Introduction: Speed Reader is a useful software which will help you to accelerate the speed at which you can read text. Words are presented to you one at a time, in the same position, stopping your eyes from having to shift and refocus on every word as they would on a normal paragraph or line. Also the human brain is much more suited for handling a serial stream of data. In fact the only way your brain handles text is by breaking it up into a serial stream before parsing and interpreting it. Speed Reader pre-processes and serializes text, saving your brain from having to do it itself. Punctuation is handled, an extra pause between words occurs for commas, and semi-colons;( ",;"). And an extra two pauses occurs for periods, question marks, exclamation marks and speech marks.(".?!""). These extra pauses allow you to take a mental breath. To read a file containing plain text, using Speed Reader, simply open the file using the open button. MSword .doc files are currently not supported. No support for opening PDF files directly yet, but you can open them in adobe reader, press Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C, to copy the documents text onto the clipboard. Then use the Paste from clipboard button in Speed Reader to input the text into the program.
