Free speed reading software comparisons software for mac

Speed Reading II was developed to help you improve your reading speed. The average reader reads at about 200 words per minute (wpm) with a typical comprehension of 60%.

The top 1% of readers do much better, reading at more than 1000 wpm with a comprehension of 85%. Such highspeed reading requires serious concentration.

This application lets you try reading by looking at two midpoints on each line and continuing to move forward without going back and re-reading. Ten text sources are included.

You can adjust the speed of the moving window from approximately 200 wpm to 1500 wpm in three ranges (slow, medium, and fast). A slider is provided to adjust the speed within each range.

This application lets you try reading by looking at two midpoints on each line and continuing to move forward without going back and re-reading. Ten text sources are included plus you can choose your own text source.

When preparing to use your own text source, remove empty lines because the application will stop reading a text source upon encountering an empty line. If the text source is longer than can be held by the window, you will see only the amount that fits into the window.

You can adjust the speed of the moving window from approximately 50 wpm to 1500 wpm in four ranges (very slow, slow, medium, and fast). A slider is provided to adjust the speed within each range. The approximate speed (words per minute) is displayed.

Reading can take forever. If youre not fast, a short paper can seem like War and Peace. Its time to revolutionize your reading. Its time for Read Read Revolution.
Read Read Revolution displays one line of text at a time. You configure RRR for how quickly youd like to read and it will display lines for an appropriate amount of time. Over time you can increase the reading speed and learn to read faster.
Even if you choose a slow speed, Read Read Revolution can keep you focused because distractions will cause you to miss lines. Thus you will be encouraged to pay attention to the material. This can save valuable time that would otherwise be wasted.
Read Read Revolution includes features like bookmarking (remembers last line read), display font and color customization, and the reading of plain text, RTF, and HTML files. Support for more file types is planned.
Enhancements:
- Reformats text to display properly on screen
- Reads RTF and HTML
- Customization of display fonts and colors
- online help.

Speed Freak, at a user-specified interval, reprioritizes applications so that the frontmost (or active) application gets more processor time than background applications. By default in Mac OS X, all processes have equal priority.
By using Speed Freak, you override this default by increasing the priority of whatever application you are currently using, resulting in faster application performance. Speed Freak accomplishes this through the Unix renice command.
Speed Freak will not affect graphics card performance and will show little to no increase in 3D games. Although Speed Freak does not affect network performance, the increased CPU priority it offers should increase performance in internet applications. For example, web pages with complicated HTML should render faster but download speed will not change.
For more information, see the included ReadMe document in the download.

- Fixes a problem with the Japanese environment.

Requirements:
Mac OS X 10.1 or later.
