Sometimes I get frustated when I can't quite master the art of speed reading because my eyes can only scan through the words in an article but isn't able to pick up the words or digest what the article is all about. Well now I've found a solution to the answer. I stumbled upon this website when I was reading one of my all time favourite IsuHangat (I would categorize it under Gossip Blog even though it's not). It's an online speed reading software that is FREE to use.
The link is here. They provide you the basic version where you can just simply copy-paste an article be it online journals, notes or even e-books that you would like to finish quickly.
Just click on the pictures to enlarge.
All you need to do is just:
1- copy-paste the article in the space provided.
2- click on spreed, and then it will take you to the next page
A- Basicly tells you how many words you're reading and at what speed you're reading it.
B- Is the short cut keyboard function that has been set.
So if you're ready to spreed just click on:
1- To play
but if it's going a little bit too fast, just click on:
2- To edit the settings such as font size, font colour, background colour and words per minute.
Under the settings function there's also the advanced settings where you can choose to:
1- slow down on big chunks of word (i.e: encyclopedia)
2- start new chunks at end of sentences and paragraphs
3- slight pause at end of sentences or paragrpahs
4- skip over stopwords which add no additional meaning (i.e: an, the)
By the way, make sure you scan through the artice first to make sure that you're reading the right material before you spreed it so that you won't waste time figuring what the article is all about. Remember, spreeding is used to get the "meat" out of the article.
Happy Spreeding peeps :)
