Flash 1.2 - is a Newton program that helps you improve your reading rate & comprehension. Flash provides a variety of exercises that users can use to improve their reading habits. Flash includes on-line help which explains speed reading concepts and how to use the program. Flash will "flash" words, letters, or pages of books (will automatically open and scroll user installed Newton books). You have a variety of control over the flashing of words or letters and can also specify the rate at which books scroll. While there are several desktop applications that will allow you to learn and practice these techniques, the Newton's "go anywhere" form factor and the ability to use your own Newton books makes this software unique.
