Speed-reading is a highly sought after skill.  Thousands of people have purchased books and taken online courses in the hopes of finding ways to consume text more quickly.  While some do improve their abilities, just as many never significantly increase their reading speed.  Speed-reading methods work differently for each individual and are dependent on hours of practice, meaning that there are never any guarantees with these methods.  However, a new technology startup has researched a new way to help people read faster.  This cool product, named Spritz, uses technology and science to speed up the way people consume text automatically.  Spritz “streams” written content one word at a time at a predetermined pace, which avoids the time consuming nature of moving one’s eyes over different lines of text.  It sounds simple, but the process has proven to be successful for many people.  Even better, it requires no extra training or special methods that require extensive practice.  Anyone interested in using Spritz who has difficulty installing new applications on their computer should call computer tech support for help.

Spritz’s research into why traditional reading takes the time it does had them conclude that each word a person reads has an “Optimal Recognition Point”.  This point is a specific letter in a word that people’s eyes focus on when their brain processes its meaning. Part of what Spritz does as it streams words is that it keeps the “ORP” of every word front and center for readers.  The company claims that this feature allows people to process words as quickly as humanly possible before moving to the next one.

The other major advantage of this cool product according to the company is that it requires so little screen real estate.  Since the software only streams words one at a time, the actual space needed for “spritzing” easily fits on a tablet, smartphone or even a smartwatch.  While the size of mobile devices constricts traditional reading and can be uncomfortable for many people, Spritz is right at home in the world of mobile applications and widgets.

Spritz also has a developer program, which licenses their technology to other companies who want to utilize spritzing in their software.  The startup provides toolsets for Android, iOS, and JavaScript developers who want to make use of this cool product.  Companies will need to have strong business IT support to deal with any troubles when integrating Spritz’s technology into their products.  By licensing their technology, this new startup aims to gain further exposure for their concept and get it into the public eye as much as possible.
