Directions For Operation: 

• 1. To see and access the video controls, move your mouse onto, or touch the bottom of the video window.
   
• 2. Click on the Zoom icon in the lower right corner to expand the window.
   
• 3. Click on the Gear icon (just to the left of the Zoom icon) to adjust voice speed up or down.
   
• 4. Press the space bar on your keyboard to pause/continue sound.
   
• 5. Each time you press the left arrow key the presentation rewinds 5 seconds.
   
• 6. The PR book recordings are specially formatted to give you ample time to pause the sound each time a new section of text fully appears on the screen.
   
• 7. The PR book recordings are also specially formatted to enable you to pause at each comma, if you want, without loosing the sound of the next word or two when you continue the voice.
   
• 8. Pages turn automatically as long as you are in “Play” mode.
   
• 9. If you are reading the text out loud before hearing it spoken, as soon as the page turns (and not before), optionally press the space bar to stop the sound; this will give you a chance to see and read the text before continuing the sound.
   
• 10. When a book or other long text is presented on the screen, periods and semicolons in a paragraph are followed by extra space. This is done to keep the reader from being overwhelmed by too much text at a time and to provide necessary pause time after a sentence, etc. is read, before the next one starts to be read; and also to allow the reader to pause and think.
   
• 11. When you are finished a session of reading, note the elapsed time on a separate piece of paper. Then when you are ready to continue, click on the time slider until you are very close to your setting; then make fine adjustments to the time setting by pressing the forward and/or back arrow keys.
   
• 12. Because these videos open in a new tab, there is nothing for the back arrow to go to when you want to go somewhere else. So, to close the window, shrink the window if enlarged, and then click on the close circle; click x on the tab; click on a favorite; click on the double boxes and another window; retitle the current URL; or pick another bookmark.
   
• 13. Videos shrink in size when played back. For this reason they are best looked at with at least an iPad or tablet, or a laptop or desktop.
   
• 14. If you are looking at these videos on a phone, you may need to pay them (mirror them) onto a larger monitor or TV, using an HDMI cable or Apple TV. etc. You can also use a hand magnifier the size of the phone screen
   
• 15.The method of reading the PR Book Videos is as follows:
•    
• a. Start by reading out loud ahead of the computer voice; start by reading a phrase at a time, then a Punctuation Interval at a time, then a sentence at a time, and then a paragraph at a time; call for voice assist at any point.

• b. Re-read a second time, going faster; then choose a faster speed.
   
• c. Advance to reading silently with the Computer voice. Move up in speed only as you improve and are ready to go faster.
   
• d. Advance to reading silently ahead of the computer voice, pausing at the punctuation marks to think about what you have read and to let the sound catch up. Move up in speed only as you improve and are ready to go faster.
   
• e. Note On Speed: Speed 1 is normal speaking speed (160 WPM); this is grade level reading speed. Speed 1.5 is just above subvocalization (225 WPM). Speed 2 is College Level reading speed (325-350 WPM). You can also go slower than normal speaking voice, Speed 1, if necessary.
   
• f. Study the 14 Class Lessons (recorded or live) to learn how to master each of the above steps a-d.
   
• g. Book a private, 1on1 training session with our instructor for 20 minutes, as necessary.
   

Note on Using Apple Keyboard: On Apple devices, you can also control the movement of the video by the music pause/start key at the top of the keyboard. Using this key (instead of the space bar) will keep the white pause and play signs from repeatedly appearing in the text. Also, on iOS devices the video needs be operated using the music keys.
