Spritzing or how to read really fast

When we’re reading normal text, the eye seeks a certain point within the word, which is called the Optimal Recognition Point, or ORP. After your eyes find the ORP, your brain starts to process the meaning of the word that you’re viewing. Your eyes then move to find the next ORP.

Apparently, when reading, only around 20% of your time is spent processing content. The remaining 80% is spent physically moving your eyes from word to word and scanning for the next ORP.

Imagine and app that gives you text with the ORP at the point where you’re already looking, so you can read without moving your eyes. This app is spritz, and its method of faster reading is called spritzing.

Try Spritz at 250 words per minute (focus on the red letter):
spritz1

Try Spritz at 350 words per minute:
spritz2

Try Spritz at 500 words per minute:
spritz3

Summing-up: spritzing is quite fun and it seems to work. If you need to read faster, this app can help you. There are also extensions for Chrome and Firefox.
