How fast playback works with Reedso
The tool offers a combination of the best fast-reading technology and the latest research advances. The Reedso reader will display your text word by word asa Prompter. When you read a word using traditional reading methods, your eyes naturally attach themselves to a point in that word called ‘Optimal Vision Position’ (OVP). Once your eyes have found the OVP, the brain begins to recognise the word and process its meaning.
Reedso presents a technology to read one word at a time with an OVP point already fixed and highlighted. Thanks to this you do not need to move your eyes while reading.
