As an avid reader and someone who truly loves books I have always been interested in the subject of speed reading but have never really had the chance to learn it. I just found a great tool though that can help you learn to speed read online and for most people I believe this could mean a great chance to improve your productivity.
Imagine being able to speed read all those emails, research materials and any other material that you need to read each day. Immediately you could save yourself vast amounts of time just by increasing your reading speed.
If this sounds like something that you would enjoy or that could improve your productivity then take a look at
www.spreeder.com. This web application allows you to enter text that you want to speed read and then will quickly show you the words that you have pasted into the box to improve your speed reading. It takes a bit of getting used to but with a little practice you will soon be able to increase your reading speed and so improve your productivity.
Spreeder also allows you to change various settings such as the speed in which words are shown, how many words per chunk, etc. The initial settings when you enter this website are on 300 words per minute and 1 word per chunk. As you improve your reading speed though you can also increase the number of words per minute or the number of words per chunk.
Speed reading is a great way to improve your productivity if you often need to read, and most people need to read most days. The faster you can read, the more time you will have available for other things and the quicker you will be able to get through your inbox.
