About Speed Readingo

Speed Readingo is a speed reading and memory training app for iPhone and Android, made by Fastemy. This site holds its free tools and lessons, in English and Turkish.

The app

The app turns the method into a daily routine: a lesson path, RSVP drills up to 1,200 words per minute, Schulte tables, memory games and a daily streak. It is free to download, with an optional Premium subscription inside the app.

On the App Store it appears as “Speed Reading - RSVP Reader” in the US, “Hızlı Okuma Eğitimi” in Türkiye and “RSVP Reader Concentration Grid” in other English-speaking storefronts; on the home screen it is simply Speed Readingo.
