Same here. I may not be classified as a “speed reader” but I read extremely fast compared to most.

“Same here. I may not be classified as a “speed reader” but I read extremely fast compared to most.”

my method is to scan a page vertically, taking in entire lines at a time, looking for the parts that matter, and then slowing down and more carefully studying the important parts ...

speed-reading is the main reason i don’t have the patience to watch most video clips ... the information content to time ratio is very poor in most cases (especially lecture type vids or pontificating type vids), plus there’s not a good way to speed past the parts that are BS, which in the case of most video clips is most of them ... two exceptions though: entertainment vids and vids that demonstrate practical matters, like showing how to take apart, repair, and reassemble things one has never repaired before ...
