Hello everyone. Today we will be talking about rapid serial visual presentation or RSVP for short. RSVP eliminates the need to move your eyes across text when reading and increases the number of words you can read per minute. Right now we are reading at a third grade pace, so let’s speed this up a bit. Still with me? Now we are reading at an eighth grade pace. In addition to reduced eye movement, RSVP reduces subvocalization. Subvocalization is when read out loud in your head. With this method you simply don’t have the time to process subvocalization. You also don’t have the chance to backtrack and check words you may have missed like pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. Catch that? Of course not. In one study, Elizabeth Schotter and colleagues tested partipants’ reading comprehension when their ability to reread words was taken away. The researchers did this by using an eye tracker and replacing the words the participant already looked at with Xs. They found that when the participants could not reread words in a sentence their comprehension of the sentence suffered. Now we are reading at an average adult speed. If you don’t think I’ll push the bounds of your reading speed by the end of this video you are sadly mistaken. Despite the research suggesting that RSVP leads to poor reading comprehension, companies like Spritz and Spreeder have created RSVP solutions that could possibly help consumers read faster on more devices. Particularly RSVP companies believe smartwatches could benefit from this technology as their screens cannot fit many words at one time. Is this meaningless innovation since reading faster doesn’t mean reading better? Maybe. We are reading at an average college student speed at this point and I think we can agree this is hard. If you have kept up so far I am impressed. This isn’t easy to do on the first try. Which leads to the thought that maybe all we need to do to learn how to read this way is practice. The average college professor reads around this speed. Unless a bunch of PhDs or very fast readers subscribe to my channel, I’m going to assume I lost most of you at this point. Therefore, I will just use this moment to prepare you for the next speed reading that is to come. I will be communicating a secret message to those who can read at 900 words per minute. This is how fast speed readers can read so let’s see if you can keep up. [This part is hidden in the transcription because it’s only meant for those who can actually read at this speed!]

Reading at 900 wpm was quite scary; it felt like my consciousness was slower than my reading speed :p
Haha it takes a lot of focus to keep up. I even struggle with it and I wrote it!

Last thing I saw was "this fast brag to your friends" 😂

Same haha first try too lol

Reading fast is one thing, but retaining in your brain what you have just read is another!
Definitely!!!
for me a really good way i found thats still faster than normal reading is just after speed reading it just explain what happened out loud after your done, the more you do it the better your brain gets at keeping it
@@shrub9677 i can tell you one thing as med student...while you can probably speed read thru catcher in the rye, you can NOT speed read at 600wpm through an anatomy and physiology textbook. you do that and guarentee yourself a big fat F- lol
It's interesting that I found it easier to read at 450 WPM than 300 WPM. Could be because I'm a college student and that's the pace I'm used to. But I definitely noticed more subvocalization at 300 WPM which impeded on my ability to read quickly.
this was the case with me aswell. I think its because at 300 and below your actually trying to read every single word and then assemble meaning from those words simultaneously but around 450 i think you just see the words all at once and you brain just kind of generates an appropriate meaning based on what it just saw without being "given" the adequate amount of information to determine its actual 100% meaning. That's kind of what i was able to gather from how my brain was working but I'm not sure if i explained it exactly right. Ig you can think of it like computer game lag where your not seeing the full 60 fps properly but you still know what's going on based on the information you saw before and after the lag.
@@carsoncaskey5421wow you are right I think that’s what it is because at 300 I felt they were spaced out but at 450 they were somehow compacted by the fact that it’s faster which kind of bonds them together
I think it's because at 300 wpm the words were more difficult and concept wasn't as straight forward. Same thing happened to me.
ngl i dought have a cluw what yall are talking abought i just capped out at 900 and everything below that was ez for me and im not in colloge im 15years of age
My thoughts exactly
"If you have kept up so far, I'm impressed"
At least my college degree was worth one thing
o
I’m sorry, but it was worth nothing
I didn't go to college, I kept up to the very last sentence. The degree was not worth it 😂
Thirtenn years old and i can read as fast u lesh goo
@Adam Björnström thats cheating so not really the same
I often enjoy “WATERMELON”
how about wizard
how about
E
nah, i like cantaloupe
watamalon
@@crypto2633 let's be honest everyone enjoys e its magical
if you have kept up so far, im impressed! my man i actually thought we werent even halfway there
I am a English Major and an Avid reader, i think it’s pretty surprising how i could comfortably read at 600, i was able to read the 900 but was abit difficult.
“Watermelon” was the secret message, i got it after trying to read it a second time
I was struggling at 450 wpm, and I'm at college. Any tips on how I can increase my reading speed and comprehension text.
Did u get wizard tho?
i thought it was "waterflow" and i was like wtf does that mean
I got waterfall
i got it the first time and i'm a seventh grader
You see, the smart person would just put this on a slower speed
That's what i did
And the crazy people will put it on double speed
Dang he found a loophole
1200 is my limit
Im way faster than 2 times speed im the true flash.
Watermelon!
I legit saw melon and a w so I’m going with my gut instinct.
I can read really fast, I saw watermelon! 🍉
Or you slowed it down and read watermelon
Yeah I'm with JAKE
i thought it was water buffallo
I saw it but barely. This is a really cool test though.
No matter how many times I rewatched it, every time I got to the fastest part with the message I focused too hard on the quotes.. but my reading comprehension is amazing, so if anyone is still here and knows other tests, id love to see them
I made it to 900, and everything after that was incomprehensible.
I don’t particularly like “WATERMELON” but I like people like gandolf, who are “WIZARDS”
Same
Same bro, same
I can’t disagree
I can do 1350 :(
U slowed down the video
3rd grade: this is pretty fast
College professor: I am speed
But like when your in 7th reading at a college professor speed I think I need some help

Me: you say what... how is that college more like that’s reading slow man,
Me: *spits of laughter* XD so easy it said to comment wizard ok I commented it!
This is so cool, it's like you're a wizard unlocking our brain potential. I think I should have watched this video while chewing watermelon gum, but that's just me.
smart way to comment without other ppl getting the answer lol 😂
This is amazing wow
I could kinda of read the fastest but I could read 900
“Watermelon” is what I’m supposed to say I’m pretty sure
No watermelon, wizard and brag to your friends wer the messages
Yes it was watermelon!
It is

I was able to read all of them! First try too!
“Watermelon” are “wizards”
People: Change playback speed to 0.25
Other people: wait, thats illegal
Isaac Sim exactly what I did lol
You did that that is illegal who would do that
Me too
did it too see the secret message lol
I don’t need to it’s easy
I can't think of the appropriate words to use to compliment this. So enjoy the words 'Watermelon' and 'Wizard'. Those are good words.
This comment has me feeling so complimented. Thanks!
Did you really read that at full speed? I had to slow the video down.
I read the 1800 speed easily it’s just a matter of finding a reason to want to read that fast
@@lombre9149 I can do almost 35 wps, which is about 2K wpm. And you’re right, it’s absolutely a matter of wanting to read that fast.
No one in their right mind would want to read poetry at that speed, for example. There are reasons that people don’t speedeat creme brûlée. For one thing, the sugar might cut your upper palate. For another, it would be a waste-some things are meant to be savored.
I’m an English literature teacher. (I get to say that when I teach, it’s lit.) I’ve been reading since I was very, very young. I mostly use speed reading for email and checking my work. It’s also useful for reading what students have written and turned in.
I found I was able to still read the text at 900 words per minute, however failed when it got to 1800 words a minute. Then I remembered, I watch all my TH-cam videos on double speed.
You're a genius
for my first time this was really enlightning! i can read comfortably at 600 wpm but was really struggling with the 300 wpm
and for my first read the secret message was watermelon or waterballoon it was pretty fast
i didnt catch a thing in the 1800 wpm tho lmao
I got most of 900 but 1800 was insane and I only picked up a couple of words.
Same
@It's Jemmy Yeah I think that was the case maybe if that didn't happen we might be able to understand more of that
@It's Jemmy finally a man with brains 😑
Same
I did 1800 one twice and i think it says "if you can read this you are a genius, comment wizard if youre still here"
I'm pretty proud of myself for having dyslexia and getting to 900 wpm
I think It might be easier since it's one word at a time and we don't have to move our eyes idk. Cause I think I have dyslexia but it's mild.
Wow they lost me at 257 i was barely keeping up
@@saweramohammad3448 same. This video was depressing for me. I could barely hold up with eighth grade and I am a college student in computer science, lol.
@@jaredtweed7826 lol exactly! I'm a final year uni student and it was depressing for me too (back when I watched this video) but i found out I have dyslexia so at least there's a reason for it. I genuinely didn't know people could read that fast.....
@@jaredtweed7826 IM IN FIFTH GRADE A GOT UP TOO 900
Awesome, I now know the which speed I feel more comfortable in and can do; 900 WPM
I started struggling at 8th grade on “subvocalization” and then at adult. I’m a 40-year-old college student who has read 800-page novels in a week🤔This might explain why it takes me forever to get through my weekly textbook reading assignments. I process/digest the information I read better when I’m going slower. At high school and college level speed, I recognized words here and there, but they had no meaning without the context provided by slowly digesting the words in between what I caught.
Bruh I read that in a day
*900 was okay but 1800 was too much*

And yes, I typed that in manually
WATERMELON!!! Why was this test so fun😂
This helps with my adhd so much! Idk if thats just for me or not but it keeps me focused and not getting lost in my head and having to read something like 5 times.
i got lost at 900wpm but everything else was a breeze
Yea no I checked the time and got lost in thoughts so.. did help a lot tho
Also me
watermelon
@Vynusk "Watermelons", also the serious was flashed at 1800 WPM. :P
Wizards
CONGRATULATIONS
wizard.
U just slowed down to 0.25 speed..
i feel like a wizard for getting past all of this
In kindergarten I already had a grade 3 reading level so I’m not that surprised but being in grade 7 I managed to read the secret message at 900 and read like 75% of words at that speed
Hey!
I'm 19.
By the way,
Watermelon Wizard.
Whitcheef u sped it down didn’t u
@@cyrusg8402 I did
Miky I watched the 1800 part lots to understand it but 900 was easy
Watermelon, just watermelon.
Suzy Musto heh
The issue is that it prevents you from reading blocks of text simultaneously, which is a common technique with speedreaders. When I read, I look at the whole paragraph, or several sentences in a row, and read it all fluidly. The choppy motion on a screen is terrible, and I can probably read faster without it.
I agree.
Same here.
@@matthewfong2976 mans forgot to switch accounts 💀
Fr, my method is just to read like I’m being told the story hearing the words and comprehending slowly behind frees up extra room for speed, managed to finish books in one sitting using this
Eh sounds like cope
its pretty easy now i love reading my favorite is wings of fire
I could read in my head to the end
“If you can read this fast brag to you’re friends”
....That’s the last thing I comprehended.
The rest was just a flash
I could read the college level one and I could understand most of the college professor.
Same
Boi I'm 12 and can mostly read collage
I'm 18 years old, in a few days, I'll be in a college and i have eighth - grade reading speed. 👌👌
Just towards the very end it got weird for me when it all stopped I couldn't process the last few words .
Literally me doing all nighters trying to read 6/7 books in 1 day
If people published books like this online, I would read more books.
Watermelon bro 🎉 Love ur channel! (Dont forget wizard!)
im a 3rd grader and i was able to read 900 but not 1800 i love reading books and im a fast typer and reader and i read books every day so i get lots of practice
I am a extremely fast reader for my age. I’m way under the age of a college professor but 600 wpm is the speed I usually read fictional novels. Btw I had a really good idea for a book, watermelon wizard.
"Watermelon 🍉" is the only thing I saw in the message🤣🤣🤣
As a highschool student with dyslexia I got all but the last one
i can read all of these and i am a 6th grader. do i get my brownies or no?
I could barely keep up, but this is an awesome video idea. Subbed..
Thank you, much appreciated!
watermelon. 900 is the speed some closed captioning happens so I'm so used to reading this for live television.
I’m in high school (middle school in America) and I could read 900 WPM last time I checked now it’s about 1400 WPM I’ve been told many times I’m a strong reader by teachers however my default talking speed is slow
watermelon:) i’m a senior in college and could finish this. yay.
Interesting way to read! Do you know if there is an app or program where you can put these type of captions on your videos? Thanks :)
Its cool watermellon wizard. Am I doing this right?
You are doing this more than right!
I slowed the video down to 0.25x speed to get the answers :P
Omg I got that too with no change
I got to be fair.. 600 was so hard for me xd but im 1st grade... so dont expect too much 😂😂
i got watermellon
Last week I decided to do this while half asleep, I could read and retain the 900 wpm for like 3 days, I did in fact brag to my friends about it
450 is according to the text the average speed of an college student. Still not a problem even though English is not my mother tongue. In German this would be much easier for me. But as I'm studying computer science I have to read often enough English text fast so I'm quite good at it.
I saw watermelon and thought that my brain had just completely turned to much and was spitting out random words, and lo and behold, it was
You also can't backtrack the words you may read
Me on yt taps the right side of my screen 2 times: I am four parallel universe ahead of you
i got up to professor speed and a little bit of the next one where it announced the secret message, but i couldn't get past the next one where the message actually was... damn.
hey i caught pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovoncanoconiosis i’ve read and spoken it so many times
"Watermelon" and "Wizard," 1800 WPM was a bit tougher but still managed to get it
yeah by slowing it down 😶
Im only in year nine and im proud to say i can keep up with college student speed
Good job!
Shawn Doh I’m. In grade 5 and read 1800 wpm he said comment wizard if you could read it
Death Note You have been caught changing the speed to 0.25 lmao
Dangadash he's being sarcastic
Death Note I'm in grade 2 and I can keep up with 1800 wpm when setting the speed to x2
So what if your a reading on a watermelon TV could you be a reading wizard?
I wonder how much youtube's video framerate impacts doing this. I'm able to do 900 and 1800 on the browser plugins, but it blurs together too much here. I have a 144hz monitor tho.
Aqua round fruit.
Damn I feel like a WIZARD.
I could read at the rate of a college professor (600 wpm) and I’m 15. I truly believe RSVP is the future, it is already popular but still unrecognised. All it takes to get good at reading with RSVP is practise, with only little amounts having by a large impact on your reading pace. Really try to not read out loud in your head (subvocalise) to improve reading standard text.
I'm 12 and I could kinda read 900 wpm
@@zack-mq9pf That’s most people. You have to be able to see comprehend every word and understand it at that second for it to be your reading speed. You should be able to thoughtlessly read a chapter of a book at that speed for it into count.
@@MrDanMaster I could comprehend 900 and I’m 13. I can do most of 1800 too. Honestly 600wpm is slow lol.
@@superidol238 When I was 6 I could do 1500 wpm if I was on cocaine.
@@MrDanMaster good for you? are you saying im lying?
Although I'm in 10th grade, I will read probably at an average of 150 WPM if I'm trying to understand it properly. My max reading speed while understanding is either 300 or 450 WPM. I can process between 25% and 75% of 600 WPM.
If I want to reduce eye movement while scroll reading text what are some suggestions? Would this be the recommended way to increase my reading speed and subject retention?
Read with your peripherical vision
I found this a quite interesting experience and would love to learn more about how the human brain works with this.
This was actually my first experience with both speed reading and RSVP (just found it by accident) and you somehow lost me at 1800 WPM - I mean I still got the meaning (that you are a supposed to comment "wizard" if you are still able to read) but cannot recall the text word by word as I can usually do after reading something or having a conversation and as I can with all the slower texts after having seen them once - but I found 900 WPM still okay to do.
That being said ... "watermelon" / "wizard".
I have studied this extensively if you’d like to learn more. This is an overlooked mechanism that actually has a biological relationship that’s under rated and leveraged. Look into Long Term Potentiation to see how the human brain uses this. For further evidence of it’s efficacy, look into marketing and advertising journals that document the use of rapid serial visual presentation. It’s the basis for high speed imprinting and essentially, subliminal messaging, which is accepted as a method of modulating human behavior.
@@IAmJonesty Thanx for the reply. I will look into the things you mentioned.
So apparently I need to comment watermelon and then call myself a wizard while bragging to my friends about my inhuman speedreading ability.

Where are my brownie points?
In the mail and should be getting to you soon. Shipping and processing, am I right?
At 300 wpm my brain couldnt "talk" in my brain as fast as the text was going but I was still able to read and even ginished damn Ill send it to my friends
900 wpm was interesting although still fairly readable with so few words, i believe the secret word was watermelon. I saw wizard on the faster one was the word but only caught parts of the phrasing
I am 10 years old with no practice and I can do 900 words per minute
At 450 it was a piece of cake
At 600 it was still readable for me but I was reaching my limit and I doubt I could hold a consistent 600wpm for pleasure
At 900 wpm I had a comprehension of 50% I’d say
It was the same for me

I can actually read at 900 wpm wow
900 is comprehensible but it’s purely because I’m making inferences based on the words I’m seeing so while I can understand what you’re saying Im not actually reading all of it
I get serious Brownie points if I'm still reading this?
1800- I think it said “You’re a genius if you’re still understanding this.”
What it actually said: “You get serious brownie points if you’re still understanding this”

I couldn’t keep up with 1800 mostly I should probably practice more
Also watermelon and I heard something about wizards
Whats the test
Lol I enjoy “watermelon” and wish I could be a “wizard”
I saw waterfall for a sec oof
I need a computer program that does this with texts. It’s a super cool fast way to read.
I have a program that does that actually. It has the entire English language structured from basic up to top 5% of English speakers, with the ability to do custom lists and it has the definitions for the words as well. The premise is to train yourself to stop subvocalizing and to trust your self that what you see is what you see. The comprehension problem is solved by reading the definitions of each word you flash.
I'd like to see more random writing. Knowing to watch for a message at 900 made it pretty easy. The compliment at 1800 was too obvious a topic.
As for people learning it, smaller changes in speed after 600 would help.
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is a pretty famous long word. Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia might be less easily recognized?
