This has been around for a very long time, long enough for Cheech & Chong to parody it [1].

Paraphrasing what Woody Allen said:

I took the Evelyn Wood speed reading course and it really works! I read "War and Peace" in a hour, and I had perfect comprehension! It's about Russia.

I have the Evelyn Wood book. The first technique they teach on speed reading does work well. The other techniques I could not get to work.

I was listening to a podcast episode where the guy being interviewed was selling a speed reading course. He said it was all about improving your peripheral vision. I have not seen much on this idea online. But I think there may be something to it.
