Slow readers can become faster ones with Spritz's new reading app that speeds up the skill in 90 minutes The New York Daily News reported Friday.
"It's a very simple concept," Frank Waldman, CEO at Spritz told the Daily News. "We position each word in a display where your eye can recognize the word without moving. Every word has what's called a recognition point, the place where your eye looks to recognize the word," Waldman told The Daily News.
The technology helps people who read digitally on portable devices and smart watches through broadcasting words via an optimal recognition point, Redicle a Spritz according to a press release.
"We're reinventing the way people read by eliminating the obstacles associated with traditional reading on mobile devices," Waldman said in a statement in a press release. "As smart devices continue to change shape and become increasingly smaller, Spritz enables users to read comfortably and conveniently. Our technology can be used to read emails, text messages, social media streams, maps or web content and can be integrated onto any mobile device - the options are almost limitless. Reading has never been easier, more efficient or more effective," Waldman said in the statement.
Readers can now read more quickly than before when their eyes may not have properly gone across the page, and without difficulty the press release reported.
Redicle will initally come in an e-mail application on Samsung's Gear 2 and Galaxy S5 smartphone so Samsung consumers can comprehend e-mail messages with ease.
"When we started testing, we already knew that we were on to something but the comprehension tests surprised even us," Dr. Maik Maurer, co-founder and chief technology at Spritz said in a statement. "Happily, our tests confirmed that spritzing increases comprehension. We're now starting to research whether time spent spritzing will also increase a user's traditional reading speed and comprehension, an effect reported to us by many of our testers," Maurer said in the statement.
