Fast reading application of the Readme: 90 minutes after reading Harry Potter

iphone speed Reading application Readme Beijing time June 24 Morning News, fast reading has been born more than half a century, but a new iphone application named Readme! has brought this technology into the digital age, to help users browse e-books faster. readme! allows users to adjust their reading speed by 50 to 1000 words per minute. Pierre Diavisoo, the developer of the app, said: "It's designed to get people to read Harry Potter books within 1.5 hours and still fully understand the content of the book," Pierre Diaiviso. The app is open to global downloads for $1.99. The user can select an ebook in the application, and when the speed-reading technology is turned on, a word is displayed each time. This application does not support the built-in sharing limit of e-books. Spritz, a developer of the app, says that in a few minutes, most readers can raise the reading speed by as much as 400 to 450 words per minute without lowering their understanding. For thousands of of years, there has been no substantial change in reading. The focus of the speed-reading technique is still to scan text from left to right. Spritz CEO Frank Waldman (Frank Waldman) said. He added that the technology integrates rapid Sequence Vision presentation (RSVP) with eye research, presenting words at an ideal point of recognition so users can quickly understand the content. As people begin to read information on small devices and even smart watches, spritz will be a more convenient way to read, says Waldman. But a study at the University of California, San Diego, suggests that the level of understanding of content may be less than normal reading, because it is difficult to review the previous content to make it clear. While the study did not contain spritz technology, it found that the understanding achieved using RSVP technology decreased by about 25%. But Scott adds that if people simply want to browse the content quickly, the application may indeed benefit. If people just want to look at the text, and passively digest the content, perhaps you can do so. It's like a tedious job, you don't have to do too much. But if you want to get more nutrients, maybe you should be Sabet Scott your eyeballs to read the text, says Elizabeth Schotter, who participates in the study. Diaiviso admits that speed reading is not suitable for all reading modes. If I were to look at some atomic physics or anything else, I'm afraid I couldn't get as much information through the speed reading. He said. Spritz also developed an application called Spritzlet for all Web browsers, which makes it easy for users to read Web pages quickly. Other fast-reading applications also use Spritz technology.
