I've used one of those one-word-at-a-time speed reading things before, and managed to crank it up to something like 600wpm before it felt like I was missing anything. It's crazy, worth trying out just for fun. Looks like the software mentioned in the talk has a demo on their homepage and they claim people go up to 1,000 wpm! http://spritzinc.com/ http://spritzinc.com/

My one complaint/request regarding Spritz is an issue that makes it hard to use it for news and technology content. I think it would work a lot better if it would pause longer on words that it believes I have not seen before. That is, the first time I encounter a neologism or proper noun, I need to be able to see how it's spelled and pronounced, requiring a much longer pause. After I'm acquainted with the word, it can continue doing its thing.
