A Schulte table is a grid of randomly distributed numbers or letters, used to develop speed
reading, peripheral vision, attention and visual perception. Difficulty rises with grid size:
find the center point, hold your eyes there, and try to read the whole table using peripheral
vision alone, then tap the numbers or letters in order.

research actually says? Read the method.
Grid sizes and game modes
Table sizes run from 3×3 up to 7×7, with 3×5 and 3×7 variants (up to 11×11 in the full
version).
- Time mode: find all numbers or letters in order, as quickly as possible.
- Training mode: starts at 1×1 and grows with every tap, up to your target
size. Newly added cells are highlighted so you can concentrate on the table's edge.
- Training type can be numeric or lettered.
Color schemes and comfort settings
Five schemes to help you stay focused: Default, Color text, Color background, Color text
& background, and Inverse. The center point can be highlighted, and the app can
automatically center the first cell on screen with sound and vibration feedback.
Detailed statistics
Time mode tracks your improvement across work efficiency, warm-up speed, and psychological
stability, so progress is visible session over session.
Why it works
Regular practice is linked to improvements in speed reading, attention stability, peripheral
vision, visual stability, discernment, directed search, and visual-directional search speed.
The longer you practice, the shorter the time needed to read a whole table. Daily use gives the
best results.
