Blaze Pre-launch survey
Hi, welcome — and thank you for taking time out to fill out my survey out. Blaze is an app being developed to help young people feel less stressed about reading, whether it's homework, essays or anything else. It reads your text out loud while highlighting every word at the same time, so you can listen, follow along, or do both. This survey takes about 3 minutes and there are no right or wrong answers. If you'd like to stay anonymous just leave the name field blank — its up to you!
