SpidiRead 2007 is a program that, according to its creators, will increase your reading speed by 2, 3 or even 10 times. That might be a bit exaggerated, but the method is quite effective. It teaches the user’s eyes to move faster when reading, and the brain to process information more rapidly while maintaining high level of comprehension. SpidiRead 2007 also helps improve one’s memory and concentration skills.
The course recommends to exercise 30 minutes a day for 2 weeks. It contains 60 lessons and 3 tests to evaluate your progress in speed reading. SpidiRead 2007 doesn’t offer that many texts (about 80), but it does allow to add your own materials. There are more than 30 training tasks developed to improve students’ coordination between the eyes and the brain, and to strengthen eyeball muscles. While most of the speed reading features are pretty standard, there is one that we find unique. It’s SpidiRead’s memory training set with the series of uncommon exercises and games.
Minimum system requirements are:
• 20 MB of available hard disk space
• Windows 98/2000/XP/Vista
• Pentium III 450 Mhz or higher
Even though the program is very easy to use and install, and even beginners shouldn’t have any problems, SpidiRead 2007 offers customer support in case you do need assistance. However, the only contact option available is email.
This is the cheapest speed reading course that we are aware of. Although it offers a certain amount of quality for the price, the software is definitely lacking convenience. The interface is nowhere close to our top choices for speed reading methods.
I totally agree with this review
It appears that the author(s) of this software are not from English speaking backgrounds and the readings contain many grammatical, spelling and punctuation errors. Additionally, there are some quite glaring issues with the UI.
Notwithstanding the above, it’s possible still reasonable value for the price.
