!!!Atari Speed Reading CX4126 (C) 1981 Atari, Inc. ; please use with BASIC cartridge. !!Introduction: Atari Speed Reading is not just another Voice & Data program from Atari. It is the(!) template how a Voice & Data cassette has to be digitized. Peter Dell and Stefan Meyer had made a masterpiece here, showing us, how this can be done. First, we have a marvelous recording with the best parameters, which made the standard for recording Atari cassettes. Second, we have a manual in a top condition to quickly and easy find entries for the users and third, we have here an incredible good separation of the Voice & Data layers for further needs. !!Abstract: Do it yourself self paced program, in only 30 days of practice you can increase your Reading, Speed and Comprehension. 8 Workbook units / lessons with 6 Elements in each unit (Warm-Up Exercise / Phrase-Reading Exercise / Paced and Timed Readings / New Techniques / Flexible Reading / Reading Progress Graph, also includes Voice-over Audio track which provides encouragement and instructions while the programs are loading. Requires an Atari Joystick, 410 or 1010 cassette recorder and the Atari BASIC cartridge. Ages 15 - adult. Requires 16K RAM.

With Audacity it is possible to separate the 2 layers. For Atari users with a Mac, this is important, because the emulator Atari800MacX in version 4.6.0 from Mark Grebe is not ready to read in wav-files. Mark will take a look at that, when he has finished his PhD. Up to that time the Mac users must have that separation in order to use Voice & Data cassettes. !!Images: [{Image src='Atari_Speed_Reading_CX4126.jpg' width=600 height=800 }] Atari Speed Reading CX4126 \\ \\
