The following list shows how you would use WebSpeedReader in common situations to browse, read, search, solve problems, and save time. (This document will be expanded shortly.)
Situation: you read the news and check the weather everyday, check financial information and stock quotes every weekday, read movie reviews and get movie showtimes on Friday, before the big weekend. Since you do these things periodically, with WebSpeedReader, you would download each of these pages in the background by clicking on each link on the WebSpeedReader Start page which consists of all of your favorites all on 1 page. And because WebSpeedReader downloads clicked links in the background, you can click on 1 link after another. You don't have to click on a link, wait until the page loads, then click on another favorite and wait for that to load, and so on. Instead, now that you have clicked on all of your favorite links, you simply select Next, either by clicking on the rightmost toolbar (a yellow arrow pointing right on a black background) or by pressing F12 on the keyboard. This takes you to the next document that is fully loaded. So lets say that's the news. Most news sites consist of a front page with all of the headlines with summaries. The first thing you do is schedule the page for daily download by selecting Schedule on the menu, and Daily on the submenu. Then you look at what headlines you're interested in. meanwhile your other links are continuing to download as you read, graphics and all. You see numerous stories that you are interested in. Again you click on 1 link after another, and those links start to download in the background. Now you move to the next loaded document, which is the weather page, and even though its full of graphics and frames, it comes up INSTANTLY, which is as fast as it can possibly be! A thousand years form now, people still won't be getting web pages faster than that! Then you go to the next document, and that, too, is displayed instantly, which is your stock quotes. First, you schedule the page for every weekday. Then you see some news headlines that you're interested in, and again, you click on 1 link after another, then you move to the next instant web page. And so on for the rest of the documents. Then another day comes, and you start up WebSpeedReader again. But this time, it will be even easier, because now you can download all of the scheduled pages by clicking on the special link Download Scheduled Web Pages on the Start page. You can also select it from the menu (Navigation - Download Scheduled Web Pages) or have them loaded automatically at startup (Tools - WebSpeedReader Options). So pages scheduled daily will be loaded everyday, weekday will be loaded Monday through Friday, and if it's Friday, then your movie showtimes and reviews will also be downloaded automatically, and so on. Note that you never have to worry about running out of memory, no matter how many links you click or how many pages you schedule, because WebSpeedReader only uses so many windows, which you can specify (just select Tools on the menu, then WebSpeedReader Options). If you have more links, whether scheduled or clicked, than you have windows, then WebSpeedReader will save those links in a queue, and as you read each page and move on to the next, WebSpeedReader will re-use the window of the just read page, and download another document. This will continue until you have read everything. But wait, what if you don't have time to read all of those documents? No problem. Just close WebSpeedReader, then next time you can click on the special link Load Unread Web Pages on the Start page, and all of those links will be reloaded. You can also have them load automatically on startup (Tools - WebSpeedReader Options).
Fixing computer software problems. You're working on your computer, and you load a program that you use frequently, but this time it displays an error message, Error 1919. The dialog box has a description, but it's as cryptic as Error 1919, and it has no solution. What can you do, besides panic? Load up the search page, type Error 1919 into the search box, them click Microsoft search. This is a special Google search that searches not only Microsoft, but related sites. Most of the time, these searches will solve your problem, and you will certainly have a much better understanding of it. Many times problems arise because an important dll is missing. For instance, one user reported missing DMICT32.DLL. Searching for this dll resulted in several locations where the file could be downloaded. Often you will have to browse through numerous pages to find the best information, but this is easy in WebSpeedReader. As you look through the search results, you can click on every link that will seem helpful, with each page downloading in the background as you continue reading. Then you can quickly go from one page to the next until you find a solution to your problem.
Reading Articles Divided into Several Sections. Oftentimes you will come across an article divided into several sections. This is done to increase page hits for the website, thereby increasing ad revenue for the owner, at the great inconvenience of the reader. There are 2 ways that you can read these types of documents. If the page has a table of contents, then you can click on each link to load all of them. You'll probably have other documents that are queued before the other parts of the article, but I think you will find it is usually no problem to read the other sections later. Once you get to the 2nd section, then the others will follow sequentially. However, if you want to read all of the sections together, including the 1st section, then you can shift-click each of the links, thereby forcing them to load right away in background windows, rather than being queued for download. After that, continue reading the 1st section. When you are finished with the 1st section, then select the Window submenu, which lists all of the document titles that are currently loaded. Click on the 2nd section of the article, which will take you directly to that document, then just select Next as you normally would to read the remaining sections.
Typing in Multiple URLs. Sometimes you will learn about websites from reading printed materials. If you have more than 1, then you can press CTRL+M to bring up the multiple-URL dialog box. If the URLs begin with www. and end with .com, then you only need to type in the main URL. WebSpeedReader will add the prefix and suffix automatically. When you enter 1 URL, press ENTER to begin downloading the page in the background. The dialog box stays open, where you can type in 1 URL after another, with each one downloading in the background. When you are finished, simply press ENTER without anything in the text box, or click Cancel to close the dialog box, then simply select Next to start reading the documents. If you only have 1 URL to type in, then press CTRL+O to open the dialog box to enter a single URL. This box will close automatically after you press ENTER, just as in Internet Explorer.
