Spritzing got me quite excited! The concept isn’t new, but the variable speed (pauses after punctuation marks) and quality visual cues really work for me, in the demo at least. Don’t let your inner voice slow you down!
Disclaimer: No relevant disclosures about spritzing (the reading method, at least).
Interesting. I noticed that in the first two, my subvocalization became disjointed, sounding as if each word was recorded separately like it would be in a simplistic text-to-speech program. In the 500 wpm one, this was less of a problem, and I’m not sure I was even entirely subvocalizing it. It ended up being easier and more comfortable to read than the slower speeds.
I like this idea, but am seriously concerned about its effect on eye health. Weak eye muscles are not a thing you want to have, even if you live in the safest place in the world.

I already made basically this exact comment in this open thread.
It’s probably because I didn’t spritz the open thread in its entirety. At least, now we got even more spritzing awareness.
