How does 3-5 times the speed of the average good reader (400wpm) work out at 25,000wpm? Did you not take the photo-math module? You seem to have worked out the VAT correctly though which I would have thought was more tricky.

Hey John,

There is a distinct difference between a persons reading speed and a person photoreading speed.

What Carl is saying here is that your normal 'reading' speed will increase by 3 to 5 times and the photoreading speed is a page a second (roughly 25,000 words pm).

Help me understand the cost/benefit analysis here..

What is the loss of comprehension involved as a trade off with the extra speed of photoreading? Memory is a bit of a tricky phenomena in that there is little correlation between subjective confidence in a recall and the actual accuracy of it. So, in your method, how do you elimate the mismatch between the readers certainty of comprehension with the actual accuracy of comprehension? Otherwise people might just feel like they have greater recall which might be counter productive in an important situation. I wonder about these things because I have had false memories induced during hypnotic processes that I would stand up in court and swear happened except other people present knew were simply induced.

I think everybody should have at least two experiences like that before breakfast!

Do any of the PhotoReading teachers do demonstrations? I'd really like to see someone take a book they've never read before, read 25,000 words a minute and then tell me what's in the book.

I understand they wouldn't necessarily remember everything word for word. But if they could even tell me the key ideas and arguments in the book, I'd be really impressed by that.

Here's a photoreading demo.

See what wikipedia says about it:

PhotoReading - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm not usually one to rely on this oh so reliable site, but in this instance I doubt the info is false.

There is actually one known case of a photographic reader, Kim Peek who the movie Rain Man was based on. Kim can recall most of the contents of some 7,600 books. But, since nobody knows how Kim Peek does it, including himself, nobody can teach this skill to others.

Kim Peek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kim Peek is a sevant (I think thats how you spell it). He remembers everyting because he is unable to delete information. This causes him severe difficulties in pretty much every area of his life other than memory. His ability has nothing to do with photo reading

There are actually several known sevants in the world. Kim just happens to be the most well known

If you want a real way to give yourself an incredible memory, google "memory pegging". For the sqeamish, don't forget the "memory" part of the search lol

Yes there are savants but the unusual thing about Kim is that he also seems to be able to rearrange the information in novel ways rather than just dump it all verbatim like most savants. Being able to read two pages at the same time, one with each eye is pretty cool too!

By the way, the pegging thing really does work (new thread?) I did it myself about ten years ago and I can still remember everything I have ever pegged. It's only really useful for remembering lists of things, but it excels in this department. for example. you can quickly memorise a list of, lets say a hundred things and they don't even have to be in order. if someone asked what number 47 was on the list, that information is as easily accesible as what number 1 is on the list. I have freaked many people out with this, ha.

Yeah there are lots of good memory techniques including the peg system that have been documented way back to roman times hence one often being called the roman room technique etc. I use them to remember important things you should never write down such as passwords. They work great as long as you actually use them in advance during encoding not retrospectively!

I am surprised considering the length of time they have been around they certainly didn't get a mention when I was at school in england. They do I believe get taught in some countries. I attended a lecture by a dutch teacher once who was shocked that virtually no english people in the room has ever used them and assumed they were basic elementary school stuff that everybody knows!

I think it is a travesty that things like the peg system and NLP aren't taught in schools. It would revolutionise the whole of society. but then we couldn't charge so much for our services. In fact we couldn't charge anything. After all, what makes NLP so useful is the fact that most people have no idea it exists.

I don't think NLP should be taught in schools because as you well know most techniques are not universally applicable and consistent enough hence the absolutely necessary NLP maxim of "do something else if it isn't working." I think that might just confuse kids more as it requires a lot of flexibility, skill and experience to know when to do what. As you must have noticed, how many adult NLP practitioners can really use it well? I don't think thats a fair demand to put on children when most adults have difficulty to really get it. Also, it is hard to create an evidence base for it due to this inconsistency and required flexibility on the part of the practitioner. I don't think its fair to enforce any policy without a good evidence base.

Memory techniques on the other hand are very simple to grasp and consistently applicable to a very specific requirement i.e. remembering material. There is a very clear evidence base too. Considering they expect kids to remember so much at school I think its quite an unfair scenario to not give them the tools.

PhotoReading is a 5 step process which combines conscious and unconscious processing. The steps can be done sequentially or stand alone. The 'PhotoReading' element (step 3) is the process of taking a mental imprint of 25,000 words a minute.

After PhotoReading you activate the information which gives you the conscious understanding of the PhotoRead information.

John - There is no 'trade off' as you are actually utilising both hemispheres of your brain so you will have a greater comprehension of the material than normal reading.

Steven - I have read the study on wikipedia and am familiar with it. We have been teaching PhotoReading for many years and have a significant experience with the technique. It work. Most people's brains (with exceptions like Kim) function similarly (which is why NLP works) and if I can do it and hundreds of people that have come through our course can do it, chances are you can too.

The NLP Academy teaches more PhotoReading courses than anyone else in the UK and we have taught PhotoReading to the professors at Henley Management College, Oxbridge Group at Whitgift School the HR at Legal and General, the list goes on and Michael Carroll says he has never met anyone who hasn’t learnt to PhotoRead and as a consequence significantly improved their reading speed when they apply what they have learnt at the course to their everyday learning material.

At our last PhotoReading course I met a lady who was due to take a financial services exam in 4 days time. She had done no revision up to this point and came on the course in order to spend her time dedicated to using PhotoReading for preparing. Just over a week later this is what she emailed me.

"As you may know I attended your PhotoReading course last week with the intention of taking a Financial Services exam the following week...optimistic I know!

I sat the exam yesterday and as it is electronic based the result was available the same day....I passed!

So, my special thanks to Michael for the exam preparation guidance and to Bill for a very enjoyable and valuable course."

As it works for you, would you be willing to take part in a video documentary to test its effectiveness? I am doing a film production course at brighton film school and looking for an interesting topic for a short documentary to produce shortly after from september on. If it really works then it would be great for you and your company. You would be welcome to use it as a professionally made testimonial completely free. What I get from it is evidence of documentary making to build a portfolio. All the subjects should be people who have been through the training and consider themselves successful with it and feel confident in their abilities. People who don't think they have got it wouldn't be worth testing. Maybe the woman you mention would like to take part as she is very confident it works.

If the trial is successful then you would have a lot to gain from it and it will cost you nothing financially - just a little time. At that speed the reading part should be over quite quickly, should it not?

What do you say? Me paying all the financial costs must be a tempting offer? I have the cash already put aside for my first production.

Can you just clear something up for me. Is photoreading like taking a picture of the page so you an read it later or do you actually understand the words straight away?

If it's the former then how long does the picture last for before you lose the information?

It may be worth giving this a go if you can prove that it is more effective than that article on wikipedia says. As I said before, I certainly don't take whats on wikipedia as fact

I certainly would be very interested, do you have all the equipment for filming? We are in fact in Brighton for the whole month of August, is that where you are based?

A couple of things, firstly Michael will be doing a live demo on our Introduction to PhotoReading course in September so anyone else who would like to have an experience of PhotoReading and see it in action should take a look. It's on the 14th of September.

John - please send me an e-mail to davidh@realnlp.co.uk and we can discuss the details of this film further.

As I wrote in my previous post you PhotoRead (step 3) the information, you don't even try to consciously read the information - it all goes straight into the unconscious. You then use steps 4 and 5 afterward to process the information that has been taken in.

For an experience of it come to our Introduction to PhotoReading evening and answer these questions, not on my word, but through your own experience.

Some people have claimed that they can (in varying states of 'trance') actually see the page in front of them and read down it as if it were there. I have never experienced it to this extent myself.
