Rapid Serial Visual Presentation
Anyone use this format as their ebook reader? Fastreader, and Speed Reader Plus are programs that use this technology. Basically, they flash words sequentially, in the same space. The idea is that most of the time humans spend "reading" is their eyes moving laterally looking for the next word/recognizing it.
Anyone familiar with "RSVP"? Anyone know if it is actually faster than normal reading? (if i just had a stopwatch handy...) I'm a sucker for efficiency in everything i do, that's why i ask.
google fastreader and speed reader plus--my preference--for free demos if u want to try this out. it's definately different! (But is it faster?)
i realize that ebook readers might not always fit in to the "need for speed" camp that many pda-owners do, but i figured this was the appropriate forum to ask nevertheless.
