A Modern Alternative to AccelaReader
AccelaReader is a capable free RSVP reader. SpeedRead covers the same core use case — paste text, set a speed, read word by word — and adds document upload, a mobile-friendly interface, and finer control over how words are displayed.
No signup. No install. Paste text and go.

Why readers switch to SpeedRead
- You want to load PDFs, Word documents, and EPUB ebooks directly instead of copy-pasting.
- You read on your phone — SpeedRead is built for small screens.
- You want finer display control: focus position, letter spacing, fonts, and sentence pauses.
Where AccelaReader is a better fit
AccelaReader offers words-per-flash grouping (showing 2–3 words at once), which SpeedRead currently does not. If multi-word chunking is central to how you read, AccelaReader remains a good choice.
