ZAP Reader Free Web Based Speed Reading Program

Improve your reading speed with ZAP Reader - via Lifehacker.

According to the developers:

ZAP Reader is a web based speed reading program that will change the way you read on your

computer. Current beta testers report reading twice as much in half the time—that's a 300% increase in reading speed, without any loss in comprehension! There is nothing to install, it works with most popular browsers, and it's totally free!

One of our favorite blogs, Lifehacker explains how ZAP Reader works:

...  you copy and paste text you'd like to get through quickly (ZAP Reader's default speed is 300 words per minute) into the Reader or use the ZAP Reader bookmarklet to load text selected on a web page and push play. ZAP Reader will throw words at you one at a time in quick succession (you can tweak speed and number of words on the Settings page), and you just sit back and take it in. After trying it out a few times, it does seem to pick up my speed a bit.
