We help you get your reading time back
Acceleread exists to turn slow, effortful reading into a fast, confident skill — for students, professionals and lifelong learners.
The average adult reads around 200–300 words per minute — roughly the same pace they had in high school. Not because they can’t read faster, but because nobody ever trained them to. We started Acceleread to change that.
Inspired by how language apps made daily practice addictive, we built a “Duolingo for speed reading”: short, gamified sessions that retrain the habits holding your reading back — excessive fixations, backward regressions and heavy subvocalization — while checking comprehension every step of the way.
Our principle is honesty. Real speed reading isn’t about hitting 10,000 words per minute; it’s about comfortably and reliably reading faster while still understanding — and remembering — what you read. That’s what we help you build, a few minutes at a time.
Skill, not shortcuts
We build a permanent ability you keep for life — not a tool that reads for you and leaves you dependent.
Honest about the science
We promise realistic, comprehension-checked gains — never fantasy numbers.
Practice that’s fun
Reading training should feel like a game you want to open, so the habit actually sticks.
