Most of them have the ability adjust the rate at which these sentence snippets are displayed along with various other features. The idea is that you should be able to progressively increase the number of words displayed each minute, thus reading more text in less time.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Spreeder\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.spreeder.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Spreeder<\/a> is certainly not ground breaking but it does illustrate the unmistakable shift from desktop based applications towards web based apps.
