How to use HotGato
Bump up the font size, sit back, and relax your eyes. Do not try to read, just try to relax. Your brain will pull the words in all by itself.
When getting used to this sort of reading, use one or two paragraphs, start at 300 wpm, and reread it until you get the hang of it. It might take a few tries, but it will click for you and become easy. After that you can start experimenting with speed, chunk size, and punctuation pauses.
Everyone has different preferences for their settings, so once you found something comfortable, add new text and see what you can do!
