Technology has finally caught up to satisfy our reading fancy. The new app Spritz makes its debut on Samsung Galaxy S5 and the Gear 2 Smartwatch in April. It’s new technology that will allow users to read as many as 1,000 words per minute by streaming a single word at a time and highlighting at least one alphabet in a different color. No kidding! This writer saw the demo on NBC “Today” show and I think I love it.
The reading technology makes it possible for users to read the words so quickly because their eyes are focused on that single word which is optimally placed on the screen.
According to their press statement: “Spritz is uniquely designed for small screens. The technology removes the inconvenience of scrolling, swiping, squinting and pinching to read on your devices by streaming individual words, one by one, at the user’s desired speed. Developed and tested for over three years with deep roots in science and data, Spritz enables the brain to focus on each word, promoting faster reading speeds and higher information retention rates.”
“We’re reinventing the way people read by eliminating the obstacles associated with traditional reading on mobile devices,” says co-founder and CEO Frank Waldman. “As smart devices continue to change shape and become increasingly smaller, Spritz enables users to read comfortably and conveniently. Our technology can be used to read emails, text messages, social media streams, maps or web content and can be integrated onto any mobile device – the options are almost limitless. Reading has never been easier, more efficient or more effective.”
