FYI, the original title mentioned our new app, which was the point of the post. We've had desktop browser plugins for a year (launched on HN last sept), but we've only just now released the app.
Are there any scientific studies showing that your method works? No anecdotal evince, thanks.
Yes, optometrists have used eye-tracking goggles and have found that it provides an immediate reading benefit (fewer backward saccades, fewer skipped/repeated lines) for nearly all of their patients. More studies are underway, both in schools and university labs.
did anyone do the test and benefit? If so, are you reading a lot?
I read a lot, did the test and it says it didn't improve my reading
Since no one else has weighed in, I'll share the aggregate results. after our first HN post (#1 for 12 hrs), we had 15,000 people come through and take the test. Over 60% of readers increased their speed, with an average speed gain of 20%.
