Doesn't even work.
Okay, it seems most of these Spritz readers can't do .pdfs, which is disappointing. The 'breaks' this takes, where you can see it 'scanning' a webpage? THAT'S what I want from speed reading software! I want something where it will train my eyes to follow a target quickly, which I think will apply better to reading an ordinary book than just having the words fixed in the centre of the screen. Thank you.
The app runs quite well and can reach higher speeds than most other implementations of Spritz I've used. The breaks after each paragraph are also very helpful in increasing comprehension and the length/speed information is a great bonus. It would be even better if users could customize the size of the font to take advantage of larger/smaller screens.
