Why do you think it is valuable for us to know?
This day in age we live in a time of information overload. Everywhere you go you are bombarded with information you might think there is too much information and too little time to take everything in. Forget about reading that extra long passage and if you are a student you will probably be overwhelmed by the amount of reading you are expected to process every week. The average person reads about 250 word per minute, the spreeder application has been proven to double the number of words per minute giving you a much better chance to process everything you want to read. In addition to increasing reading speed, Spreeder also increases comprehension. It eliminates most distractions by presenting one word or chunks of words in the center of the screen at a quicker rate than you are used to reading not giving your mind any time to wander.
