Spritz

March 7 2014

Spritz is an app that presents texts as a 1-word rapid serial visual stream. They designed a reading frame that allows the reader to easily focus on the most critical letter of each word, elimination the need for constant eye movement from one word to the next, to the next…

They claim you can reach speeds of 900 words per minute, where 220 wpm is the average speed when reading the ‘classic’ way. That would mean that you can read through a thick novel in just 1,5 to 2 hours. Try it out:

250 words per minute

500 words per minute

Same as for Twitter and Facebook, this app comes with a new verb: spritzing. On some latitudes this might sound awkwardly familiar, and they seem to be aware of it:

FYI, there’s an open-source clone if you can’t wait to use it.
