Ha. It's called spreeder because it's a mash up between the words speed and- wait for iiiiittt... ... ... ... ... Reader!
I' ve always been annoyed by teachers asking someone to read aloud, I read thrice as fast in my head. I didn' t know most people were stuck at the vocal pace in their mind though. One of my literature teacher was shown a machine once. It would flash words on a screen, starting rather slow but getting quicker and quicker. They took a break for lunch then resumed, but the guy setting the machine deliberately kept it as fast as before instead of starting slow again. They couldn' t believe they ever managed to keep up with that. Another teacher asked me to read aloud something like this once : THE PAOMNEHAL PWEOR OF THE HMUAN MNID. Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabridge Uinervtisy, it deosn' t mttaer in waht oerdr the lteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat lteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
I actually want to achieve this. I have always felt like such a slow reader which really limits me in many places.
