There is another important arena in which RapidReader provides substantial benefit even when reading speed is not the primary issue. For those with special needs, the computer environment can present a range of difficulties. The RapidReader design has inherent characteristics that enhance empowerment in a number of ways. The RapidReader protocol focuses on streamlining information transfer over the "last three feet" from the computer to the reader. That is to say making reading on-screen easier and more efficient. This meant designing an interface that eliminates as many "clicks" as possible and requires only that the reader sit back and view the content without having to manipulate an object. RapidReader eliminates most of the physical requirements of reading, whether it's scrolling or moving a mouse or turning a page or folding a newspaper. RapidReader does the work of reading so the user can focus on comprehending.

RapidReader is a "movie like" experience in that it presents words one at a time, in a very large font, in the center of the reader's field of vision at a speed which the user selects. It reduces many of the limitations to computer use for those with challenges whether physical, visual or neurlogical.
