I'm so grateful that HN has such a fine-tuned BS detector - filters out the noise (eg. suspicious apps like this) very quickly.

- golovatyi 9y agoHi. I'm Oleksandr Golovatyi and founder of Readlax. We created our first product - Chrome extension to help train speed reading and train eyes to more focusing and recognize words faster when readin. This help me read 100 books per year. I'd like to answer on any question about speed reading. This is my goodreads profile - https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/59273547-oleksandr-golovatyi https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/59273547-oleksandr-golov... Sorry if some reviews disturb you, I don't pay attantion on that reviews. I don't why but mostly all of them are from India. We do not any bad marketing thinks.
- otakucode 9y agoI didn't even look at the link. Speed reading doesn't exist. It is, and always has been, a hoax. I thought this was widespread knowledge by now.
- golovatyi 9y agoI don't agree with you. Speed reading exist. Just remember how fast you read in school and in university. It's two different speeds. That skill you can train. It's like going to the gym to train the body. You can train your brain as well. Standart person read with speed 150-200 words per minute, but it's very easy to train speed to 700-1500 words. For example, after some training, I can read with 700-1000 wpm. And as usual, I read 10 books every month. I think it's great.
