SpeedRead was designed to be a tool for increasing your ability to read and retain information. SpeedRead can read an text file and display the words sequentially. The user can adjust rate words are displayed, the number of words displayed at a time, and the minimum number of letters to qualify a word.

A performance counter clocks the actual number of words displayed, the total time and time between word groups. Teachers or users can also later test reading comprehension by administering a quiz based on the material displayed. SpeedRead is a useful tool for improving reading comprehension tests such as the SAT, PSAT MCAT and LSAT.

SpeedRead steams words at you forcing you to pay constant attention and helps you learn to read groups of words rather than reading single words at a time. SpeedRead also has an adjustable rate of speed so that you can learn how to process streams of information at an increasing pace.

Here are some key features of "SpeedRead":

· Reading groups of words instead of single words
· Learning to "absorb" small connector words like "and, the, but, to, etc".
· Forcing constant attention on subject matter.
· User or teacher adjustable rate of speed for word or word group presentation.
