Product Description

AceReader Pro includes Tests, Drills, and Games designed to assess and improve your reading skills. The program allows you to have the level of control that suits your needs. It includes three methods of operation: Course Mode, Menu Mode, and Expert Mode. The Course Mode leads you through a self-adjusting and personalized training process. The Menu Mode lets you pick-and-choose from a menu list of training activities. The Expert Mode allows you to have full control by letting you load your own material from the clipboard or documents (i.e. Web pages, e-mails, .pdf files, .doc files) and letting you manually set the display modes and speed settings.

5.0 out of 5 stars IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PROGRAM THAT REALLY WORKS, THIS IS IT!, January 31, 2009

I am 68 years old, retired and already an avid reader but I want to increase my reading speed and this program AceReader Pro is doing it. The first week I was able to substantially increase my reading speed while maintaining a high level of comprehension and I'm confident that I can at least double my reading speed by continuing to use this program. It took me some time to get familiar with all the program features, but the program is easy to use. The games are challenging but fun to play. I am especially impressed with the "Expert Mode" which allows me to load e-books and other documents from my computer into the Expert Mode, customize the display (color, size, content), set the desired reading speed and more. I highly recommend this program to anyone (young or old) that wants to improve their reading skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Software & Excellent Customer Service!, March 23, 2011

This review is from: AceReader Pro (CD-ROM)

My wife and I purchased AceReader Pro Deluxe back in 2002. We were so immediately impressed with its potential that we purchased copies for some family members. In a short time after using AceReader, our reading speeds had easily doubled and our reading comprehension had improved as well. It has helped me overcome two common problems that slow most people down, "subvocalization" and "regression".

The Deluxe version allows and keeps track of multiple users. The AceReader website has 30-day Demo versions and many add-ons for the AceReader software. We also purchased the American History and Earth & Space Science test sets, along with the Text-To-Speech add-ons.

We have kept our AceReader current throughout the past nine years. We now have AceReader Pro Deluxe 7, the most recent version.

The customer service is EXCELLENT! We've tried many speed reading programs over the years. AceReader is really the best and has no competition. But as great as AceReader is, it's the wonderful customer service that keeps us coming back!

My twelve year old requested this product and loves it. He practices and times his comprehension and speed each day. Great way to encourage more reading for pleasure!
