This software offers speed reading, assessment and an online reader to improve reading skills using drills, games, and courses. Users can track their progress with comprehension tests, suitable for all grades, and read efficiently online with the online reader.
The AceReader Pro software offers three different modes of operation: Course Mode, Menu Mode, and Expert Mode. The Course Mode is a self-adjusting automated course that walks you through the training process. The Menu Mode gives you more control over the training activities by allowing you to pick and choose from a variety of options. The Expert Mode gives you full control by allowing you to load your own content and set the display mode and speed.
The software uses Tachistoscope technology to pace eye movement, which can help you break bad reading habits. The training activities include Timed Reading Comprehension Tests, Eye Pacing Drills, and fun Eye Exercise Games. With 13 different levels of reading material (grades 1-12 plus adult-level), the program automatically adjusts the training speed relative to your personal reading ability. The software logs and graphs results for accountability.
AceReader Pro has extensive administration and customization options. You can set font, colors, display modes, speeds, delays, bookmarks, column width, hotkeys, and more. With the Deluxe versions, you can even customize the Tests, Drills, and Games. There are four different versions of the software: (1) AceReader Pro (single user home edition), (2) AceReader Pro Deluxe (multi-user/family edition), (3) AceReader Pro Deluxe Plus (single station school edition), and (4) AceReader Pro Deluxe Network (network school edition).
