Has anyone try the "EyeQ" or any other computer program to help read faster? And if so, has it work?
Thanks

i've heard that they don't improve your retention abilities, which are more important than your speed-reading abilities.

I have the eyeQ cd. It can improve your reading speed, but it takes about a month to complete the course. You can't just use the program for a week and expect to see a difference.

one trick i picked up is to move your finger across the page as you read. if you move your finger at a fast pace, and continue to move it as you make your way down the page, the amount of time lost to drifting to reread sections is decreased. i practiced and i increased my reading speed by 40% in a few days, with about the same retention.

i think i've heard EyeQ only improves how fast your eyes can scan words on a page. that this software utilizes lessons that only exercise the eye (follow the dots flying across the monitor). it sounds a bit gimmicky, but i'd be more interested if it were super effective. i want to mega speed read like Howard Berg.
