Quality
9.0

This Claude Code skill transforms long AI responses into a rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) format, allowing you to speed-read at over 600 words per minute. It highlights the Optimal Recognition Point (ORP) in each word, minimizing eye movement and significantly boosting reading efficiency. Simply type /speed after any Claude response or provide custom text. The tool opens a minimal dark reader, offering controls for play/pause, speed adjustment, and text pasting. It's fully customizable for WPM, colors, and fonts.

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 Reader
    
    Launch the RSVP speed reader to display text one word at a time with Spritz-style ORP (Optimal Recognition Point) highlighting.
    
    ## Instructions
    
    1. **Get the text:**
       - If `$ARGUMENTS` is provided, use that text
       - Otherwise, extract the main content from your **previous response** in this conversation
    
    2. **Prepare the content:**
       - Strip markdown formatting (headers, bold, links, code blocks)
       - Keep clean, readable prose
       - Escape quotes and backslashes for JavaScript
    
    3. **Write and launch:**
       - Read `~/.claude/skills/speed/data/reader.html`
       - Replace `<!-- CONTENT_PLACEHOLDER -->` with:
         ```html
         <script>window.SPEED_READER_CONTENT = "your escaped text";</script>
         <!-- CONTENT_PLACEHOLDER -->
         ```
       - Run: `open ~/.claude/skills/speed/data/reader.html`
    
    4. **Confirm:** Tell the user it's opening. Mention `Space` to play/pause.

    ## Instructions
    
    1. **Get the text:**
       - If arguments provided below, use that text

    2. **Prepare the content:**
       - Strip markdown formatting (headers, bold, links, code blocks)
       - Keep clean, readable prose
       - Escape quotes (`"` → `\"`) and backslashes (`\` → `\\`) for JavaScript string
    
    3. **Write and launch:**
       - Read the HTML file at `~/.claude/skills/speed/data/reader.html`
       - Find the line `<!-- CONTENT_PLACEHOLDER -->`
       - Insert a script tag BEFORE it with the content:
         ```html
         <script>window.SPEED_READER_CONTENT = "your escaped text here";</script>
         ```
       - Write the modified HTML back to the same file
       - Run: `open ~/.claude/skills/speed/data/reader.html`
    
    4. **Confirm:** Tell the user it's opening. Mention `Space` to play/pause, arrows to adjust speed.

README

claude-speed-reader

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

Speed Reader Demo

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

KeyAction
SpacePlay / Pause
Adjust speed (±50 WPM)
RRestart
VPaste 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.
