I always do. I can't turn it off. I "hear" the words rather than saying them.

My top reading speed is about 900wpm, so it can't be slowing me down that much. When I read very quickly I only hear bits and pieces of each word though.

Did you measure your WPM online? If so, where?

Also, doesn't your reading speed differ from book to book.
