I know that title sounds like I'm being sponsored or something but I'm so impressed with this application of technology that is seems worth sharing
I heard about it and the demo was 250wpm-400wpm but they have since increased the web one to 600wpm. The average reading speed is 220wpm, I'm sure mine is much less. I find I stumble over words and have to take more time than I like so I quickly get bored, not with the subject but the act of reading can become tiresome quickly.
Spritz practically force feeds your eyeballs the information, it sounds crude and horrible but I really like the idea, I want the app to allow me to copy and paste a section of text and have a decent pause function and that is it, simple and elegant. Sadly not out on iOS yet so I can't actually play with it though
Give it a try and see how you get on:

my wife doesn't really like the idea and I'd imagine there will be a not insignificant amount of people that can't get on with the method but I was surprised how easily and naturally I took to it. I love audiobooks and have forced myself to read some ebooks recently but I'd be far more apt to do it if I can use this method, I also think I'd understand better as I'd not be thinking too much about my position on the page.
Anyway, what does the org think?
