Reedy is an advanced implementation of speed reading.
Words are displayed quickly, one after the other, in the same place on the screen, increasing the speed of perception of each word.
You spend no more time on moving your eyes along the lines.

Now you’ll be able to read twice, three or even four times faster than you used to read.
Reading from left to right, and up and down has become hopelessly outdated.
Now you can read being entirely absorbed into the text.

Now you’ll be able to read two, three, or even four times faster than before.
Reading from left to right and up and down is hopelessly outdated.
You can read by being completely immersed in the text.
Rolling and moving along the lines won’t distract you anymore.
