If you need to improve your reading speed, you can fight alone. Doing something yourself is not so easy and time consuming. Do you need help, but where can you find it? The folks at St. Louis University have developed a program that helps you speed up your reading speed by presenting groups of words in sequence. This useful application is called tachistoscope (or quick viewer).

Read Acceleration Machine works with hotkeys (keyboard shortcuts) and its interface is minimalistic. However, the user interface is clean and even novice PC users will have no difficulty learning how to use this program. Let’s take a closer look at what it can do.

You can use the program to study vocabulary, view text files (it allows you to select a file), proofread large files sequentially, and even memorize texts by repeating them over and over again.

You can change the speed at which word groups are displayed, so don’t worry if the default speed is too fast for you. Language learners can learn to read and understand lexical phrases by constantly seeing them on their computer screen.

The software also helps people read faster. The program can read and display text from plain text files (not Microsoft Word). If documents contain lines separated by carriage returns, the software may display the lines randomly or in cycles.

Program management is relatively simple. You are using a set of custom keyboard shortcuts. Buttons and menu items are also present. You can hide the control panel and change the font color, font family, and even the window color. Visually impaired people can adjust text size and color for perfect reading.

Read Acceleration Machine (RAM) is a free program that can help people memorize texts, increase their reading speed, and learn a language through repetition. This is a small tool that is quite simple.

It doesn’t have the advanced features of Memorize Anything and ByKi, but it’s not designed for learning languages ​​from scratch either. This is a simple program that displays lines of text randomly or sequentially to help you read and remember them faster.
