Well, that was a lot of work for a good laugh ...

... the first book I wanted to read to test this with is an illustrated bird encyclopedia, and ...

... you guessed it ...

... NO PICTURES ! ! !

This is a pure text reader, popping one word at a time in the middle of the screen, no page context, no browsing, no flipping through the book, no going back and forth, no skipping ahead, nothing like you have ever experienced before.

You get information all right ... like stuffing a goose.

My brain feels like pâté.

Maybe I can rig it to a heads-up display on my windshield while I'm driving ... I am staring straight forward all the time anyway, right -- might as well get some reading done in rush hour bumper-to-bumper.

Try it -- you immediately see what I mean.

Try the free browser app -- it's faster to test: www.spreeder.com/app.php

Anyone can read fast, and in 'fast' I mean much faster the one read usually. the problem is not 'the reading' not 'reducing eye movement' the problem is in understanding what one read and in the ability to recall what one read.
The trick is to be able to read faster and understand what you read like you would if reading slowly. for that, this application is not good enough and I am afraid that to achieve it, one needs to go to study with a qualified instructor.

At some stage you neee to pause for a moment to think about what you have read before continuing to read more text, but this program does not know when you want to pause.
There are also times that you want to read a sentence immediately again to be sure that you understood the sentence. Having one word appear on the screen at a time prevents this.

Very bad form!

1. the link to get the license/serial or whatever doesn't send an key. 2 browsers, and 3 email s used, and still no registration key.

2. the software does not allow me to name the directory. it defaults to its file folder name, though it does allow customization

3. It requires users to register in order to use, that is OK, but to log in to use a local software, is an invasion of privacy. They don't need to know what I read. This is an invasion and not worth the effort to continue.

Thanks, but no thanks. It is removed.

It is impossible to test without giving the company far more information than they need or deserve, and demonstrable inability to deliver even a registration key means this publisher is not focused on delivering a quality product, and quality products have great UX, this does not.

Good luck.

I have it installed on xp virtual machine it requires adobe air runtime, it won't install without it, the program itself needs the internet connection, when you run it for the first time you should sing up with your email or log in if you have already, and it needs the internet connection every time you run, if not, it will show an error message with the only option "try again" so it's impossible to work offline.
