Spreed was recently featured in XYYZ Magazine. They really hit the nail on the head when it comes to the limitation of mobile devices. Although the iPhone has a huge screen, it still has some major real estate issues. When reading articles users can easily get overwhelmed by too much text and a slew of other distraction. Spreed cuts out all the junk and makes it very easy for you to rapidly consume news on the go and improve your comprehension. See the article below:

The Wyre: Speed plus Read Equals Spreed

One application that caught our attention is 100% Canadian. It’s called Spreed, and it’s an application that increases the speed at which you read. Spreed is the brainchild of Anthony Novac and Patrick Keefe , and was brought to life by technical wizard Suhail Mirza.

The concept is based on the simple fact that your reading is slowed by the visual distractions around the words you’re reading, namely the other words on the page. So Spreed breaks up text into small chunks, and then serves those small chunks to you against a black background. No other text is visible to distract you. By focusing your eyes on only the text you’re reading, your reading speed improves dramatically.
