It really sucks when theres a buncha crap you have to read for a class or for a paper or something, right? I know, I wished I could read a lot faster so I can jsut get the boring crap out of the way faster. I stumbled across this…uhhh…i dont even know how. This is a pretty neat thing. I tried it out a couple of times and I managed 300 words per minute pretty well. I’m going to try doing what they suggest in the tutorial. Give this a try with some text. Hell, you might be able to use that to get through one of my enormous posts that occasionally pop up, like in the audio section. What do u guys think?

Actual speed reading isnt hard to learn and worth the time depending on your major. ---

It dosen’t interfere with your ability to retain and memorize the information you just read? ---

Here’s the problem I’ve found. A lot of the stuff you have tor ead is off of a book, packet, etc… So you’d have to type it in there first (thus reading it) and then have it read back to you. ---

I never got below a 95 in History/English (lots of reading) in HS or a B in college (mostly creative writing at that point). Math on the other hand…I got B’s in HS and C’s/D’s in college. ---
