What is the effect of the revolutionary speed reading technology 'Spritz' that makes it possible to read Harry Potter in 3 hours?
by Jayel Aheram
' Spritz ' is an epoch-making speed reading technology developed after a period of about 3 years by experts in text reading methodologies and software development engineers. It is said that you can increase the reading speed in a completely new way that has never been seen before, but a teacher has released the results of experiments on himself and his students to see how effective it is.

What exactly is Spritz? You can see that by reading the following article.
'Spritz' --GIGAZINE where words jump into your eyes and you can read sentences at a tremendous speed
Spritz is a technology developed to read sentences more efficiently with a completely different approach from the existing speed reading. Humans spend 80% of the time reading sentences physically moving their eyes, and 20% of the time the brain is actually reading comprehension, so words are displayed one after another. By erasing, I am trying to read sentences without moving my eyes at all. The following is displaying sentences at a speed of 250 words (250 wpm) per minute.
As you get used to it, you will be able to read sentences at a high speed of 500 words (500 wpm) per minute.
The core of this technology is what is called ORP (Optimal Recognition Position). People unknowingly focus on a part when they see a word. This focal position is called ORP, and by displaying the ORP of words displayed at high speed in red and keeping it at a fixed position, the movement of the line of sight is further reduced.
Will Spritz make it really fast to read? And is Spritz useful for reading? However, in fact, a teacher is announcing the results of experiments on himself and his students.

Kyrill Potapov is an English teacher living in the UK and is currently teaching to 12 year olds.
As mentioned above, Spritz is a technology that makes it possible to read sentences at high speed, but for example, if you use Spritz, Harry Potter will be able to read in 3 hours.
However, if you do not actually experience it, you will think 'Harry Potter is overstated for 3 hours?' Also, do you understand the contents properly? Is speed reading a good thing in the first place? I am concerned about that. Therefore, Potapov divided the students into 'a group that reads sentences on a PC using Spritz', 'a group that reads books', and 'a group that reads sentences while scrolling on a PC' and conducted an experiment.
What I found at this time was that the spy action novels '
Also, when Potapov actually read with Spritz, it was effective for classic works and modern novels, and it seems that he was able to speed up the reading time while understanding properly.
Before starting Spritz, Potapov's reading speed was 230 words per minute, but after using Spritz for several months, it increased to 450 words per minute. It's about doubled. For Potapov, who is busy every day, it seems that increasing the reading speed was very helpful.
And Potapov, who continued to use Spritz, notices that he is in a state of
So Potapov used a gadget called 'muse' to measure brain waves to find out what was in his head.
When you wear the muse and start reading on Spritz, your reading speed will increase over time, reaching 400 words per minute in 7 minutes.
The data recorded by muse in the first few minutes looks like this, and you can see that the fluctuation range is large. It seems that you tap the terminal around 1 minute and 40 seconds, and you can see that the brain is in the 'active' state.
In addition, it was said that when the brain was in an 'active' state and when the concentration was lacking and the understanding of the story was low, it matched. In other words, the more the brain waves are in 'neutral' or 'calm', the deeper the understanding of the story.
And the following is the brain wave when reading in the usual way. There is unevenness in the state where 'calm' continues and the state where 'active' continues.
On the other hand, in the case of Spritz, it was stable mainly between 'neutral' and 'calm', and even from the viewpoint of brain wave movement, it was easier to understand than the normal reading method, and I felt more calm. I understand.
However, when using Spritz, there was little immersive feeling because there were missed readings, and the story did not shake the emotions much. On the other hand, he rarely missed the meaning of the important part and had a deeper understanding than
Therefore, Spritz is suitable for reading when you want to understand the story roughly or for fun, Potapov says.
It is also effective when you have to read a large amount of data in a short time at work.
