Review - Is Speed Reader-X a Scam?

From the previous review, I found that when compared to other speed reading courses, the online speed reading software from Speed Reader-X seems to be the most improved as it has undergone a few years of development and upgrades. It is also claimed to have been tweaked for training results over the past years. Now, let’s find out the truth as to whether this program is a scam or not by taking a closer look at what actual customers are saying.

I know there are testimonials on the product website, but I want to discover actual user comments over the Internet. After doing some research, I found there is quite a lot of customer feedback around (like the customer reviews on Amazon), below is an excerpt on what I have found:

Pros:

• "With 2 kids who has time to read? I do now!" — Portion of actual customer feedback on amazon.com
• "This is the same standard program as the more expensive ones. It works just as well for a fraction of the price. I have a copy of overpriced EyeQ that I am trying to get rid of…" — Portion of actual consumer review on amazon.com
• "I’ve studied speed reading for several years and overall I’ll agree with the good reviews that Speed Reader-X has" — Portion of user opinion on amazon.com
• "My 13 year old son loves it. He has always been a slow reader but the visual-reading system is something he really took to quickly. He actually enjoys reading now." — Portion of actual consumer report on freedownloadscenter.com
• "I like speed reader X, it’s nice to be able to load any text you want and read it in their program." — Portion of actual user comment from pmemory.com Forum
• "I thought it was a crock and was looking for a reason to slam it but after 2 weeks my reading speed has more than doubled. I wish I had tried it sooner." — Portion of actual buyer opinion from download.com
• "The software works in a similar way to EyeQ by hilighting words and phrases however the structure seemed much more, well structured." — Portion of user review on 4boxreviews.com

Cons:

• "The Mac version is buggy so if possible, stick with the Windows version" — Portion of actual consumer complaint on amazon.com
• "You can’t pause a quiz. That means if I get interrupted, I either have to ignore the interruption, or give up on the quiz." — Portion of consumer report on amazon.com
• "The actual speed reader x software works on pc and macosx, but the bonus disk only works with pc." — Portion of actual user complaint from download.com
• "The example story seems to end before the last lesson. I wanted to see how it turned out; fortunately the manual did have a link to the full story." — Portion of customer opinion on 4boxreviews.com

After looking into the actual feedback, it seems that the positive reviews written by actual customers strongly support the benefits of owning this product as advertised by the company who sells it, and it is definitely not a scam. I do have concerns about the complaints, but half of them can be solved by using the Online version instead of the CD version (which requires software installation on the user’s personal computer).
