[Fists] out loud spelling program

[Will]

I don't know of any such "high tech" methods, but if I don't miss the mark completely, I would think that you could read a bunch of text, letter by letter, character by character, into a tape recorder, and play this back. You might worry that you would quickly memorize the text, but I don't think so. You should choose material that is dry and unfamiliar, and I think you would find each 10 minute or so chunck would be good for at least 3 or 4 sessions before it becomes too familiar. I learned the code itself by recording the output of a computer code trainer on micro cassettes and listening to them at every opportunity, much of it plain text. Worked very well for me. When I get serious about raising my code speed, I do plan to use the method I outline above, as I too see the problem in finding someone to spell-read out loud.

I have been reading the advice from several source on how to improve code
speed.  Nearly all of them mention a technique whereby a friend reads text
to you by spelling it to you at a particular pace, there by training the
mind to quickly put together words from the letters.  However, finding a
friend with the mutual time and interest to do this could be quite
difficult.  Does any one know of text to speech computer software that
might
be able to do this?  This would surely be a big help.
