Description
A row of letters and numbers flashes for a split second - then you type it back from memory. Unlike passive speed reading apps, active recall trains your visual span, short-term memory and focus. 6 difficulties x 9 levels, from 150 to 650+ characters per minute. New in this update: a result screen with your reading speed and how much faster the next level is, statistics with your progress over time, tablet layouts and 22 languages. Free on Android, no subscription.
