Why you read better with the
Bookhoover®.
When we read, our eyes do not glide smoothly through the text, but jump from word to word and back in the text. Too much movement causes the eyes to tire and focus & concentration to diminish.
With the Bookhoover® you activate your biological instinct to follow a movement with your eyes. By actively guiding, the eye muscles are relieved, focus and concentration are maintained.
The interplay of eye and hand movements additionally increases attention, since several senses are now involved in the reading process.
By deliberately leading faster, you can set a higher reading pace. Words are grasped more quickly and the inner speaking along is reduced.
Active reading" increases focus, avoidsdistractions and improves reading flow .

Bookhoover® - Advantages over pen and finger
Although it is natural to use the finger to focus on text, as children do, this can be a hindrance because the finger is short and thick and covers too much text. A longer object with a thin tip allows a wider field of view and provides a greater range of motion.
In addition, it has been shown that the biological trigger for eye movements works better for foreign objects than for own body parts. This could be related to the fact that a foreign moving object must be categorized as quickly as possible as to whether it represents a threat or not.
The pen or similar must be held actively, which leads to constant strain on the hand muscles as well as the entire forearm. You will easily recognize the cramping of the hand and forearm when "holding the pen in a tweezer grip". Also, with a pen, you lose the ability of"natural finger movement" from the finger ball joint.
The Bookhoover® as an eye guide combines the comfort and naturalness of your own finger, avoiding any kind of cramping, yet providing the range of motion of a pen or pointer.
Faces behind
The brains behind Bookhoover® are Mana and Daniel from Cologne. In a speed reading course, they learned that you can actually read faster and more concentrated with the right methods.
As an engineer and tinkerer, Daniel couldn't resist developing the first reading tool that increases focus while reading. Thanks to Mana's knack for design and eye for detail, the idea could be realized.
Look forward to more focus and distraction-free, better reading!
You can test the Bookhoover for 30 days. If you are not satisfied, you get your money back!
