Do you consider yourself a speed reader? Are you looking for ways to improve your reading speed? If so, there’s a website that can help you do just that. Spreed News allows you to use the Spreed interface to read your news faster than ever before.

Spreed : News, is a revolution in reading in itself. For the past two years the Spreed team has been researching an area of Cognitive Psychology called Eye Science. From this research they have develop a number of algorithms that take into account grammar, syntax and personal reading patterns. These algorithms make up the patented Spreed Reader which has been used in Spreed : News to help people read their daily news at speeds they never thought possible and with an overall increase in comprehension.

You can practice speed reading when you’re away from the desktop using this. I’ve never seen anything like this, at least not in a Web experience. In college, I took a speed reading elective. I learned a bit about how to improve my comprehension. It’s far easier for me to grasp when I was reading things I wanted to read, and am interested in. By letting you subscribe to your own RSS feeds, Spreed is doing just that. You’re improving your skills by reading what it is YOU want to read.
