Static text blocks like the one you are looking for there are now an outdated and inefficient to get the words in your head shape . That’s the boot argument Spritz based in Boston , which has developed a text box that displays speed reading no more than 13 characters at a time. Words of Spritz Case of intensity flashes in rapid succession so you do not have to move your eyes around a page, and in my tests very quickly which allowed me to read more than twice my normal reading pace . Spritz has partnered with Samsung to integrate its functionality speed reading with the upcoming smartphone Galaxy S5 .
The written word , after 8,000 years or so , is still a very effective way to get a message from a mind in the mind of others. But even with the advent of the digital age and decades of usability , font design and development , we are still far from optimal efficiency with it yet.
Take this article – I’ve written in easily digestible pieces , and we have presented in Nice, thin , 10 to 14 columns of words that should make it easy to scan . But pay attention to what your eyes are doing while you try to read it. Chances are, even if you ‘re a fast reader , your eyes are jumping around all over the place .
In fact , the company based in Boston Spritz , you spend as little as 20 percent of their time reading being taken in the words you are looking at, and as much as 80 percent physically move your eyes around to find the exact spot to read every word . So , the team decided Spritz , why not eliminate the whole time?
The reader Spritz is a simple little box, transmitting the text in the reader, one word at a time. The words are presented in a large font , easy reading, and centerd around the “point of optimal recognition ” of each word. In fact , the picture only shows a maximum of 13 characters , so the larger words are broken.
What is really interesting is how quickly the system can pipe information in your brain. I did a couple of speed tests of reading online and found my average reading speed of regular text blocks is around 330-350 words per minute. But I can comfortably go one Spritz box to a maximum of 500 words per minute without losing much , lose focus or feel any eyestrain. For short periods I still 800 words per minute , and the team says it’s easy to train to go faster and retain more .
