- Step Up with AceReader by StepWare, Inc.
-
- AceReader is a Productivity and Self-Improvement Educational reading tool.
- In today's fast-paced information age, it is more important than ever to be a
- proficient reader. Everyone from high powered executives to children just
- learning to read in grade school can benefit from AceReader. It can be used
- to read faster while on the computer. It can also be used in training mode for
- the purpose of learning how to read faster on and off the computer.
-
- AceReader utilizes two technologies: (1) RAPID SERIAL VISUAL PRESENTATION
- (RSVP), and (2) TACHISTOSCOPIC SCROLL PRESENTATION. When AceReader is in
- RSVP mode, text is displayed in the center of the text area. RSVP can be used
- to read faster than normal because your eyes do not need to move. In RSVP
- mode, the words come to your eyes instead of your eyes going to the words.
- When AceReader is in TACHISTOSCOPIC SCROLL PRESENTATION mode, text is
- displayed in a manner that forces the readers eyes to move just like they do
- in normal reading. TACHISTOSCOPIC SCROLL PRESENTATION can be used to train the
- reader to read in a normal fashion at higher speeds.
-
- AceReader can be used:
-
- - As a Productivity Tool. Read faster while on your computer by reading in
- RSVP Mode (Center Text Mode). AceReader can be used to rapidly read and
- skim text found in documents and your clipboard. Using the clipboard
- allows for reading text from other applications like your favorite word
- processor and text from the Internet (i.e. web pages, email, news
- groups...).
-
- - As a Self-Improvement Educational Tool. Learn to read faster both on and
- off your computer by practicing to read in Tachistoscopic Scroll Mode
- (Eye Trainer Scroll Mode) at configurable speed settings. Track your
- progress by taking the reading/comprehension tests that are broken out
- by grade levels. By practicing to read with AceReader and using the
- higher speeds, it is possible to break the habit of pronouncing each word
- in your mind which leads to better reading skills in general. Once you
- break the habit of pronouncing each word in your mind you will find
- yourself increasing the speed setting to higher and higher speeds.
-
- One great way to use AceReader is to use it as a Productivity Tool and an
- Educational Tool at the same time. Use it to read your web pages, email, and
- documents. You will get the immediate benefit of faster reading plus the side
- benefit of improving your general reading speed both on and off the computer.
- Read at 2X, 3X or even faster using this program. The more you practice the
- better you will get.
