This application will flash words on the screen at a speed of your choice. Sit back, relax, and let the words come to you! You can even adjust the Chunk Size, so that you can practice reading multiple words at a time.

The application is very easy to use. Just paste in the text you would like to read, click the continue button, and you’re ready to go! If you can’t think of anything to read, try looking in Wikipedia for an article!

In the main screen of the application, you’ll find sliders to adjust the Words Per Minute speed, the Chunk Size, and the Font Size. Use the Play/Pause button for when you want to start or pause, and use the Stop button to start over.

The main purpose of this application is to help you read at a speed high enough that subvocalization is rendered impossible. When words flash at a certain speed, each following word will come before the completion of the subvocalization of the previous word, resulting in a sort-of “assisted speed reading”, in the sense that subvocalization is forced to be absent.

So push yourself to the max, and see how fast you can go!

The full version of this software is scheduled to launch on July 30th. Look forward to more updates and free demos in the coming days!
