![]() Thinking about the types of students I work with leads me to many questions about Spritz. Spreed is an application for Chrome browsers which uses the same text box reading technique as Spritz, where one word is flashed at a time. According their website, Spritz is rolling out an iOS API soon, so hopefully we’ll see the technology included in iPad apps moving forward.Īs far as computers go, there is already similar technology out there. As an SLP, I am most interested in when it will be available for e-readers, tablets, and more mobile phones. After that, they are looking into putting the technology into smart watches and Google glassware. Currently, they have teamed with Samsung to release Spritz on the Galaxy S5 phone which will be available in April. The company says they are working on licensing the tech Because the company is so new, Spritz isn’t available everywhere yet. They show one word at a time and allow users to change the speed. The pictures below show what the text boxes look like. “Spritzing” is a term used by the company as an alternative to reading. After my first thought of how cool this was, my SLP brain jumped to thinking about my students and if this technology could help them.Ĭheck out the video above to learn more about how Spritz works. They claim this improves retention and speed. Spritz eliminates that possibility by flashing one word at a time. The idea behind it is while we read, our eyes are busy moving all around the page. The software is a textbox that flashes words at you from speeds of 250-500 words per minute. Boston-based startup Spritz has developed software that completely changes the way we read. International Journal of Human Factors and Ergonomics, 2020 Vol.7 No.2, pp.There’s a lot of buzz about a new type of software designed to increase the speed of reading. Keywords: reading rapid serial visual presentation RSVP comprehension workload Spritz. This result should be considered as a guideline to set the optimal presentation rate when reading a short text on a personal device (such as a smartphone or smartwatch) using Spritz. Results confirm a comprehension difficulty even in a very short text when the presentation rate exceeds 250 wpm. The objective of the present experimental study is to compare inferential comprehension when subjects read in a traditional way or using Spritz at different nominal frequency rates (250, 350, and 450 wpm). Recent studies using Spritz, a recent application of RSVP, seem to indicate a speed-comprehension trade-off beginning at about a 250 word per minute (wpm) rate when reading a text for more than five minutes.
