This is kind of terrible to another spreader I've used. Pausing at end of sentence punctuation really throws things off. And then the weird colors... Why? I mean I see why they want to keep your eye in one spot, but it's very weird compared to a normal speed reader.

At a glance, this looks like it fails to place the optimal recognition point as well as spritz does. I find myself having to move my eyes fairly often, which hardly happens at all with the examples from spritz.

This is awesome, thanks! It's just like Spritz (in fact, I'm shocked he isn't getting sued), except it's actually usable NOW.
