Spritz has developed a speed-reading text box. It shows no
more than 13 characters at one time. This box flashes words in such a way that
you do not have to move your eyes like you do when you read a page of a
physical book. Sounds interesting, doesn't it? Well, what it does is, it
increases your reading speed and doubles your usual pace.
It has teamed up with the smartphone giant Samsung to integrate
its speed reading functionality with the latter’s upcoming Galaxy S5. The written
word, even after 8,000 years of discovery is a very effective way of
communication. Moreover, it is an effective way to get one message from one
mind to the minds of others. However, we haven’t yet reached the level where we
have optimized the benefit of the same.
According to Boston-based start up Spritz, you spend as
little as 20 percent of your reading time actually taking in the words you’re
looking at, and as much as 80 percent physically moving your eyes around to
find the right spot to read each word from. What Spritz has done is, it has
decided to get rid of that time and have your eyes focus on one spot.
The Spritz reader is a small box which streams one word at
a time to the reader. The words are presented in a way which is easy to read. The
fonts are reader friendly. The words are presented in such a way that the optimal
recognition point of each word is recognized. The box shows only 13 characters
at the most. This is done with an intention to break up larger words.
