Why Listening is Better Than Reading

The University of Regensburg has thoroughly tested Voice Reader in a user study. It clearly showed that use of Voice Reader reduces the processing time for texts and noticeably increases text comprehension: our ability to take things in by listening is 29% higher than by reading. The best results were achieved by experimentees who read and listened to a text simultaneously. Here the improvement compared with those who just read the text was an impressive 44%.

Our recommendation:

If you really want to maximize your understanding of a text, have it read out to you by Voice Reader while you are reading it. Maximum convenience is ensured with the adjustable reading tempo and synchronized text highlighting.
