USP
Read Claude's output 2-3x faster with Spritz-style ORP highlighting. Integrates seamlessly as a /speed command, works with previous responses or custom text, and offers full customization of reading speed, colors, and fonts.
Use cases
- 01Quickly reviewing lengthy Claude Code AI responses.
- 02Efficiently processing documentation or code explanations generated by Claude.
- 03Speed-reading research summaries or content drafts from AI.
- 04Rapidly scanning through legal or technical texts.

Speed read Claude's responses at 600+ WPM using RSVP with Spritz-style ORP highlighting.

What is this?
A Claude Code skill that lets you speed-read any response. Uses Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) — displaying one word at a time with the Optimal Recognition Point (ORP) highlighted in red. Your eyes stay fixed while your brain processes text at 2-3x normal reading speed.
Install
# Clone to your Claude skills directory
git clone https://github.com/SeanZoR/claude-speed-reader.git ~/.claude/skills/speed
Or manually copy the .claude/ folder contents to your ~/.claude/ directory.
Usage
In Claude Code, after any response:
/speed
That's it. Opens a minimal dark reader with the last response loaded.
Custom text:
/speed "Your text here"
Controls
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
Space | Play / Pause |
← → | Adjust speed (±50 WPM) |
R | Restart |
V | Paste new text |
Click anywhere to toggle play/pause. Drag & drop text files supported.
How ORP Works
The red highlighted letter is the Optimal Recognition Point — positioned ~1/3 into each word where your brain naturally focuses. By keeping this point fixed on screen, you eliminate eye movement (saccades) that consume 80% of reading time.
