copy and paste the Text you want to read... then submit it ...press Go.. And you can increase or decrease the speed of words by "-" and "+" and try to read it with less speed in the beginning and increase the speed each day you practice.. Smile

This is quite an interesting site. I'd like to see if our members really do read faster as a result of practicing on it.

Thanks for sharing. Another useful too that I use all the time is an add on for firefox. It's called RSVP for firefox. Google it. You can read the computer screen 3X faster.

Interesting but my guess is that we read more than one word at a time when we are trying to read fast. i.e. we look at who sentence or phrase at once.
