Speed Reader Free Python Open Source Learning Utility
As
an auditory learner I wanted to learn quickly and retain the information
without spending a lot of time studying. I wanted to make this sort of
capability available to anyone. I found that listening to information I was
studying made me retain it much better than reading it. I also found that
speeding up the reading did not cause any further difficulty. With the Speed
Reader I can accomplish these goals and so can you! (if you are an auditory
learning) but give it a shot anyway :)
In college my now father in law was using a text to speech
program and talking about how he can listen to books at 500 WPM and recommended
it to me. It was a pivotal point in my education because I realized I could
listen & read a document at 500 words per minute and internalize the
information. I began to receive better grades and was able to get ‘A’ letter
grades on tests composed of 3 months of materials by listening for 2 hours. I
later wrote a speed reader for myself that I used for 10 years and now I felt
like it was time to write an updated version in python. I suggest trying it at
low speeds first, then increasing the speed as you feel comfortable. Start at
200, and increment by 25 each time you use it until you find that your level of
understanding is decreasing then take it slower till you reach 500 WPM.
I believe if you are
an auditory learning this tool can be massively helpful to you.
