Yometa
- Speed-reading training with English news -
Speed-read the daily news in English. Train your WPM in 3 minutes a day.
Yometa is a training app for how fast you read English, measured in WPM (words per minute).
Articles stream one word at a time in the center of the screen (RSVP). Because you physically cannot jump back, you break the habit of re-reading and translating in your head, and start reading English as English.
Speed alone is not the goal. Every article ends with a 5-question comprehension check, and your reading speed only goes up when you get them right — so you get faster without losing understanding.

Frequently asked questions
Is Yometa free?
Yes. Reading the daily articles, taking the comprehension quizzes and joining the league are all free. The paid plan, Yometa PRO, adds unlimited AI questions, access to past articles and an ad-free experience.
What is RSVP reading?
RSVP stands for Rapid Serial Visual Presentation: the text is shown one word at a time in the same spot. Your eyes never move and you cannot look back, which makes it good practice for reading straight through without translating. Yometa highlights each word's optimal recognition point and pauses slightly after punctuation.
Can beginners use it?
Yes. The starting speed is 100 WPM, one word at a time, and the articles are simplified for learners, so it works from CEFR A1–A2. Your speed only increases when you pass the comprehension check, so it never runs ahead of you.
Where do the articles come from?
They are generated by AI from real news coverage, summarized and simplified for English learners. They are study material, not a news source — please do not rely on them for reporting or investment decisions.
Are the CEFR and TOEIC levels accurate?
They are Yometa's own estimates, converted from your reading speed. They do not guarantee any exam result, but they are a useful way to see your progress.
