Hey, would love a web version of this.
plez don't sue me 😅I just really loved your idea, but I mostly read on my computer
What is the reading retention using this system?
Did Apple use this to make their video ? 🤔 I wonder what's the science behind this being an effective way to read.
They dive into the science of it here: looks like a good UI for it, but would like for it to be easier to upload a book...
There's a seizure concern with products and videos that flash content quickly and rapidly. How are you guys addressing that? Is there a seizure warning anywhere?
me too 😊 I don't have an iPhone, so I can't download Spdr currently, but does the seizure warning appear when the app itself is opened the first time? And is there a feature that allows a user to go back and reread a certain portion? I know that often when I'm trying to read quickly, I might get distracted and otherwise be reading the same line over and over again, or find myself two paragraphs later with no recollection of what I just read.
is there a future outlook for a feature that imports the content rather than having to copy/paste?
Reading speed 👍🏽; comprehension and retention 👎🏽. A solution looking for a problem.
Pretty cool concept. I would love to see this fleshed out more. Obviously, having to copy and paste text into the app isn't ideal. I could see this being used to read articles on Mobile or one Web. For a very simple use-case and experiment, seems odd that you guys went all out on ads. Do I really need to interact with an ad between every reading?
Ugh those full screen ads after you're done reading are a total buzz kill :(
As someone who's dyslexic I've found this reading technique super helpful in the past but the things I've really needed with it is 1) ability to use it on books, ideally in a epub/mobi format and some kind of eye tracking feature. E.g. If I'm reading something like this and I'm distracted or look away I want the text to stop. I get there is a hold down feature but it's difficult when your reaction time is quite slow. That or have a really awesome rewind feature that finds the best point to restart from.
A friend of mine worked on the exact same idea 3 years ago on weekend hackathon at McGill.
Reminds me of Squirt,
