Two modes. One position. Zero friction.

01

RSVP Mode

Words appear one at a time at your chosen speed. No eye movement needed. ORP alignment places a focus marker on the optimal recognition point of each word. Adaptive timing pauses longer on punctuation, paragraph breaks, and complex words.

50 — 1000 WPM

Scrub Mode

Drag horizontally to scrub through words with momentum physics. A sliding window shows surrounding context — spatial enough to orient, sequential enough to stay focused. The bridge between speed and comprehension.

Gesture-controlled
02

Reader Mode

Full page text with your exact position highlighted. Scan ahead, re-read, let your eyes wander. When you're ready, one tap returns to RSVP — exactly where you left off. Your natural reading instincts, preserved.

Your natural pace

Why hybrid reading works

Pure RSVP sacrifices comprehension for speed. Traditional reading sacrifices speed for comprehension. Velo gives you both.

20-40%
comprehension loss

Pure RSVP eliminates regressions — the backward eye movements that account for 10-15% of reading and are essential for understanding. Velo's Reader Mode restores them instantly.

~13%
better for ADHD

ADHD readers perform significantly better with RSVP because eye movements interfere with their reading process. Velo lets them stay in RSVP longer and only drop out when needed.

60-70%
skill transfer

RSVP training transfers to normal reading. Regular RSVP practice at 500 WPM typically raises natural reading speed to 350-400 WPM within 2-4 weeks.

30-40%
faster for low vision

Patients with oculomotor impairments see dramatic speed improvements with RSVP. Clinical researchers recommend free RSVP readers as everyday reading aids.

"Reading is not one activity. It's a dynamic process where the reader constantly adjusts strategy based on content difficulty."
