Most people can double their reading speed with proper training. LumaRead uses RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) technology to help you read faster by eliminating eye movement and reducing subvocalization. With just 15-20 minutes of daily practice, you can go from 250 WPM to 500+ WPM in 3-4 weeks.
Understanding your current reading speed is the first step to improvement. Whether you're a student trying to finish textbooks faster, a professional processing work documents, or a book lover who wants to read more, knowing your baseline WPM helps you set realistic goals and track progress.
