This Insane New App Will Allow You To Read Novels In Under 90 Minutes

The reading game is about to change forever. Boston-based software developer Spritz has been in “stealth mode” for three years, tinkering with their program and leasing it out to different ebooks, apps, and other platforms.

Now, Spritz is about to go public with Samsung’s new line of wearable technology.

Other apps have offered up similar types of rapid serial visual presentation to enhance reading speed and convenience on mobile devices in the past.

However, what Spritz does differently (and brilliantly) is manipulate the format of the words to more appropriately line them up with the eye’s natural motion of reading.

The “Optimal Recognition Point” (ORP) is slightly left of the center of each word, and is the precise point at which our brain deciphers each jumble of letters.

The unique aspect of Spritz is that it identifies the ORP of each word, makes that letter red and presents all of the ORPs at the same space on the screen.

In this way, our eyes don’t move at all as we see the words, and we can therefore process information instantaneously rather than spend time decoding each word.

The game done changed. Try it for yourself.

[Hiphoplives4eva]

Kind of nifty, but can only be seriously used with leisure throw away novels.

I'll wait until they come out with an app that will read the book for me then give me a summary afterwards.

How so? you're still reading. Just at a fast pace.

I welcome this innovation.

This will mess the brain up and cause Kids to learn differently. A new form of dyslexia will come about watch.

 

[ExodusNirvana]

Interesting. But like someone said about I wouldn't recommend using this for studying for an important exam with complex concepts and shyt. I feel like the brain needs to go at it's own pace and cramming shyt in is counterproductive.

Stuff for leisure? Sure why not.

 

[Takerstani]

I want this, now.

It's partly based on how the brain already works. Of course it won't suit everyone. I'd have to see your findings though doc if you know anything for certain (joke). I'd be interested in trying it.

Wow I fukking need this. I read papers so much faster if I have a ruler underneath the line I'm reading. Too bad most of the textbooks/magazines I download are just picture scans =/
