@batlin ic, I started with 150-180wpm, and am at around 350-400wpm now with easy to average material. Right now, I'm pairing speed drills with comprehension drills and am finding it pretty good.
I've use that type of reading programs before, and was able to do around 5 words at a time no problem, except I couldn't do it for more than 2 - 3 mins at a time because it strains the eyes as it's on a computer screen flashing. I find it much better to practice on real paper.

@kooritsuki I meant, literally what speed did you have before you started, and what do you achieve now?
Re: the reading program, yes it's as you described it. I actually find it (usually) comfortable to read blocks of 3 words at a time, but I leave it set at 280-300wpm because my comprehension gets bad beyond that. Had to add rewind/forward buttons for when it happens.

@batlin As with the program you developed, I'm not sure how yours work, but there are several computer programs out there trying to improve reading speed for people, but I find them generally ineffective as most of them flashes words/phrases/paragraphs on the monitor, and all it does was just irritates the eyes instead of helping, imo.

@batlin I'm not sure of your question. I'm talking about speeds prior to speed reading exercises and after. Obviously, comprehension will be compromised if you practice only speed. But a good speed reading program should have exercises on both speed and retention; otherwise, there's really no point. I still think it's achievable.

@kooritsuki What before and after speeds are you talking about? Believe me, I would like to believe it more than anyone - I even wrote a rapid serial visual presentation program to experiment with reading bigger blocks of words. But until there is decent evidence that speed can go up (above even 400-500wpm) without damaging comprehension, we just have lots and lots of "it made me 3/4/5/10 faster, trust me!" claims.
I really do want speed reading to work, but so far the evidence is poor :/

@batlin I'm not sure about photoreading, but I do know that many techniques that they teach in speed reading does improve your reading speed to at least 3-4 times faster, if not more. I've recently began a 36 chapter book on rapid reading, and after 6 chapters, I've already doubled my speed. So I think it is "possible." Whether his particular teaching method is effective or not, I'm not sure, but many people who do practice speed reading do read that fast with great comprehension.

Yes I've heard of it and I don't see any proof at all that it works, nevermind being "100x better".
Do you have something real to add, other than just "xyz is 100x better" and a thumbs down for me?
