Skip the non-essential parts of any text and go straight to the really important points. Do not waste time while trying to get the vital information. In a quick and easy way you can get the gist of the text and save yourself the effort of reading lengthy texts. No more guessing where the key information might be. Know in advance what can be skipped and what is a must-read. If the highlighted information seems satisfactory you can read the whole article, but there is no point in wasting time while reading something that turns out to be irrelevant. Get new and interesting information from myriad of different sources. Grasp the key ideas in an efficient and effortless way. If you are a writer, you can easily post your articles and reach a wider audience. Share your ideas and insights with other people, who might be interested in your writings. Write your texts and then highlight the most important parts. It will make it so easy and pleasurable for your readers to know exactly what to focus on. In case the gist sparks their curiosity, they can read the whole article. The application makes it easy for people to absorb much more valuable information in a shorter period of time. In modern media outlets we often see pieces of text and all sentences look the same. Yet, not all sentences carry the same value to the reader. Some are trivial while others can contain vital information. By having a clear guidance about what to focus your attention on, you can seek out the most valuable content and thus save yourself a lot of unnecessary reading and precious time. It is a greatly improved and more efficient approach to reading and accumulating new ideas and information. In the same amount of time, you can read many more articles and get all of their valuable information compared to the traditional way of reading. Be more productive, gain more while doing less.
