I was looking at that earlier. Its completely awesome. I need it!

Wow. More than twice the average speed, and less eye fatigue? That's so incredible.

I like it. I was a little worried about how choppy 250wpm was; I couldn't turn off my inner voice while reading. 500wpm was smooth so I'll look forward to this, particularly for reading from my phone.

One thing that I'll be curious about has to do with personal reading habits. Faster is always better, but depending on what I'm reading I'll often pause for a moment to give consideration to something I've just read. With a book or kindle I can just stop; I would have to train myself to stop the flow of text to do the same.

That's cool, but I don't know if I'd give up reading the old fashioned way. Maybe once I got used to it.

Yeah, we spend much more time scanning across the page and finding the word than simply seeing it and processing it in our brain. When the words simply pop up in the same expected place, it's pretty incredible how fast our minds can process the words and make sense of them.

Yeah at lower rates in my head it sounded pretty robotic. I thought 500 was a little too fast. 400 seemed perfect for me.

Cool. I find that the 500 wpm one goes by too fast for me and I had to watch it three times to make sure what I thought I saw was actually what I saw. 400 wpm seemed the most comfortable for me.

The downside to this, though, is right after i tried all the speeds I looked around their website and had a negative image of the black screen and the white box the text over everything I was trying to see and read which was really distracting.

Great find rasetsu. I remember wondering about this very thing, you might be able to read fast but it doesn't guarantee reading comprehension.

I think I already read fast enough. I can average a 400-500 page book in one day.
