Speed reading

Seems to work, I can manage 500 wpm fine.

However, it would be no good for relaxing with a novel; I want immersion in the story and time to pick up my coffee/beer/wine/nibbles etc.

Would be useful for work stuff but I might feel that I was turning into a robot.

Did this a couple of weeks ago, found even 800 was fine, but suspect a whole novel would be very wearing.

Very cool. Not having to move your eyes and find the start of the next one must save quiet a lot of the time.

I think it’ll be really useful for certain applications. As above though you wouldn’t want to use it too long – more for short burst like reading texts or emails.

And reading txts while driving, no doubt 👿

another one?

It’s easy to read, but try remembering what you just read 2 minutes later.

It’ll have a use if you’ve read something slowly, absorbing the information firstly, then want to have a quick read through again.(a speed control would be handy there)

But useless as a first read imo.

I took a speed-reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes. It involves Russia.
