SPEED READING TRAINER · IPHONE

Speed counts only when you understood it.

Readglide shows one number: words per minute multiplied by your comprehension score. Raw speed is never shown on its own, anywhere in the app.

THE ONE NUMBER

Reading twice as fast while understanding half as much is not progress.

Every measurement has questions

A weekly assessment is a calibrated passage, timed, then six comprehension questions. No questions, no number.

The plan follows the result

Three sessions holding above 75% comprehension and the target pace rises 5%. A single result below 60% and it eases off 10%.

Turkish is measured properly

Agglutinative words break word-per-minute counts, so characters per minute is tracked alongside, and chunk size is character-based.

ONE SESSION

Seven minutes, then six questions.

A warm-up, two drills picked from the skills you are weakest at, then a warm-down on real text.

Amber marks anything driven by time: the pacer, a filling bar, the session timer. Nothing else in the interface uses it.

EIGHT DRILLS

Each one fixes one habit that slows reading down.

01

Chunk Light

A highlight sweeps the text at a set pace, so your eyes stop crawling word by word.

02

No Going Back

Read lines fade and lock. The urge to re-read is counted, not indulged.

03

Narrow Column

One fixation per line, with the column widening as your eye span grows.

04

Schulte Table

Find numbers in order while looking at the centre. Grows from 5×5 to 7×7.

05

Flash Chunk

Two or three words flash in one spot, aligned on the recognition point. Capped at 900 wpm.

06

Word Sprint

A word, then four meanings. Recognition should be automatic, not worked out.

07

Find and Leave

Don't read — scan. Locate the sentence that answers the question and get out.

08

Pick the Summary

Twenty seconds to skim, then choose the summary that actually matches.

BRING YOUR OWN

Train on the thing you actually have to read.

Your textbook, the forty-page report, the article you keep postponing. 130 original passages in English and Turkish are included if you'd rather not bring your own.

Six questions, written on your phone

Comprehension questions are generated on-device from your own text, grounded in the passage only.

No Apple Intelligence on your iPhone? You write a three-sentence summary instead and the app scores what you captured.

YOU VERSUS YOU

One line to beat: you, four weeks ago.

No leaderboard, no rank, no strangers. A dashed line shows where you were, and the solid bars show where you are.

A missed day is an empty dot. No countdown, no lives, no daily quota — you can stop whenever you want.

NO NETWORK, AT ALL

There is nowhere for your reading to go.

Not restricted, not encrypted — the network permission is never requested. What you read is sensitive, so it stays a thing only you know.

Honest answers

Will this triple my reading speed?

No. Most adults read 200–250 wpm; with regular practice 350–500 wpm at the same comprehension is realistic. Anything past that depends on the text.

Is speed reading real?

The gains that survive testing come from fewer regressions, fewer fixations, chunking and automatic word recognition. Readglide trains those and measures the result.

Do I need an account?

There isn't one. The app has no network permission, so there is nothing to sign in to and nothing to sync.

What do I need to run it?

An iPhone on iOS 26. On-device question generation needs Apple Intelligence; without it you get the self-assessment flow and the pre-written questions.
