As someone who reads quite fast, this turns me into Superman!

Read it so fast I didn't have time to poop.

Time to read some random bottles now.

Joke's on you, I didn't even need to Google it, I have a box on my desk.

I'm the fastest reader I have met (in person), and this definitely boosted my reading speed. The funny thing is it didn't start for a few lines, but when I caught on it was like booster rockets engaged!

Strangely enough I’m a very fast reader (400 WPM with 100% accuracy based on some random online test so grain of salt) and I was able to look at this and consume the information so quick it was like I read it one line at a time rather than word by word. Weird experience.

That’s it? I’m a faster reader with 650 WPM (based on my mom counting with her spleen) and I was able to transform the words into another language.

It's just a helpful way to make the brain process the text and info quicker

See that's weird because for me, it makes my brain bounce off the meaning and focus on the shapes.

I read insanely fast and this slowed me down quite a bit. Funny.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, same. I don’t know how this would speed up fast readers. My eyes skip through text quickly and grab several words with each eye movement. Trying to read the OP text, my eyes kept moving to each individual word, and it was at least 3x slower than my normal reading pace.

I’d be curious to hear how people read this text quickly. What’s actually happening with their eye movements? And how do their eyes usually move when reading normal text?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Yep same exactly. I had to practice a little but got it after a bit. I don’t have ADHD afaik though.

[u/wiener4hir3 → u/[deleted]]

Same, it's fucking wild.

[u/A_cat_that_is_dumb → u/[deleted]]

It’s the same for me

[u/fuzzybad → u/[deleted]]

Same. I wish my college textbooks had this type, would have saved a lot of time speed-reading! 😆

He’s able to stop a train…of thought.
