Be Excellent To Each Other

We did a test in bits and bobs recently iirc, and but... http://elitedaily.com/news/technology/t ... 0-minutes/

That's very fucking cool.

Wow, I'm actually impressed. The 500wpm one is a bit tricky, but 350wpm was no issue at all.

I'm impressed but it's very intense isn't it? I don't think it would suit a relaxing read at poolside on holiday.

Indeed. Plus you aren't in the control of the software. You want to stop reading? WELL YOU FUCKING CAN'T! READ FASTER! REEEEEAAAADDDDDD!!!!!!

It just doesn't really work that well for me. I can understand the gist of what it's saying at 350 wpm but that's about it. I miss some words and the order of others often feels jumbled. So I could maybe imagine reading news reports like this but not a novel where someone has taken great care over every word. I'd no more want to read a good book like this than I would want to watch a film at twice normal speed, even though I could probably still understand most of it. It's definitely interesting, though.

350wpm was a little tricky first time around, then I did the 500wpm, and going back to the 350wpm it was super easy.
The 500wpm was difficult to start with, but I stopped trying to read the words and did what it said and relaxed and just looked, and it worked incredibly well.

I found that the more I relaxed and stopped trying to read the 500wpm bit, the more I actually could.

I didn't have any problems aside from when they started using their brand as a verb.

Would not want to read like that, mind.

It probably helps that the paragraph keeps repeating so you know what words to expect.

Click the Spritz button in the top right, crank it up to 600wpm and be amazed

I had no problem "reading" the content it shows, and it doesn't repeat (well it does, but I got bored before the end of the loop)
