It can be integrated onto mobile devices, wearables, apps, and websites. And Frank Waldman, the CEO of Spritz, thinks it'll change the way we take in our information online.

Ok, but speed reading apps have been around for ages, haven't they? Yes, but there's one crucial difference.

It uses a method called Rapid Serial Visual Presentation. When your eyes fixate on one point, your brain has a much better chance of processing the word.

Waldman has been pitching big companies like Google and Amazon this product - he hasn't even decided if it'll be a paid offering or free.
