[0002] Technical Field

[0003] The invention relates to an application that enables individuals to learn speed-reading technique step by step.

[0004] State of Art

[0005] Speed-reading techniques are methods developed to comprehend and process texts in a faster and more efficient manner. These techniques have a variety of benefits.

[0006] Time-saving: Speed-reading allows you to read and comprehend texts faster. This saves you time as you can receive the same amount of information in a shorter amount of time.

[0007] Increased efficiency: Speed-reading enables you to acquire more information with less effort. This accelerates your learning process and enhances your efficiency.

[0008] Enhanced concentration and focus skills: Speed-reading techniques are designed to enhance focusing and attention. Thusly, you can better concentrate on texts and reduce distractions.

[0009] Improved memory: Speed-reading techniques encourage processing and comprehending information faster. This potentially leads to longer retention of learned knowledge.

[0010] Enhanced reading enjoyment: Speed-reading provides the skill to read texts more fluently. This makes the reading experience more enjoyable. Better performance in exams and tests: Speed-reading can help process large amounts of information, such as textbooks and notes, in a shorter time for students, thereby contributing to better preparation for exams.

[0011] Professional advantage: Speed-reading skills may be advantageous in professions with high information flow (e.g., lawyers, doctors, researchers). The style of understanding of individuals varies according to their style of learning. Therefore, personality assessment tests are initially conducted in the most detailed manner. Additionally, students with low visual learning are detected and exercises are conducted to increase visual learning.

[0012] Speed-reading involves developing eye muscles to quickly transmit words to the brain, thereby understanding texts in much shorter periods. The speed-reading method, which can be performed by any literate person, through expanding the field of vision and recognizing words through their shapes, enables finishing pages of books within minutes. It also offers solutions to focusing and comprehension problems during reading.

[0013] The invention relates to an application that has been developed to teach the aforementioned advantages to individuals and enables individuals to learn speed-reading step by step.

[0029] Important stages for the completion of learning in the brain's working system are as follows:

[0030] 1 . Words not to say to the brain

[0031] 2. Procrastination method

[0032] 3. Framing method

[0033] 4. Explaining to the brain

[0034] The speed-reading technique application has various techniques to enable people to learn through different techniques.

[0035] The first technique is the eye-speed technique. The Eye-Speed technique is the basis and most important technique of all speed-reading techniques. It is very important to adapt one's eyes as this is the basis for all other techniques. This method will enable an individual to quickly understand and catch the whole text along with the important points on any page. With this technique, reading by understanding the whole text is reinforced. The application initially presents an individual with a few exercises for ignoring the "inner voice" that we habitually have while reading and then enables the practice of the same over the screen with underlined texts. Then, the application brings the texts to the individual with the block technique to ensure the reading of words as a group of three to ten words instead of one by one.

[0036] In the block-by-block technique texts, reading is done by looking at the middle of the boxes with grouped words therein through jumping of the eyes.

[0037] In the texts with a dot, it is aimed that the eyes be based on the dot while jumping, but to be released a little. Each text is read three times, then the questions are provided and individuals are asked to solve these questions. This method will enable an individual to quickly understand and catch the whole text along with the important points on any page. With this technique, reading by understanding the whole text is reinforced.

[0038] Up-and-down technique: The application will ask the individual to read a text by scanning the page several times with his eyes from top to bottom and vice versa. On the first page, the text is divided into small parts. Until the student's eyes adjust, he can divide the page being read into smaller parts. On the following pages, he is asked to read the whole text at once, first with a narrower angle and then with a wider angle. (The lines on the page are drawn at these angles.) The same text is given as unlined and the individual is asked to perform reading with the same technique. Each page is read three times, then the questions are provided and individuals are asked to solve these questions. This method will enable an individual to quickly understand and catch the whole text along with the important points on any page. With this technique, reading by understanding the whole text is reinforced.

[0039] The beginning-and-end technique is a form of reading in which our eyes quickly scan the words at the beginning and the end of a line. The words of focus are the words at the beginning and the end of the line, but as we get used to the technique, our eyes will start to catch all the words in the line. The application asks to run the eyes between the colored boxes in the first text. The first text is read merely to train the eyes. In the second text, the words at the beginning and the end of the line are marked in yellow, and the student is asked to quickly run his eyes between the boxes based on these words. The same text is given as unmarked and the individual is asked to perform reading with the same method. The places of the words marked in the third text are shuffled. And this is the shuffled beginning-and-end technique. In this text, the student is asked to run his eyes between the same-colored boxes. This method will enable an individual to quickly understand and catch the whole text along with the important points on any page. The unmarked version of the same text will be read in the form of a shuffled beginning-end technique. This method will enable an individual to quickly understand and catch the whole text along with the important points on any page. With this technique, reading by understanding the whole text is reinforced.

[0040] Snake and S techniques are the readings made by rolling the eyes among the lines. It is one of the techniques that is closest to the eye-speed technique among the advanced techniques and ensures significant success in reading speed. The application first provides the texts of the Snake technique. On the first page indicated by arrows, the person is asked to read the text by dividing it into small parts and to move his eyes among the lines like the curling of a snake. On the second page, the person is required to read the text by dividing the text into paragraphs. The student is asked to increase the number of lines he is expected to see. The person's eyes curl among lines, seeing three or five of them at once. The same text is given as unlined and the individual is asked to perform reading with the same technique.

[0041] Each text is read two times. And then, the texts of the S technique are given. The differences between this technique and the Snake technique are that the text is read by drawing an "S" letter on the page with the eyes and a wider eye movement is made. The text is first divided into small parts, then into paragraphs, and then the whole page at once. The person is asked to read twice, based on the lines, but without having to stick to each one. The unlined version of the same text is read twice with the same technique. After reading the texts of both techniques, questions are given. The student who expressed that he could not understand the text when he drew a single "S" on the whole page may be asked to go around the page a few times with the Snake technique until his eyes got used to it but to increase the number of lines he sees a little each time. This method will enable an individual to quickly understand and catch the whole text along with the important points on any page. With this technique, reading by understanding the whole text is reinforced.

[0042] Z technique is the reading done by drawing a “Z” letter on the page with the eyes. Like the teaching of other techniques, Z technique texts are also read first in small parts, then in paragraphs, and finally, the whole page at once, based on lines. The unlined version of the same text is also read with the same technique and it is thusly practiced. There are two different styles of reading a whole page in a text file. Since the texts in one of them are larger and the page is wider, the whole page is written in a smaller area with a smaller amount of text, since it is not possible to capture all the words with a single Z movement. After all the texts are read three times, the questions are given. This method will enable an individual to quickly understand and catch the whole text along with the important points on any page. With this technique, reading by understanding the whole text is reinforced.

[0043] The scanning technique is a reading technique that starts from the middle of the first line in the text and is performed by dragging the eye downwards almost at the same level. The text in the scanning technique is divided into smaller parts on the first page and into paragraphs on the second page. The student is asked to move his eyes rapidly downwards based on the points in the text, but without having to stick to each one. The point-free and color-free version of the same text is also read with the same technique. Each text is read three times. This method will enable an individual to quickly understand and catch the whole text along with the important points on any page. With this technique, reading by understanding the whole text is reinforced.

[0044] The technique of seeing the whole: By choosing the smallest rectangular line as the focus point in the text, the eyes should be squinted a little and focus on the words in the text, just like the camera transitions from blurry to focus. This method will enable an individual to quickly understand and catch the whole text along with the important points on any page. With this technique, reading by understanding the whole text is reinforced. The text was prepared first to be read as small parts, then as paragraphs, and then as a whole at once. The reading of the whole text exists in two different forms. In one of these, two whole texts are placed side by side; and in the other one, a whole text is placed in a smaller area in the middle of the page. (The second form has been prepared to avoid confusion when the two texts are placed side by side.)

[0045] In the technique of seeing the whole, you can read by opening your eyes from the inside out or from the outside in. It should feel as if you are coming out of a tunnel while reading from the inside out, and feel as if you are entering into a tunnel while reading from the outside in. You can apply either or both of reading by opening your eyes from the inside out or from the outside in. The technique of seeing the whole is the easiest one. It is a technique that combines all other techniques.

[0046] The technique of simultaneously seeing two pages whole is to look at two side-by-side pages at the same time and take a photo of them. Applications for the technique of seeing the whole are also valid. This method will enable an individual to quickly understand and catch the whole text along with the important points on any page. With this technique, reading by understanding the whole text is reinforced.

[0047] During the speed-reading technique, the events in a book being read can be coded into the memory simultaneously. Firstly, the brain determines the subjects to be memorized in memory, and such subjects are divided into rooms, cabinets, and even drawers. This structure is imaginatively organized. The first technique for coding is to animate the reading material as if it is the characters in a movie and to convert them into a movie scenario while reading through imagination, and transferring them to the relevant section in their memory simultaneously. The second technique is to code the interpretation or summary in mind while speed-reading simultaneously, for example, the content is turned into a funny story by resembling it to something else and to transfer it to the relevant section in their memory. In this way, the whole text can be memorized while reading.

[0048] The style of understanding of individuals varies according to their style of learning. Therefore, personality assessment tests are initially conducted in a very detailed manner. Additionally, students with low visual learning are detected and exercises are conducted to increase visual learning. Exercise: It is trying to memorize the views of an object from the right, left, front, back, above, and below, closing the eyes, imagining them in order, and trying to describe them in detail. It may not be easy to see at first due to people's low visual perception, but they will see it after waiting for a while and focusing. In this way, their visual perception enhances in a very short time. Choosing a different image every day will increase the potential.

[0049] Students with low auditory learning are also given the following exercise. It is aimed to increase the potential of listening to their teachers or someone in their daily lives in their school life, therefore people with strong communication are asked to hear the voice of their loved ones in their right ear, left ear, face, and behind by closing their eyes, without visualizing the loved person.

[0050] It may not be easy to hear at first due to people's low auditory perception, but they will hear it after waiting for a while and focusing. It is beneficial to change the person whose voice they want to hear every day.

[0051] In order not to risk the training, where there may be difficulties due to the fact that teachers are usually auditory in tactile narration techniques; if the tactile learning style is more dominant than the other learning styles, the other styles can be enhanced quickly with plenty of exercise.

[0052] While performing the tests, the attention and focus levels of the person are observed. Increasing attention and focus by increasing hand exercise at varying times and days depending on these levels contributes to education significantly. Because SPEED = UNDERSTANDING = FOCUS = ATTENTION, these are directly proportional.

[0053] Hand exercise: The writing hand is opened and the top of the middle finger is focused on, during this exercise, it is necessary not to think of anything and remain motionless, as the goal is to increase attention. While silently counting to thirty, the hands are slowly closed, and when it is thirty, they will be completely closed. Then you should remain still by looking at the middle finger of the closed hand and start opening it while silently counting to thirty. When it is thirty, the hand will be completely opened. This exercise should be done in ten sets every day. One opening-closing cycle is one set. The number should be increased by five seconds every two days. The best aspect of this system is that, with this education (with homework-free education for everyone from the second day from an instructor's point of view), every literate person can finish as of the second semester of the first grade of primary school (including those with dyslexia) and understand the fifty-hundred-page books; and also with advanced speed-reading techniques, it is possible to finish fifty-hundred-page books by understanding and even memorizing in one to ten minutes.

[0054] TYPES OF UNDERSTANDING:

[0055] Auditory person: It is a person who, while speed-reading, hears his understanding as a voice in his mind and may vary as directly perceiving the text as a voice in his mind or indirectly as an interpretation. It could be either or both.

[0056] Visual person: While speed-reading, he automatically memorizes the text as a visual image. This may vary as directly perceiving the text as a visual in his mind or indirectly by interpreting the visual. It could be either or both.

[0057] Tactile person: While speed-reading, he automatically understands and interprets what he reads as a feeling, without being able to describe exactly where the feeling is coming from and how.

[0058] They have the potential to use one or all of these three types of understanding.
