<title>Auslogics Disk Defrag Pro 4 </title>
<description><![CDATA[<h3>Top Five Features:</h3>
<ol><li>	<b>Ultimate Performance Boost</b> - Software Review Boffin found that Disk Defrag Pro increased file access speed, meaning that just about everything on a PC will work faster.</li>
<li>	<b>Smart Defrag Algorithms</b>  - Thanks to 4 different algorithms for intelligent file placement, a users hard drive will always run at its top speed.</li>
<li>	<b>Boot-time Defrag</b> - Now with Disk Defrag Pro users are able to defrag every single file, including crucial system files that are normally locked by Windows.</li>
<li>	<b>Fragmentation Prevention</b> - Disk Defrag Pro not only defrags, but also can prevent further fragmentation by leaving free space after specified files.</li>
<li>	<b>Disk Cleanup And Checkup</b> - For faster and safer defragmentation, Software Review Boffin found that  users can set the program to remove temp files and check disks for errors.</li></ol>
<h3>Ease of Use:</h3>
<p>Very often Software Review Boffin finds that advanced system optimization utilities are difficult to use and designed for computer users. There are a lot of features that require expertise and even the use of command prompt. But we are pleased to say that's not the case with Auslogics Disk Defrag Pro. The program is very easy to use and all its features are easily accessible. And if you need any help, there is a detailed PDF user manual available on Auslogics' website.</p>
<h3>Speed and Performance:</h3>
<p>If you've ever used the Windows built-in defragmenter, then you would know that it can take hours for defragmentation to complete. One of the huge benefits of Auslogics Disk Defrag Pro is that it's very fast. That's because the tool uses special algorithms that allow to speed up the process without compromising the quality of defragmentation. This makes the tool very quick and very efficient at the same time. Software Review Boffin is impressed!!</p>
<h3>The top three reasons to choose Auslogics Disk Defrag Pro:</h3>
<ol><li>	<b>Multiple defrag algorithms</b>  - There are 4 disk optimization algorithms available for users to choose from. Use the Optimize by Access Time method when you wish for faster access to frequently used files. In order to speed up your system loading and application startup, simply  use the Optimize by Prefetch Layout algorithm. If you are just wanting  to reduce further file fragmentation, then choose Optimize by Change Time. And finally, the Optimize by Disk Zone algorithm allows users to manually specify which file types or even individual files should be written to the faster part of the disk.</li>
<li>	<b>Offline Defragmentation</b> - The new Offline Defragmentation engine makes it possible to defragment important system files that are normally locked and can't be moved while Windows is running. Offline Defragmentation is performed on system boot, before the operating system loads. It allows you to streamline the following system files: MFT files, Paging file, Hibernation file and Windows Registry files. Defragmenting system files will make your Windows more responsive, speed up system loading and overall performance.</li>
<li>	<b>Comprehensive Reports</b> - With new comprehensive reports in the Professional version, it is easy to track all of the operations performed by the program. Users are able to view the degree of file and free space fragmentation, size of the largest contiguous free space block available on their disk, and number of files processed during each operation. Users can also track the general condition of their disk and performance improvements through graphic charts. All reports can be viewed, printed and stored in a format convenient for them.</li></ol>
<h3>Help and Support:</h3>
<p>Auslogics Software is offering many support features, including FAQs, e-mail and phone facilities and other forms of help as and when needed. These mainly help to teach users more about the software to use it effectively as possible.</p>
<h3>License and price:</h3>
<p>Software Review Boffin  confirmed  that Auslogics Disk Defrag Pro has a 30-day free trial period. The trial is fully functional, so that customers will be able to use all the features of the program. The full license costs is valid for up to 3 PCs in your household.

<h3>Summary:</h3>
<p>Auslogics Disk Defrag Pro is a truly excellent defrag tool which incorporates a host of advanced features, and gives you in-depth control over the defrag process, yet remains generally very easy to use.</p> - by Auslogics Software Pty Ltd.]]></description>

<title>MasterYourMemory.com</title>
<description><![CDATA[<h3>Top Five Features</h3>

<p>MasterYourMemory.com is a memory improvement course written by "Dr. Amazing", a.k.a Dr Mike Teitelbaum, MD. It's stated goal is to help you with remembering everyday things like finding your keys, recalling names, and even warding off Alzheimer's disease.</p>

<p>It has been developed to be suitable for virtually any age and level, even if memory loss has already set in.
</p>
<p>Included in the package is both a book and accompanying software.
</p>
<p>Dr Mike Teitelbaum is a famous medical doctor and mentalist. He also lectures regularly on memory improvement and hypnosis subjects and his mentalist shows are highly regarded and very popular with audiences. Therefore this is a highly respected and trusted person who has authored this product.
</p>
<p>His memory improvement course at MasterYourMemory.com takes a different direction from most others, in that he injects some humor and fun into it. This light hearted approach actually makes the material more enjoyable and enticing to read, compared with a completely serious or technical plot. Surprisingly perhaps, it also makes it easier to remember what you've learned.
</p>
<h3>Ease of Use</h3>

<p>The book itself is considerably easier to read than many other in the niche. Rather than stray into technicalities, good humor is used throughout, as well as pictures. There are almost two dozen chapters in the book, many with interesting titles like the "Hook Method", and "Memory Distortion". But the basics are not forgotten, with entire sections dedicated to names and faces, material organization, mapping, dates, appointments, telephone numbers, and other practicalities which, when it comes down to it, are the areas that most people want to improve their memory in. Memorizing "an entire book" is not likely to be everyone's goal, but it's nice to consider that you're intended to come away from this course with that skill.
</p>
<h3>Help And Support</h3>

<p>There is a satisfaction guarantee that states if you don't improve your memory by at least 200% (how this is measured is somewhat subjective) within 56 days then you can request a refund via email.
</p>
<h3>Top Three Reasons To Choose MasterYourMemory</h3>

<ol><li> The product website states that you should start seeing results within only a few hours of beginning the training, and following that you should notice gradual changes and improvements in your recall power. This will relate directly, however, to the time spent doing the exercises.</li>

<li> As it is an eBook package, you can download the product immediately after payment, which is great for people who wish to get started right away.</li>

<li> One key claim worth mentioning is the point about being able to learn a new language in a matter of weeks. Whilst it usually takes people years to master a foreign language, Dr Amazing is confident that his techniques will ensure this most challenging of memory development skills is made easier. Does it work? Only several weeks of study with a core focus on learning a new language can answer that. Whether you will become a professional mentalist like the author is debatable, but ultimately, that is not going to be the aim of 99% of people taking the course.</li></ol>

<h3>Summary</h3>

<p>Dr. Mike Teitelbaum has put together a complete book and software package based on his own sound principals and techniques for enhancing memory and reversing memory loss. Although the techniques are quite different from those used in Ultimate Memory and Phenomenal Memory, some people may be more attracted to his more mainstream methods - however whether they are as effective as the considerably more researched and science-focused techniques of the other products is open to personal opinion and interpretation.</p> - by masteryourmemory.com]]></description>

<title>Ace Reader</title>
<description><![CDATA[<h3>Top Five Features</h3>

<p>Ace Reader Pro is considered once of the most advanced and sophisticated speed reading software solutions, and there is no doubt it lives up to this expectation. But does it outperform some of the other top options? In many areas it is equal, but it falls behind in a few key areas and as such, may not appeal to everyone searching for the ultimate speed reading solution.
</p>
<p>On the positive side, you'll find some very effective and intuitive features throughout the software. It is usable and will result in an increase in reading speed. Whether it does this as well as some of the more up to date and newer software packages is the big question.
</p>
<p>Although it has been recently updated with new capabilities like PDF upload, on the downside are problems like the inability to go back and give more attention to previous tasks or aspects of the software, due to the course having to be completed in a specific order. This may not bother most people, and the interactive games, drills and tests certainly have the capability to distract from this small downfall.
</p>
<p>It can also be disappointing to learn that Ace Reader does not give you 100% of the content that you'll need to complete the speed reading course. Rather, AceReaderPro gives you just half of the package, and the second package must be purchased separately with AceReader Deluxe. This can lead to a more expensive investment than one first expected or planned.
</p>
<p>There are also some add-ons which, instead of being included in the packages, are charged at $20 each.
</p>
<h3>Ease Of Use</h3>

<p>Ace Reader does lack some of the all ages friendliness of other speed reading software. It is targeted mostly at more mature students and adults so is likely not the best option for someone wishing to teach speed reading to younger children.
</p>
<h3>Help And Support</h3>
<p>Phone, email and fax details are provided for support. Also available on the Ace Reader website is a Quick Start Guide and full manuals, plus a very helpful FAQ.
</p>
<h3>Top Three Reasons To Choose Ace Reader
</h3>
<ol><li> Ace Reader has some quality capabilities when it comes to reporting. Students are easily able to see areas where some improvement is needed, as well as being able to intuitively track progress throughout the course. It is also possible to customize the speed to your own skill level and progress.
</li>
<li> Up to 20 minutes is needed per session for Ace Reader, which is a little more than is required for some of the other speed reading software. This can make it a little more difficult for busy people to fit into their schedule, but would suit those with ample leisure time.
</li>
<li> It is possible to tailor the software for classroom or tutorial environments for multiple users, however this is not available in the cheapest standard version.
</li></ol>
<h3>Summary</h3>

<p>Ace Reader is priced very well at under $70, however it also has less features than some of the top performing software.</p>

<p>This is a solid speed reading solution for those who do not require the most up to date software, or those who are not extremely serious about enhancing their speed reading as a major endeavour or goal. It is well suited to those who wish to hasten their reading for personal or hobby reasons and in that regard, Ace Reader performs quite well.</p> - by AceReader Speed Reading & Reading Improvement Software]]></description>

<title>EyeQ</title>
<description><![CDATA[<h3>Top Five Features</h3>

<p>EyeQ can be considered one of the absolute best speed reading software solutions, for good reason. It's a product that has been developed over 30 years and utilizes an intuitive interface, clear and concise graphics and easy to follow text.</p>

<p>Although it labels itself as more of a "brain enhancement" program, EyeQ focuses on reading speed in order to give feedback to the student and measure the effectiveness of the activities, and an increase of reading speed is the result of completing the lessons.</p>

<p>After going through the program, users should see an increase of double their regular reading speed. This is with just a small investment of time; namely doing exercises every other day to begin with.
</p>
<p>The goal of each session of EyeQ is to increase eye strength and push the user a little more out of their comfort zone each time. This results in stimulating the brain and improving technique gradually and as a result, improves the brain's processing time for thinking and reactions.
</p>
<p>EyeQ stands out from many other solutions as it also contains additional exercises like math games. This allows different parts of the brain to be exercised, resulting in an even, rounded increase in brain activity and reaction time.
</p>
<h3>Ease Of Use</h3>

<p>There are different settings in the software for children, teenagers and adults, allowing complete customization for skill level and age. Unlike some other software which only have a "one size fits all" setting for all ages, EyeQ is open and accessible to people of all ages.
</p>
<h3>Top Three Reasons To Choose EyeQ
</h3>
<ol><li> EyeQ has been built upon powerful scientific research and as such, if used correctly, it is virtually impossible for the user to fail at achieving the goal of increasing reading speed and enhancing stimulation of both sides of the brain.
</li>
<li> One of the big benefits of Eye Q is that it only requires a relatively small expense of time in order to get good results. It only requires the student to do a session every one or two days which lasts no longer than seven minutes. This is a minimum time expense but students can increase this if desired as time goes on.
</li>
<li> EyeQ is targeted at both home and corporate users. Businesses and managers are interested in using speed reading software to enhance the productivity of employees, and EyeQ has been smart to target this market as well. The software can track the progress of up to 10 people, making it an excellent resource for the family or small business, or in the classroom.
</li></ol>
<h3>Summary</h3>

<p>EyeQ is priced somewhat higher than most other advanced speed reading solutions at $249.99 for the deluxe edition, although a discount may be available at certain times. This price may turn some people off, considering you can get a slightly better solution in 7 Speed Reading. The features and interface of Eye Q certainly do warrant the price tag, but whether they are enough to out-do 7 Speed Reading for the price is doubtful.
</p>
<p>EyeQ is a popular and highly regarded program for people who are serious about learning speed reading. Its features and format are unmatched by virtually almost any other solution out there and it certainly deserves the high rating and positive reviews it has received.</p> - by Infinite Mind]]></description>

<title>Word Smart</title>
<description><![CDATA[<h3>Top Five Features</h3>

<p>There are many versions of Word Smart Vocabulary software targeted at different ages and aimed at being used for different outcomes and goals. These are:</p>
<p>Grade School Excellence</p>
<p>Middle School Excellence</p>
<p>High School Excellence</p>
<p>SAT & ACT Test Prep</p>
<p>Adult Learning Excellence</p>
<p>GRE & GMAT Test Prep</p>

<p>The High School Excellence edition has an aim of enabling the student to have a better chance of getting into the college of their choice, through enhancing the vocabulary and working to improve the SAT or ACT scores. Some adult students may like to also start with this edition, before moving on to some of the more advanced disks that are suitable for people all the way up to PhD level.
</p>
<p>There are over 10,000 pronounced words and 2800 definitions in the software plus about 400 core words. This >is significantly less than some of the other vocabulary solutions out there, namely Ultimate Vocabulary which has over 150,000 words.
</p>
<p>The flashcard exercise section is not as content rich as the multiple choice section, but is an excellent way to become familiar with new words and definitions.
</p>
<p>The column matching exercise is a basic strategy for matching a core word to the corresponding synonym. The Sentence Completion and Spelling Bee  sections are not only helpful, but inject some fun into the software. And the game-like Laser Review is an amusing Asteroids-style way of learning new definitions (fun for all ages!).
</p>
<h3>Ease Of Use</h3>

<p>There are some great aspects of Word Smart. It is very easy to use and has an excellent, clean interface. It only takes an investment of a few hours on a weekly basis to see fast improvements in your vocabulary.
</p>
<h3>Help And Support</h3>

<p>An extensive FAQ can be found on the official website. Patches and updates are also provided for customers, ensuring you always have the latest version. There is also a toll free phone number plus an email contact form for support.
</p>
<h3>Top Three Reasons To Choose Word Smart</h3>

<ol><li> There are many learning strategies included in each software version including:

<ul type="square"><li> Flash cards</li>
<li> Word matching</li>
<li> Games</li>
<li> Sentence completion</li>
<li> Multiple choice quizzes</li>
<li> Audio pronunciations</li>
</ul></li>
<li> The software tracks the student's progress automatically and only once a section is sufficiently passed can the next section be attempted.
</li>
<li> The main home screen begins with letting you select from the 5 learning modes. You can also monitor your progress from here and view the talking word list. The first multiple choice mode is a simple learning method, yet highly effective. Audio discussion is included after the correct word is identified.
</li></ol>
<h3>Summary</h3>

<p>Unlike some of the other vocabulary programs, Word Smart requires you to purchase the right software for your age, or for your child's age. This can result in an increased expense (each edition is priced at a whopping $214.99) and  as time goes on, if you choose to continue education. Rather than creating the software to scale to the person's age and skill level in one package, multiple packages will be needed. This is certainly one of the main downsides to Word Smart.
</p>
<p>Word Smart is an award winning vocabulary program for good reason. It has an easy to use interface that is suitable for almost all ages, provided the correct package is purchased. This, as mentioned, could be the main downside to this otherwise excellent set of learning tools.</p> - by WordSmart]]></description>

<title>Ultimate Spelling</title>
<description><![CDATA[<h3>Top Five Features</h3>

<p>One of the great points about Ultimate Spelling is that it has been developed to make spelling fun, rather than a drag, for children. They have specifically focused on creating a piece of software that actually makes kids want to learn, without it feeling like a chore or like homework.
They have completely done away with traditional classroom methods of learning spelling, in favor of much more lively and fun activities.
</p>
<p>There are over 140,000 words in the dictionary and thesaurus, making an extensive database that a child will never become tired of. 
</p>
<p>The dictionary is also very helpful as there are up to 6 examples of the usage of each and every word so children will get a real feel for practical usage, rather than just memorising the spelling. This also leads to increased vocabulary, in addition to basic spelling.
</p>
<p>The more than 20,000 audio pronunciations ensure that kids can listen to the exact way a word should be said from a real human voice.
</p>
<p>The software prepares kids for the spelling tests they will get at school and will put them in an advantageous position against other students who have not had this extra tuition at home. Ultimate Spelling is also an excellent trainer for spelling competitions and spelling bees.
</p>
<h3>Ease Of Use</h3>

<p>The graphical interface is simple and familiar. Children who have used a PC for any amount of time will instantly relate to the Windows-styled layout. The little spelling bee character adds a touch of fun, and the buttons and graphs are nice and large and easily readable.
</p>
<h3>Help And Support</h3>

<p>A dedicated support page is provided on the Ultimate Spelling website. They have an online help desk as well as phone support, so you have peace of mind that all your questions will be answered.
</p>
<h3>Top Three Reasons To Choose Ultimate Spelling
</h3>
<ol><li> There are 100 spelling tests that have been formulated specifically for each grade from 1 to 10. Each list has progressive levels within it for paced and personalised learning. There are 10 levels within each grade and it starts with very easy words and quickly works up to intermediate words and then on to more challenging words.</li>

<li> Dictation Cards are Ultimate Spelling's version of flash cards which display the word the student is attempting to learn, and the meaning of the word on the flip side of the card. 
</li>
<li> The spelling drills are particularly helpful and fun. There are three different types of drills (definition, sound and fusion drill which is a combination of both sound and definition), and the student gets immediate feedback when mistakes are made, as well as how to rectify the error. Students need to work out the right spelling before they can continue on with the drill and correct answers are always rewarded positively.
</li></ol>
<h3>Summary</h3>

<p>Ultimate Spelling is  highly engaging piece of software that also includes the excellent Word Messenger that runs in the background and randomly prompted of the definitions and spelling of words from your spelling list.

<title>Phenomenal Memory</title>
<description><![CDATA[<h3>Top Five Features</h3>

<p>Phenomenal Memory makes some pretty large claims at its ability to enhance your memory skills. One of these is the ability to teach you how to memorize entire books - this might sound unbelievable to some, but once you really start to understand how memory improvement works, it does not seem so implausible. In fact, Phenomenal Memory guarantees book memorization as a result of taking its program.</p>

<p>Phenomenal Memory makes use of some of the latest research into memory improvement. It does not dwell on repetition, associations or other traditional methods that are now thought to be ineffective. Instead the product incorporates an extensive 60 lesson course that covers recalling virtually any type of information that's fed into the brain (including entire books).</p>

<p>You won't find any mnemonic methods that don't work in this course. Instead, breakthrough methods of learning are put into practice but this doesn't include CD's, seminars or anything that you'd find in the old fashioned courses. The aim is to literally exercise the brain into becoming better at memorizing absolutely anything. Practice makes perfect, and this couldn't be more apt when it comes to memory enhancement.</p>

<p>The system lets you work at your own pace, as do all the top memory improvement courses. You don't end up feeling rushed or pressured, which is important if your mind is to remain clear and focused on the task at hand.</p>

<p>One interesting aspect is the focus on nutrition. Many people don't realize that what you eat can drastically affect your brain's functioning. Defiency in any one of many vitamins or minerals can really impact your memory. The fact that Phenomenal Memory also touches on this important subject shows that they have done extensive research into the entire spectrum of memory, from the ground up.</p>

<h3>Ease of Use</h3>
<p>The lessons are practical and enjoyable and the instructors are there to make sure that you stay on track throughout the entire course. This all happens within the Online Student Area.</p>

<h3>Help And Support</h3>

<p>A money back guarantee is offered on the program in good faith.</p>

<h3>Top Three Reasons To Choose Phenomenal Memory</h3>

<ol><li> Students gain access to 60 lessons which are accessible on the developer's website. The guarantee is that after completing all the lessons, you will be able to memorize anything from names and numbers, up to entire books. The minimum number of lessons that can be taken each week is three, although the maximum number per day is only one. This ensures that students don't rush through the material and have time to absorb each step.</li>

<li> The instructors are a critical part of this course, and you can rely on them to be there to watch that your progress remains steady the entire time. The Online Student Area provides easy access to this unique and dedicated resource.</li>

<li> There are 5 parts, and each part contains between 8 and 16 lessons. This starts with 12 lessons of Basic Training, then moves on to First Database, then Foreign Languages. The 4th part is Books and Complicated Texts and finally, 8 lessons of Codes and Passwords.</li></ol>

<h3>Summary</h3>

<p>Also included in the package is the Secrets of Phenomenal Memory. This is an eBook that previously was only available to School of Phenomenal Memory students, however now anyone can download it. So whilst you could get this as a standalone book, without the rest of the program its usefulness would be limited.</p>

<p>One of the downsides of Phenomenal Memory is that it's a single user only program, compared with some other solutions that allow multiple or even unlimited users, including tracking the progress of all users separately.</p> - by School of Phenomenal Memory]]></description>

<title>Ultimate Vocabulary</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Ultimate Vocabulary is without question the best vocabulary building software 
we have tried to date. It is an excellent choice for people wishing to enhance 
their vocabulary by being able to use words they may have only previously heard 
once or twice, and didn't really understand. You will also learn an extensive 
set of brand new words and meanings that will enhance your confidence, 
considerably improve your career and increase your writing skills as well. 
Ultimate Vocabulary is an excellent program overall, but we would like to see 
some improvements to the software settings interface (we found updating some 
user settings a little confusing initially, but it was ok once we got the knack 
of it).</p>


<p><strong>Top Five Features of Ultimate Vocabulary</strong></p>

<ol>

<li>
Highly accurate and comprehensive word database containing over 147,000 words.

</li>


<li>
Over 190 built in word lists to match every learning need. Ultimate Vocabulary 
has words for life success, exams, ESL, and multiple grade/university levels. 
They got these lists by researching over 120 vocabulary books and courses. This 
means that you can start studying an appropriate list and reaching your goal 
immediately.
	</li>

<li>
Ability to make custom lists. You can make your own lists and use all the 
features of the software (such as tests, activities, usage examples, etc.) on 
your own lists. It's easy to make your own lists using the software's built in 
147,000 word database.

</li>

<li>
Word Messenger. A really cool feature that reminds you of words as you work by 
putting a small message to the right of your screen at configured intervals.<br />
</li>
	<li>
	Activities, tests, progress tracking. The software has multiple features to 
	help you speed up the rate at which you learn new words.
</li>

</ol>
<strong>Ease of Use<br />
<br />
</strong>The graphical layout is impressive. For each word you can, with the click of the 
mouse, see word visualization, encyclopedia entries, images, rhymes, and even 
translation into one of the dozens of available languages.
The developers of the software have also paid close attention to providing 
extensive information on words - something that is so vital yet so often not 
given so much attention to detail in other software packages.
One downside is that this software is not yet available for Mac computers. That 
aside, it would be difficult to find a vocabulary learning program that is as 
extensive, detailed, intuitive and easy to use as Ultimate Vocabulary.

We would like to see some improvements to the software settings interface (we 
found updating user setting a little confusing initially, but it was ok once we 
got the knack of it). In particular it took us over 10 minutes to figure out how 
to delete a custom word list. This option is hidden in the settings but would be 
better placed on the word list tab.<br />
<br />
Overall, however, the software is very intuitive and easy to use.<br />
<br />
<p><strong>Help And Support </strong></p>
<p>Online help and support services are available for registered users from the 
publisher website. Apart from that, a help me file is available with the 
program.</p>
