Spirtz - Speed Reading software

Anyone see this over the past few days...

'Spritz—which is both the name of the technology and the verb for using it—streams text on your screen one word at a time, which, the company claims, allows your brain to comprehend it much more quickly and easily...



Spritz relies on something the company has dubbed the Optimal Recognition Point (ORP). Spritz claims your brain processes the information it's taking in once your eyes reach the ORP of a given word, and it’s trained to process the data as a complete, coherent thought once it reaches punctuation.'


Seems pretty slick. The website has a demo where you can mess with WPM, up to 600! http://www.spritzinc.com/

600 WPM was actually very easy. That's kinda cool.

I seem to remember reading about this idea a looong time ago.
