Speed Reading III

Speed Reading III is a handy app that helps you read faster without losing your understanding. We all know that reading quickly is cool, but it can be tough to really get what you just read. This app is designed to help you find your top reading speed and even boost it through fun and challenging exercises.

How It Works

If you're curious about how the app works, just load up one of the documents included in it. The text shows up in two columns, which makes it easy to focus on small bits at a time. This way, you can try your best to understand what you're reading without getting distracted by too much text at once.

Reading Experience

The rest of the text fades into the background, so it doesn't pull your attention away from what you're currently focused on. Plus, if you want to look back at something specific, you can just click on any line to see its contents whenever you need!

Adjustable Speed

You also get to choose how fast you want to read! You can change this speed during an exercise if it's feeling too easy or too hard for you.

Limitations

Now, here’s where things get a bit tricky. One major downside is that whether you're using one of the texts provided or adding your own stuff, there's only a certain number of lines that can show up based on how big your window is. So basically, all your reading exercises end up being pretty short.

This means that while focusing for a short time isn't too tough, the real challenge comes when you're trying to keep that focus over longer texts. Unfortunately, Speed Reading III doesn’t let you do that right now.

Who It's For

If you're an experienced reader, this tool might not really be worth installing since you'll zip through samples in no time flat. But hey! If you're newer to reading fast and want some practice, this app could still be helpful for you.

Conclusion

If Speed Reading III had more options for longer texts or allowed bigger windows for display, it would definitely be more useful! For now though, it's got its limits but might still work well for those who are just getting started with speed reading.
