RSVP 2.0 · Speed reading without strobe fatigue
Speed reading evolved beyond the 2014 strobe box.
Legacy RSVP tools flash words in a flat box, exhausting your eyes within minutes. EyeStill delivers a smooth spatial stream with peripheral anticipation, letting you reach 600+ WPM with effortless comprehension.
Stop reading the bottom of the screen. Watch the face. EyeStill puts every word right at the speaker's lips, the moment it is said — you read and see the face in one glance. It follows whoever is talking and moves with every cut. Watch at 1× or 2×: your eyes stay where the person is. Turn on translation and keep the real voice, while the meaning appears at the lips, translated with the whole talk in mind. ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini answers arrive the same way, while they are still being written. Books too. One point of focus, no lines to chase. Free, no account, and the video never leaves your browser. You've just read all this without moving your eyes.
Why spatial kinetic flow outperforms flashing boxes.
No strobe-light eye strain.
First-generation RSVP apps flash words on and off in a single flat box. At high speeds, this strobing fatigues the brain. EyeStill introduces a kinetic spatial stream with peripheral anticipation, keeping your eyes completely relaxed.
Morphology-Aware ORP lock.
Unlike naive center-alignment, EyeStill calculates the Optimal Recognition Point taking prefixes into account — shifting fixation directly to the lexical root onset where your brain extracts core meaning.
Information-Theoretic Surprisal (Hale & Levy).
Reading time is dynamically scaled by word predictability: -log2 P(w_t | Context). Predictable collocations accelerate by 20%, while dense, high-entropy terms receive automatic cognitive slowing.
Constituent-Level Syntagmatic Parsing.
Optionally absorb text in 2-3 word meaning groups (adjective + noun, prepositional phrases) calibrated to human foveal width (4-5° visual angle) with Head-ORP fixation on the primary semantic word.
Not just showing words. Understanding how your brain reads them.
A real speed reader cannot use a rigid timer. EyeStill runs in-browser neural models and information-theoretic analysis to dynamically adapt speed to language structure in real time.
RuBERT-tiny ONNX via WebGPU
Runs deep contextual vector embeddings entirely in your browser with zero latency. Tracks semantic cosine drift between sentences to detect narrative topic shifts and grant a 180ms cognitive orientation cushion.
Surprisal & Bigram Priming Engine
Empirical n-gram transition models with Kneser-Ney smoothing. Predictable transitions ('в то же время', 'потому что', 'друг с другом') glide by at 0.8x speed, freeing working memory for key arguments.
Discourse Shift Accommodation
Contrastive markers ('однако', 'впрочем', 'напротив', 'вопреки') automatically trigger a 1.15x pause, giving your brain's mental model time to reorganize without losing the narrative thread.
100% Local Client-Side Execution
All neural embeddings, morphologic parsers and vision models execute inside WebAssembly and WebGPU on your local machine. No book, document or text is ever transmitted over the network.
