You guys are going to love this... Has anyone seen or heard of this company Spritz ? This is absolutely amazing... You can take the test right on the home screen. I was actually able to read and comprehend the 600 wpm. How did you guys do?

    Hey Joe, I had a look at this a week ago. This is all great stuff, I can read and comprehend 900 wpm, but I don't think anyone is going to use this system in the long run.

    Maybe the next generation. But I like to take my time to read. I don't want the program to control my reading speed.

      Yea, should be interesting to see if it takes off. I personally think I would use it a lot. Especially for reading emails, technical white papers, blog reading, and of course reading books. But I do agree I would still read some books so I can take my time, highlight, look back, ect... I'm sure this will improve our overall speed and comprehension when reading normally as well though. Either way, looking forward to testing it out.

    This sounds interesting. I am visiting the site now. I will try it. I hope we could apply this also in reading normally because i honestly feel slow in reading maybe due to my eyes also.

      I like the idea and can keep up with it. The only thing is that sometimes I like to let my mind wander and imagination take over - spritz doesn't allow for that by the look of it.
      I'm sure it will be popular though. Great idea

      What did you read, and how much of it can you now recall? I have experimented with speed-reading software before, having run into spreader. com early on. I have found, as could be expected, that I can recall simpler readings read at high speeds more accurately than I can more complex reads at the same speed. I find it difficult to believe that one could successfully read everything at the same high speed (not singling you out with this last statement, just making an observation on use of the software in general).
