TurboRead

Unlock your full potential by training your brain to read faster and smarter.

TurboRead – Read 2-3× Faster, Keep Every Idea Ever wished you could finish reports, articles, or a chapter in the time it takes colleagues to skim the headlines? Decades of eye-movement and cognitive-science research show that trained readers can understand text fluently at ≈ 400–600 words per minute (wpm)—roughly 2–3 × the everyday average of 200 wpm (Rayner et al., 2016; Carver, 1985). For lighter content such as news feeds or routine emails, even higher rates are possible with only marginal loss of detail. TurboRead turns those laboratory findings into an elegant Chrome Extension you can use on any page you already read—no dull “practice passages.” ⸻ Why TurboRead? 📖 Distraction-Free Reading Mode: Switch to a clean, consistent reading layout with unified fonts and customizable text blocks. Optionally hide images, or other non-text elements to eliminate visual noise—so you can focus purely on the words, not the clutter. Perfect for deep reading, study sessions, or immersive article dives. 🚀 Multiple speed reading modes: • Stream Mode – words glide one at a time for laser focus. • Chunk Mode – display custom word or line blocks for sprint-reading bursts. • Flash Mode – rapid card-like flashes perfect for scanning without eye movement. 📰 Your content, your pace: Train directly on articles, blogs—anything in your browser—so improvements transfer instantly to real work. 🎛️ Fully adjustable: Dial speed up or down with a keystroke. 🧠 Science-backed speed: Builds on peer-reviewed evidence that most adults can safely double or triple their reading rate while maintaining comprehension. 👁️‍🗨️ Eyes & brain in sync: Smart pacing reduce regressions and keep cognitive load comfortable. 🔒 Lightweight & private: Runs locally; we never send your reading data anywhere. ⸻ What does that mean for you? • Finish a 3,000-word report in ~6 minutes, not 15. • Clear the morning news in one coffee instead of two. • Free up hours every week for creative work, study, or downtime. “The real barrier isn’t your eyesight—it’s unused efficiency in the reading circuit. TurboRead helps you tap it.” Ready for a new reading gear?
