READ/LX 1.0 is now available at www.dasoft.com. READ/LX 1.0 is actually two programs in one: a "speed reader" that displays words of a text at the same spot one after the other, which allows higher reading speeds than with "normal" methods (where your eyes move from word to word), and a "horizontal reader", which is cabable of displaying text using a huge font. Many new features in this version such as bookmarks, file selection dialog (using PICK.EXE), and text search. Copyrighted freeware.

Original Release text

READ/LX is a copyrighted freeware program that lets you read an ASCII text "on spot". This means that each word of the text is displayed for a short while in the same position on the screen. There are claims that this facilites much faster reading because the eyes don't have to move across the screen to follow the words all the time.
