Playing around with iReadFast, which I wrote up today for Macworld. It uses RSVP—showing words sequentially in one spot—so your eye doesn’t have to travel in order to read.
Fastest speed I can comprehend after about an hour of training is 625 WPM, and I’m wondering if I’ll go faster if I stick with it. But notably, when you blow the words up to three inches high, it’s damned easy to sit back and read.
Here’s what it looks like.
Interesting. Of course, the e-ink on devices such as the Kindle wouldn’t be able to display the words that fast.
Wow…that’s cool. Is the video 625 WPM? What is average normal reading speed?
As for the Kindle, fuggedaboudit. Turning pages is slow by normal standards. This strikes me more as an iPhone app for people with very little time…
Doesn’t work for me… doesn’t allow you to blink. How long could anyone keep up reading without blinking?
Tap the space bar, and you pause the output. With practice, you do it less and less. And I started at 300 WPM and worked my way up.
