As a new tool, Pacer may take a little getting used to. Try adjusting the speed to your liking and selecting the right highlight color. Early reviews suggest that it takes about 3-4 sessions before users become accustomed to Pacer and unlock their full reading potential.

PRO TIP: Reduce subvocalization as much as possible. Focus on the highlighted words and try not to sound them out. You'll notice an instant boost in comprehension!
