Comments on Speed reader for Android

★★★★★ The copy paste may be helpful but what if you can include a text converter that change words in pic to words in screen..

★★★★★ I'm already a speed reader and so I didn't need this for that. But it has increased my reading speed tremendously. Mainly though, it decreases distractability and eye strain, which are the real perks.

★★★★★ Any writing I want to skim - scientific or news or science fiction - I skim hella quick now. Doing some basic SAT reading comprehension tests after having ONLY skim-read the relevant text using this application, I found my reading comprehension to be about average, by their meausre. So using this application at 800 words/minute, reading comprehension was at about an "average high schooler doing online SAT preparation" level. AFAIK, that's comprehension enough for a relatively effective, quick first skim of something scientific. For most of the fluffy news writing one comes across, however, even THAT much comprehension might be enough to make you disillusioned with the state of pop journalism. Use wisely.

★★★★★ I've learned using this software in a quiet but not totally silent environment works best. Set your lighting low so that you can concentrate on just the screen and put the phone on something that will tilt it up so that you don't have to hold it. I have hundreds of books in my kindle and I've been able to start reading them much faster at approximately 400 words per minute and comprehend probably 80 to 90%.

★★☆☆☆ Unusable. If you touch anywhere else on the screen - even just to stop it locking out after a certain time - the entire spritz window disappears along with all of your progress, list forever.

★★☆☆☆ Very limited in functionality, and it fails even at that. Completely unusable. It only showed up in the status bar once. Then no amount of enabling or killing the app brought it back. Paste text didn't work at all. You can only type your own content into the paste area. There is no way to share content with it from other apps. No URL fetching. Worst of all, the Spritz implementation is flawed. It constantly selects punctuation or quotemarks as the character to emphasize. It also offsets the word so that the red character moves around constantly. I uninstalled after one day of frustration. It gets two stars because it's not spam or spyware.

★★☆☆☆ So I'm supposed to copy and paste entire books into this? You can't open a book through the app? That's idiotic.

★★☆☆☆ Need to be able to either read in landscape, adjust the size of text, or just make better use of screen size. I tried using this to speed read technical documents and it continuously cut off words and hyphenated them, making it impossible to keep up with. I do like the thing in the notification bar, but the limit on long words makes it useless for me.
