Can I really triple my reading speed?
The average person reads around 200 words per minute(wpm). It is not unrealistic
to double or triple your speed after mastering the first 3 lessons. Individual
results vary and results depend on the amount of effort you put into
it. The beauty of the program is that you can practice anytime you read
a newspaper, magazine, or book. Once you complete the short practice
lesson, you can practice on everything you read. All you have to do is
try and that is easy since you are reading daily anyway.
Where can I find more information on Speed Reading or Comprehension?
See this article on Speed Reading. This article was prepared
for a number of parenting magazines so you may see it published elsewhere. Some common speed reading myths are debunked in this article.

What is the difference between the online and CD-ROM version?
You can find details about Speed Reader-X online plus the Ultra Mind comprehension/memory training on the Speed Reader-X Online page. You can find details about the CD version on the CD page.
The online course gives you instant access without waiting for a CD.
The online version works with MacOSX, Linux, Windows, and other operating systems.
The online system also includes links to all of the eBooks from the free eBook disk instead of a physical DVD.
The CD version of Speed Reader X does not require internet access and does not expire. The online subscription lasts for one year.
The CD versions of both programs include a few additional exercises.
Both are excellent choices. You only have to decide if you want to start immediately with the online system or if you want to wait for the CD-ROM version to be delivered.
Which should I get, the online or CD Version?
For both Speed Reader-X and the UltraMind Improvement Studio, if you have a Windows computer, we recommend the CD version. It includes the bonus DVD plus additional reading material and bonus features and content.
If you have an operating system other than windows, or if you are unsure you will receive a package shipped to you(such as some countries with unreliable mail systems), or if you want to start immediately and not wait for a CD in the mail, select the online option.
I am having trouble ordering, Help ?

How do I install the CD software?
When you insert the CD in your computer, it should open a menu
automatically If it does not start automatically, simply open My Computer,
double click on your CD/DVD Drive and double click autorun.exe or start.exe.
The Online version does not require any installation. Simply login to your account using the username and password that were emailed to you.
Does the software teach Comprehension?
Speed Reader-X teaches speed techniques which must be learned first. The UltraMind system teaches comprehension and can be used by itself for normal reading or after Speed Reader-X for speed reading comprehension.
The Online Training System includes both Comprehension and Memory training Classes. These are full classes which include audio instruction. They are suitable for both speed readers and non-speed readers to improve memory and comprehension. The memory and comprehension classes are two separate classes and are both included in the Ultra Mind Improvement Studio.
I am having trouble installing the CD software, what do I do?
A good fix-all solution is to reboot your computer. This will clear out any software or any operating system problems that have occurred. Try re-installing the software again.
Where can I find more details and screen shots of the software ?
We have screen shots on the Software page along with an explanation of each page.
Who can benefit from Speed Reader X®?
Speed Reader X® is for everyone. It has been tested with children age 8 and up as well as adults. Younger children should have strong reading skills usually, however, this is not always a requirement. Some young children immediately take to the methods taught in Speed Reader-X and find them easier than normal reading. Slow readers can benefit from speed reading techniques. Even fast readers can learn techniques to become faster and improve their understanding.
Does Speed Reader X® include eye exercises?
Our research showed that the eye coordination exercises were not useful for exercising the eye.
However, they are useful for focus and concentration immediately before a practice session. Suitable exercises are included and shown before each lesson. We also provide a modernized tachioscope exercise center which allows you to load your own material and read it using a tachioscope system. This is an exercise that will train your brain to recognize words at extremely high speeds.
If you or your child plays video games, then you both already have the eye movement
skills needed. If you drive a car, use a computer, play tennis, or participate
in any other visual activity, and you have healthy eyes, you do not need to watch long exercises. The visual benefits of speed reading are a result of widening
your field of vision, not exercising the eye. Our software is designed to make
full and efficient use of your time. There are no eye exercises that are just there to kill time and make you feel like you are doing something. The exercises we include are strategic and designed to help you achieve results. We have designed the training system
to teach speed reading without unnecessary filler.
Is there a fixed schedule I must follow?
No, our system does not restrict you to one session per day or any similar
limitations. It is designed for everyone to follow at his or her own pace.
You can use the system when you have time during the day. You can complete
as many lessons as you wish or as few as you have time for. You can repeat
lessons as many times as you need to. The Practice section allows you
to practice at your own pace even if you choose to go faster or slower
than the pre-set lessons.
Can my children use the software or only me?
Speed Reader-X(CD-ROM) has settings for Child and Adult reading levels. Each family member can create his or her own login which allows that member to keep his or her scores separate from other family members. Everyone has his own section, his own progress chart, and his own login to the software.
The Online version also allows each family member to create his or her own login to track progress.
Will I receive follow up sales calls or emails for other products?
NO! Never! We will not now or ever make any sales calls to your phone number. We only ask for a phone number to verify your credit card if there is a problem making the charge or a question about the order. We do not believe in out-call telemarketing. It is a form of harassment and we will never call you at home for the purpose of selling you anything. If you do not want to receive calls from any telemarketer, you should sign up at the National Do Not Call Registry to prevent most telemarketers from harassing you at home. Any bonus or special offers we make will be sent by regular mail to your postal mail box. We will not harass you by phone and we will not spam you.
How do I access the eBooks on the Bonus Disk?
Insert the disk in your computer's DVD drive. Make sure you have a DVD drive and not a CD drive. The DVD should automatically start, but if it does not, simply open your DVD drive from My Computer and double click on the index.html file. Follow the directions. The files are compressed in order to fit as many as possible on the DVD. If you need to unzip the compressed files we recommend the Evaluation version of WinZip at winzip.com
If you are using the online system, click the Home link in the upper right corner of the member page after you select the Speed Reader-X member site, then you will see the link on that page.
How do I listen to the eBooks on my computer?
You can use the Microsoft® Text-To-Speech feature. For instructions and to download your free copy visit THIS link This program will not only read the supplied eBooks but will read aloud almost any text document or webpage. You can also listen to the ebooks on your MP3 player. Many MP3 Players support text-speech. You can also right click on a .txt file after installing the Microsoft® Text-To-Speech feature and select the option to turn it into an audio book. You can find additional voices for the reader on Microsoft's web site.
I can read the program disk but not the eBook disk, or I am having trouble reading a specific disk?
The software disk is a CD-ROM and will be readable by any CD or DVD computer drive that is in proper working order. The eBook DVD is in DVD format and cannot be read on older CD-ROM only drives. You must use a DVD computer drive to read the DVD disk. Most modern computers include a combo drive that will read both CD and DVD formats. If you are certain you have a DVD capable drive but still cannot read a disk, try reading the disk on another computer or laptop. If it still does not read, contact us and we will gladly arrange for a replacement.
Can I use the Speed Reader-X® CD-ROM on my Mac? On my Windows system?
