Spritz Speed Reading

For a long time, I thought speed reading was a joke.  That was before this morning, when I read Herman Melville's Typee in three-and-a-half hours, including breaks.  Here's what the app looks like at 250 words per minute (w/m):



It works in your browser.  You simply drag a bar onto your browser, find a website you want to read, and click on the bar. Here it is at 350 w/m:



And 500 w/m:



You can read any website at 450 w/m without logging in.  After an hour reading at 450 w/m, I logged in using Facebook in just a few seconds, relaxed a little, and read the rest of Typee at 630 w/m.  Go to http://spritzinc.com/ to check it out.
