FlashReading — Adaptive Speed Reading Trainer
**Read faster. Build vocabulary. Train smarter.**
FlashReading is an intelligent reading trainer that adapts to your vocabulary level in real time. Using RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) and AI-generated content, it pushes your reading speed while tracking every unfamiliar word — so you learn as you train.
---
Intelligent Speed Adaptation
FlashReading doesn't just time you — it learns from you. After each session, it analyzes your word familiarity, marked words, and confidence level to calculate your optimal reading speed. Adjustments are gradual and data-driven, keeping you in the sweet spot between comfort and challenge.
Push from 60 WPM to 1500 WPM as your skills grow.

Two Reading Modes
- **RSVP** — words flash one at a time in your focus zone, eliminating eye movement and subvocalization
- **Line-by-Line** — traditional horizontal reading with adaptive pacing
Both modes let you mark unfamiliar words mid-session without breaking flow.

AI That Knows Your Vocabulary
FlashReading tracks word familiarity across dictionaries and generates articles tailored to your level:
- **Expand Mode** — weaves your unfamiliar words into new articles so you encounter them in context
- **Speed Mode** — generates content at your reading level for smooth, confidence-building sessions
- **Paste Mode** — train on your own articles (textbooks, papers, anything)
Supports local LLM (Ollama) or cloud API. No AI? Use built-in sample articles.

Vocabulary That Sticks
Mark words you don't know. FlashReading tracks them, measures familiarity over time, and surfaces them in future articles. It's spaced repetition built into your reading flow — no flashcards, no extra study sessions.
