Reading — Walden, H.D. Thoreau

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear.

How it works

Your eyes do the wrong job.
We fix that.

Conventional reading is mostly eye movement. RSVP — rapid serial visual presentation — holds the text still and moves the words for you, so every glance lands on meaning instead of geography.

01The problem

Eyes jump. Words wait.

Reading a line, your eyes make 4–6 jumps called saccades, with brief fixations between them. Up to 30% of the time, your eyes regress — skipping back to re-read. All that motion adds up.

Your eyes don't read smoothly  they jump in quick saccades, refocus, and skip back. Most of the time is spent moving, not reading. 
02The fix

One word. One spot.

We anchor every word on a single point — the Optimal Recognition Point, marked in green. Your eyes never move. Your brain still reads the whole sentence; it just stops doing the heavy lifting your eye muscles used to.
