Ooh, that's a good idea! I should try it. Spreeder works very well on AO3 native pages. I haven't tried it on a Google Doc yet. Hm...
I've used Spreeder to catch up on some blog posts and new articles in the last couple of days, and so far, I'm delighted with it. I've been experimenting with different speeds for different types of material. On the whole, I'm coming away with a reasonable grasp of the material in about half the time of regular reading, but that's not really a fair comparison, because with Spreeder I'm actually getting every word--that is, I'm not skipping around, skimming with that anxious and disordered feeling of not being able to focus.
This result, so far, would seem to testify to the claim that speed-reading techniques improve comprehension and focus. I'm excited about the possibilities.
