Pros
Cons
Summary
Firewall stopped it from connecting to things through MSN messenger. Runs in background after you close it. Its not even very good - one word at a time doesnt help you read faster.
It's trains you by popping up the words in front of you

Cons
Summary
It moves the words in the speed of your option. It's quite effective so far. However, it only allows txt files. But it's ok, you can always copy and paste to notepad. Thanks to the author!
