Speed reading
Paste your text into this website. Supposedly it trains you to silence your reading-out-loud voice and allows you to read faster. Not sure how well you absorb the information though.

This one demonstrates the idea better, but I don't think you can submit your own text. |

I thought speed reading courses involved the practice of visualizing increasingly large blocks of text.
Good readers don't read one word at a time, they visualize a group of words, a phrase, a sentence or a larger block of text that can be processed by the brain instantaneously. Exceptional speed readers visualize an entire page like a snapshot and are able to process/internalize the content. You don't see Evelyn Wood advertised much anymore. |
