Speeder is an online training service for improving reading speed.
When we read, we don't scroll our eyes in a linear fashion; instead, we make small jumps and embrace a number of characters with our gaze. Speeder plays on different parameters to extend this range of perception and character recognition speed.
Speeder plays with different parameters to extend this range of perception and the speed of character recognition, and it's interesting to note how the size of the characters or the number of words displayed at a time can vary our speed.
Completely open, Speeder accepts any kind of text: you simply copy a text, however long, and Speeder displays it at a certain scrolling rhythm, a certain number of words at a time and at a certain font size.
You can determine the rhythm, font size, number of words displayed at a time, window width, color, alignment and a few other settings.
An interesting reading training tool... Speeder
