Learn to race through books with this speed-reading training app

TL;DR: As of August 21, you can get the ZapReader Speed-Reading: Lifetime Subscription for just $39.99 instead of $499 — that’s a 91% discount.

If you’re returning to school or starting a new position that requires some training, you might notice just how long it can take to read something. The average adult reading speed is about 238 words per minute. If you’ve got a text of a few hundred pages to get through, that’s a pretty big time sink, but it may not have to be. Reading is a skill like any other, and you may be able to become a faster reader without losing comprehension. 

ZapReader Speed-Reading is an app that could help you become a speed reader by giving you access to expert courses, and tools, and helping you track your progress. It’s available for only $39.99 during our Back to Education sale now through August 24.

Become a speed reader

By giving you access to a toolset and expert instruction, this app is designed to help you improve your reading speed faster than you would on your own. 

In practice, what you get with ZapReader are six expert courses, training exercises, a cloud library to store your eBooks, and the speed e-reader. The e-reader itself is compatible with Windows 7 or later and macOS 10.6 or later, and it comes loaded with tools that could help you improve your reading skills and become a speed reader. Those tools include text flash, text highlighter, horizontal text, a scroller, an eye movement tracker, and a pace trainer, among others. As you train yourself, you can also track your progress with analytic tools that report on your reading speed, training focus, and training time. All of this may be made even easier because you should be able to use almost any e-Book for your speed reader training. The e-reader can read 46 different files and e-book formats, so grab a favorite and hit the books!
