Spritz Inc. has developed a new speed reading program that would help users read up to 1,000 words per minute with zero eye movement.
An individual's average reading rate is about 200 words per minute, but one can go more than that through techniques like, skimming, reading out loud, or taking mental snapshots. However, it will take them time and great effort.
The program, which has been in development for three years, is aimed to manipulate the text word format to limit the reader's eye movement, hasten reading, and shorten the time of information processing in the brain. One can read five times faster the usual. It flashes one word at a time, giving emphasis on the words' "Optimal Recognition Point (ORP)" by using a red font color and by aligning those words in a central point, ABC News reported.
