Speed Reading, Assessment and Online Reader Software. Improve your reading skills by training with Drills, Games and Courses. Track your progress by taking Comprehension Tests (for grades 1-12+). Read efficiently online with the Online Reader.

Features: AceReader is reading improvement software. It can be used as reading assessment software, online reader software, reading fluency software, vision training software and speed reading software. We need to read a million things like emails, web pages, books, documents and more in the course of a day`s work. It helps increase reading speed by breaking two habits that make us read slow. Sub-vocalization or actually pronouncing the words read mentally and the re-reading or the regression that makes us go back and read the words again. By presenting text at a faster speed the program makes the sub-vocalization impossible and as text is flashed and new text presented the opportunity to re-read is taken away too. The games, exercises and drills also reduce the eye fixation time or the tendency to spend time at a spot on the page, expands the eye-fixation zone and improves re-fixation speed or the ability to move to a new zone faster. It`s not only a training tool but also an assessment tool and can be used as an on-line reading tool. Drills adjust the training speed based on the assessment carried out and progress detected. With the Online Reader (Expert Mode) you can rapidly read and skim text from web pages and other sources in RSVP mode. In RSVP mode the words come to your eyes instead of your eyes going to the words. It is also customizable and parameters like font, background color, number of words per flash, column width etc.

Overall: A very well designed program focused for the use area and truly intuitive to use.
