This app has me more excited than a 5 year old at christmas. The implications and possibilities are huge. Im dyslexic and have the reading age of a 10 year old, but I can easily read 500wpm using this app which is supposed to be shipping with the gear 2 and s5. Check it out and see what you think.
Really ? You must think we are stupid. I wouldnt even click on the link.
User has an avatar, this must be legit.
Pretty thin! lol
If this is about "Spritz", then it might not revolutionise the way we read.
Just because it shows you individual words at various words-per-minute rates, and yes it is really fast, it doesn't mean that the readers comprehension is increased at the same or similar rate.
Ever read really quickly and realised you just read a whole paragraph or page but can't remember what you literally just read? You then re-read it. Reading words is not the same as comprehension of the text.
Then again, maybe it does work for some people. As you say, you are dyslexic - how much does it help you?
WowIowa, this is amazing. I would love to read a book with that.
So, basically it displays words in the same place so you don't have to move your eyes, highlights a central letter to keep your focus and breaks long words down to be more easily read. I'll admit, it is an easier way to read a sentence. Whether or not you'll be able to retain a novel at 500 wpm is another question. It does look like something I'd like to try though.
