Spreed?

[Vaughan]

The word "spreed" appears irregularly on the right side of posts, at least when I view them.

What does it mean?

I played with it out of curiosity as well. If you highlight the words in a post and then open spreeding (which seems to stand for speed reading), it lets you speed read. I use it quite a bit since I discovered it - on long posts, I get though them in half the time!

I was hoping to get the java script to use the users post body as the data for the spreed script. - the developer doesn't have a downloadable version as of yet.

So for posts that have more than 250 characters you will see the spreed link in the upper right hand corner, just select a bit if text (or a novel) and then click the link it will allow you to read posts at over 300 words per minute - after some tweaking of settings you can actually consume more dialog and actually may retain more what you are reading when you read text in this fashion.

Hope that helps.

here is another example...
