I received Speed Reader X for Christmas and I must say that it is the
best speed reading program I have tried at an affordable price. I
have tried them all, Mega Speed Reading, Photo Reading, Evelyn Wood,
you name it, I've tried it. My first experience was with the Mega
speed reading program. Double to triple your reading speed sounded
great...SOUNDED GREAT. Then I realized that my original reading speed
was only 100 words per minute. Way below average. Doubling my
reading speed would only put me at 200 words per minute, still below
average. The enitre 6 hour course included only 16 minutes of useful
information. One piece of information came from the advertisement and
not even part of the program. (See what your reading like a movie.)
All other programs produced similar results. Plus measuring your
speed was a pain. This was back in the mid to late 90's. A few years
ago, I did an internet search and found that all the 100,000 a word
promises were a scam. I discovered speed reader X and your story
basically restated my story. Everything I went through was stated in
your background. The price was also affordable for at least a daring
try. (not more $150 risks that fail.) Amazingly in your short 10 page
manual, you included everything that I discovered through research
over the past 10 years about speed reading and more. I was glad to
see that you provide the option of 10,000 words per minute throught
the practice drills. I am also glad that you can customize your own
text while taking the practice drill so you're not reading the same
passage each time you practice.
My request: I wish that you could customize the text that you are
actually taking a test on your speed in as you do when you practice at
different speeds. I do not feel that I am getting an acurate reading
speed when I am tested on the exact same reading passage each time I
want to test myself. I find that I am not reading it but I am just
going back over what I almost have memorized. If you could somehow
make a patch or add on to the program so I could pull in new text to
test my reading speed on, this would be the best program in
existance, (Believe me, I've tried them all.) Be able to customize
the way you can customize and choose text in the practice speed
drills. This addition would be greatly appreciated.

D. Smith: We are working on an updated online version. The lessons will remain fixed because the material, length and other factors are specifically chosen for each lesson but you can use the Practice Section to load your own material and customize your learning experience by varying the settings.

Hi. I'm on chapter 3 and have already went from 240 wpm to over 500 wpm.
Wahoo!

By Lesson 4 I feel like I am able to read faster. Whether or not I
actually can and even if I'm not comprehending anything, doesn't matter, because by lesson 4 I "feel" I've gained something and I believe that with
practice and continuing the SRX lessons I will be able to read faster.
Basically, I think the average individual will be more than satisfied with
SRX..

I'm an IT professional working for the USGA and I was working on someone's PC when I noticed that they had this software called Speed Reader X. I asked the user
how is the program and if it actually works. The user works in our Rules and Regulations department so they they have to go through a lot of documentation and
she told me that she goes through the documentation very quickly because of the
fact that she knows how to read quickly AND RETAIN the information she just read.
She recommended the product highly so I am purchasing it because I do plan on going back to school. Knowing how to speed read will give me that edge. I can't wait to try it.

From: Gabriel Torres Martinez
Subject: product request
Hello, my name is Gabriel Torres, I live in NZ, I spent last night on
the computer trying the demo version of your product, and I am really
amazed of how quickly it makes me improve, I have been trying for long time
to use the book of Evelyn Wood, and I've found always as a
very important obstacle the fact that it takes too much time, also
that I cannot push the speed up and then keep it up, I naturally slow
down no matter what, but with this software it's so easy!!!, it also
makes me want to come and do it, because there's no delays, click and
go. I wanted to read a small book from OG Mandino, "El vendedor mas
grande del mundo" (in Spanish), and I did it in no time, by setting
the speed reading at 500 wpm, that's double than what I used to read.
I'm desperate to get my hands on the full version,
maybe I can do something to get a copy so I don't have to wait for a
couple of months before I can spare the money for it.
Thank you very much for your time, I wish you the best of the luck, and I
hope one day every person in this world can have this software in
their computers.
Best regards, Gabriel Torres (and little Agostina and Ana Laura) THANK YOU.

I've studied speed reading for several years and overall I'll agree with the good reviews that SpeedReaderX has. The manual is super-condenced with all the fluff taken out. All of the key concepts seem to in in there.

This is so fun to learn with. If I can do it anyone can with the help of this cd!!!

Speed reading is based on getting your eyes to move quickly horizontally across the page and reading groups of words. This program does both of these things well.
The key is practicing regularly because just like learning any new skill it takes some time.
...
Overall, I am happy with the program and would recommend it because it is an excellent value for the money.

My daughter, who is a poor reader working on a highschool level loves this program. She says her reading got better in the first couple of weeks. This girls doesn't like to read at all!!! So...thats a miracle

Compared to many other speed reading packages that I have been offered, Speed Reader X is very reasonably priced. It also does exactly 'what it says on the tin' - it gets on with speed reading right from the start.
There is no unnecessary filling; just install the program, run it and it's straight into lesson 1, speed reading. There are ten lessons and as each one is completed the next one becomes available.
The user is in control all the time and each lesson can be completed over and over until the the user is satisfied with the progress that is made. The program comes with 17,000 books to practise on, and there is guidance on how to read for leisure or for deep understanding, and how to measure progress.
This is a good program that deals with the subject of speed reading in a straightforward manner and I would be surprised if any other program, costing ten times the price, was very much better.

I tried reading a book on speed reading but by the time I made it to chapter 3 they were still telling me how great their system was and how many success tories they had....With SpeedReader-X I was learning with lesson one and I had tripled my reading speed by lesson three.

I have studied a number of speed reading books...Speed Reader-X...combines the most efficient speed reading strategies without the fluff others use to pad out their books... The best accelerative reading program I have found.

My life has truly improved. I was always behind in my reading for classes(University of Southern California) and constantly working to catch up. I would try to read ahead in the chapter just before class but eventually gave up and just sat there like a vegetable waiting for the instructor to pour kowlege in me. It never worked. After using speed reader X I can now zip through the lesson for the day in those few minutes. Plus between classes I can even catch up on my reading so when I go back to the dorm I can spend time doing homework instead of reading chapters. Anyway, I am sure you have hundreds of emails to go through but I wanted to say thanks and let you know speed reader x is the best investment I have made in a long time.

I was more than pleased with your software but I really wanted to say how amazing the bonus ebook disk was. You really should promote it more. There are some true classics here, a library worth of books. I am stunned just reading over the titles. Thanks for including it and if there is ever a volume 2 I will be glad to buy that.

I bought your program for my two children. They are doing fine in school but I wanted to give them any advantage I could. When I saw the difference in their reading abilities after just a week I wa so impressed that I tried the program. Each night after they were in bed I was practicing and I cannot express what a difference it has made to me. I used to throw away magazines that I didnt have time to read, did I mention two kids who has time for anything, but now I can cover magazines and books at up to 600 words per minute...an amazing system.. I have recommended it to several friends.

Our system can change the way you read. You may soon find speed reading easier than regular slow reading. Speed reading is not 'pushing harder'. Anyone can push harder and read faster but this only works for a short period of time. The techniques our system teaches you will change how you read and make reading magazines and books as easy as watching a movie.
