Speed Your Read

Reading texts in languages other than our own, can turn out to be difficult for some, but can be greatly improved by studying both general and more complex books. Like an old saying states, practice makes perfect, so, if you're not a book fan, you can try one of the many programs on the Internet that can help develop your reading and eye-focusing skills.

Speed Your Read is a comprehensive yet user-friendly application designed to offer an efficient method to check the reading speed and focus, as well as enhance them by playing various games and viewing diverse texts. It also features a complete dictionary with definitions and examples.

The app is wrapped in a well-organized and intuitive layout structured into four distinct sections, namely, determine and increase the speed, expert mode and admin functions. In order to access the tool, an account needs to be made by inputting a new username and password.

It's recommended, but not mandatory, to start with the reading speed, which displays a random text and once you're done, the tool shows the number of words per minute that you managed to read.

This is taken into consideration for the future drills. In the test results, you can view a simple graph with your activity progress. The exercise section comes with a total of 34 sessions you can do, and each game is unique.

The drills contain different lessons designed to improve the reading and focusing skills, along with a few eye exercises. In order to access the next category, the previous one needs to be completed. You can use a custom file and configure specific settings for an optimal experience.

A few examples are the font size, type and color, shown words, flashes per line, pause between special characters and the box width and height. What's more, the app lets you look up for an unknown term using the built-in dictionary and insert your own texts to view.

In conclusion, Speed Your Read is a useful and interactive utility that comes in handy when you wish to improve your reading speed and focus abilities, as well as increase your eye movement and attention to detail.
