Ignoring the actual content…

I love the fact that I could read all of this.

This is my average reading pace for most things. Of course, it’s easier when you use an app that does flash-training like this.

If people want to get the Spritzlet app and tell me how long it takes to read the same text with and without it, I’ll be able to figure out how well it usually works and whether the few people I have data on so far are wacky outliers.

I can almost keep up with the text stream here, but not quite.

I really don’t get the appeal of Spritz. One of the primary advantages of text is that it will sit there and wait for you until you decide to move on, and you can easily skip back and read over the previous paragraph again if you didn’t quite understand it or you want to savour a good turn of phrase. This streaming method has all the hyper-linear bullshit of audio, only even more overly fast. Why not just listen to a sped-up podcast? Unless the intended audience is deaf people who want the sped-up-podcast experience, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
