Story

I have started to write a speed reading program in 2003 with Delphi and DirectX. Program was in Turkish. It was working only random meaningless characters.

Then after, I have decided to implement speed reading program on the web, on my web page aydos.net. I learned Flash's Action Script and some Javascript. And after a hard working I could publish it on the web. It supported Turkish and English vocabularies. Since I have vocabularies with meanings I had implemented a vocabulary test program also.

Even Turkish visitors like my web page aydos.net, it is complicated for international users. And a multilanguage system must be based on Unicode(UTF8). So I have decided to move another site dedicated only block reading system.

Book Review

The best book, I've ever seen, on speed reading!

I ran across an older version of this book years ago at a public library. At the time I had seen a few infomercials on speed reading so I decided to see if I could find a book on it. I did the initial drill and I was reading at exactly 240 words a minute, which is the average rate for a college student according to the book's graph. I went through the book and within 3 weeks I was reading at a rate of over 800 words a minute. The drills are tremendous. However, I got lazy and started putting it off. Like an athlete if you don't work out (drill) you will lose the speed. Speed reading is something I really regreted not sticking with years ago and I'm glad they through out this new edition (hardly changed, just some internet references). Within 3 weeks I've broken 1000 words a minute and I feel like I could have gotten so much more if I drilled myself harder. I've tried out Evelyn Wood's book and a photo reading book, but by far I consider this one the best. When you first learn to read with your finger it might seem strange, however with time you'll notice the speed skyrocketing and it will feel uncomfortable when you don't use it.
