Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This software aims to teach you speed-reading. The installation is fast, and AceReader Pro launches on your desktop in seconds. The small main window presents various drills and training sessions to test your skills. In one of the tests you read a text passage, then answer questions based on the contents. Another game displays some text within which you have to find specified words. A third drill flashes a word on the screen, then asks you to choose it from among four words. A flash-card game shows sentences about American state capitals, then asks you again to choose the correct one from four shown. The program's expert mode provides fine control over the test settings and lets you use your own reading-comprehension files, including PDFs and Microsoft Word documents. The only inconvenient thing about the program is you have to use the mouse to select the right answer, which can be slow or imprecise. In general, though, AceReader ought to help most people who want to read more quickly.Publisher's description

Version: AceReader Pro 5
Pros: GREAT

Version: AceReader Pro 5
Pros: I accidentally posted this under the Lite version, but I actually have the Pro version. Felt I should put this here in case Lite doesn't include all the drills, games, and tests.
This software has definitely helped me increase the number of words I read per minute. The tests are useful and I particularly like being able to paste e-books into the reader which allows me to practice while reading a story that interests me.
Customer service has always been outstanding. I had a problem (user error) when I initially tried to activate the paid version and received prompt and accurate assistance. Four years later after my laptop crashed and I didn't have a backup copy of the software, support at AceReader had me back up and reading almost minutes after I emailed them.
