I can't tell you how much this product helped me in my last Master's level class. The ability to read all of the research papers in .PDF format really helped speed up the research I had to do. Unfortunately some of the Masters dissertations were (in essence) .jpg images instead of .PDF's created from text. So I couldn't use RapidReader. I would have "killed" to have RR be able to read those files too since I had to read and review over 1200 pages of dissertations for the research project!

Can't say enough good things about the product! I love it!

With RapidReader, I feel the program does the reading and I do the comprehending. It's amazing!

I can see applications with all kinds of flashcards and I want to try it with vocabulary. I took a speed reading mini-course years ago, but even though I read extremely fast, I find this program is very comfortable on my eyes. I can see some real serious applications as kids are switching from 3rd to 4th grade where they go from learning to read ∫ to reading to learn. I have noticed over the years that slower readers often donπt understand what they are reading because by the time they get to the end of a sentence they forget what they started with. Nothing compels kids to read faster. This will push them painlessly. The more I think about it that is an excellent selling point ∫ it is purely painless ∫ easily graduated to higher and higher speeds.

My wife objects to my reading with the light on while she is trying to sleep. Due to this, I began using my Palm to read books so as not to bother her. I purchased Rapid Reader for Palm about a month ago. I find this method of reading much easier and more natural than reading traditional ebooks on the Palm's small screen. I am up to 350 wpm now and reading very efficiently while having fun at the same time. Instead of sounding the words out in my mind, I just relax and the words seem to penetrate without concentration or stress. Both my speed and comprehension have improved dramatically. I highly recommend this product to anyone who loves to read.

I've been meaning to write but was so swamped with trying to finish up my Master's that everything else basically dropped off the plate. RR was incredible when I had to do a Lit Review as part of my Master's capstone exam. Instead of being overwhelmed by the number of documents (and pages and pages of research) I needed to get through, RR made it so easy to get the essence of each paper and capture the key thoughts I needed for my Lit Review.

Please be assured that I think that RapidReader is a great product - I'm getting to the point where I'm not sure how I coped without it.

Thanks!
Sometimes it is hard to keep up with all the (Internet) reading I have to do. I am able to use the RapidReader program. Thereby doing more research on material and being able to cover it much more quickly.
For this alone I would like to extend my thanks to you for this program.

I've enjoyed using SoftOlogy's Rapid Reader. I was able to review 60 pages of course notes in 20 minutes the week before my exam and as a result aced the exam!

My Initial Impression: I was thinking, like what is this?
but when we got rolling on those high reading speeds, that was awesome!

Because RapidReader is resident in programs that I normally use for routine reading and can paste-in and append information from programs where it is not resident (such as Lotus Notes) it has become an indispensable tool for me, owing to this convenience. RapidReader is also a particularly effective, yet very simple training device to use to improve my word recognition ability.

The reading experience itself (after a lifetime plagued by subvocal reading) is quite extraordinary. As my mind "synchronizes" with the text flow after a brief period of adjustment, or warm-up, I suddenly realize that the words are flowing from the screen into my mind (truly as if watching a movie), and I am effortlessly absorbing everything. This experience has made reading for me a genuine pleasure; it is no longer just a chore. Other accelerated reading programs that I've sampled are flawed in that the words displayed lose their clarity after an interval of reading. Quite the opposite is true with RapidReader: the words become sharper and more distinct.

In my opinion, RapidReader is a significant breakthrough.
