RapidReader® PRO is a patented software that can immediately multiply on-screen reading speed anytime the user chooses. It's ideal for speeding through Pdfs, web pages, e-mails and more on computers or mobile phone screens.
SoftOlogy IdeaWorks today announced the release of its new flagship software, RapidReader® PRO. This unique, patented software gives users the option of immediately multiplying their onscreen reading speed anytime they want. RapidReader PRO runs directly from within the most widely used applications and includes support for PDF, web pages, MS Word and Outlook e-mail. Users will typically be reading 3x faster than average in the few minutes that it takes to view the brief tutorial. This is a new kind of speed reading software that uses the power of the computer to save time whenever there’s “must do” reading for work or school.
“In the office, on average, 60% of each person's time is now spent processing documents.”

“$25,000. The amount that an executive earning $60,000 a year is being paid just to read.”

“For a business with 1000 employees, $1.8 million a year is wasted just in people opening e-mails they didn’t need to read.”

The average reading speed on a computer is about 100 words per minute. With RapidReader, it takes just one click to go from reading in the traditional manner to immediately reading several hundred words per minute on a PC or Mobile Phone. RapidReader’s stated design goal was to be a new kind of tool that’s available whenever it’s needed to deal with the electronic "information overload" that's become a fact of modern life.
“Most of us do two kinds of reading,” Says Peter McIan CEO of SoftOlogy IdeaWorks, “One is reading for pleasure, savoring the enjoyment of a good book in your favorite chair. The other is reading for purpose. That’s the kind of reading you need to do for work, your profession or for school in order to keep up. And that’s where RapidReader comes in. With this software, you can get through the reading you have to do in a fraction of the time it used to take.”
Built upon the patented RapidReader engine, RapidReader PRO is designed specifically for professionals, business people, researchers, journalists, students and anyone who has to read great amounts of material on a daily basis. It makes short work of reading PDFs, web pages and mountains of e-mail.
How does RapidReader work? Based on research at Johns Hopkins, it increases reading speed by turning traditional reading into something very much like watching a movie. The reader selects any speed between 100 and 950 words per minute. The software then does the work of reading while the user sits back and simply watches the screen. Unlike speed reading courses, RapidReader requires no training or practice. “It’s like a cross between a document viewer and a video player. One click on the RapidReader button transforms a static document, web page or batch of e-mails into an fast, easy, comfortable reading experience.” says McIan
Perhaps one of the biggest benefits lies in the combination of RapidReader PRO and RapidReader for mobile devices. Typically, reading speed on the limited real estate of the small screen is about 40 words per minute. Now, the user can convert a large PDF with RapidReader PRO on the PC and then send it to a Palm or Symbian Mobile. There, RapidReader Mobile takes over. RapidReader Mobile transforms the normal “squinting and scrolling” thumb exercise into a large font, hands-free reading experience. The result is that the user can easily read several hundred words per minute comfortably on the mobile screen. This ease of use expands the value of mobilizing documents for all kinds of organizations, where “just-in-time” information is required for their remote workforce.
“RapidReader isn’t for all the reading you do," Says McIan. "It’s simply a new tool that does what you’d expect any software to do. Allow you to use your computer to accomplish a daily task easier and faster. In this case that happens to be the reading you need to get through as quickly as possible.”
