Thanks for the great write up on ReadSpeeder. I would also like to point out that any text that can be copied and pasted can be added to ReadSpeeder. And ReadSpeeder can be used in both a manual mode where you directly control when to advance the phrases, or in a ‘Play’ mode for hands-free reading.
