In many exercises we ask you to input saccade width in pixels. The saccade width in pixels can be calculated from the actual saccade width that would appear for example in a newspaper.
With average line width of 1000 pixels, a typical computation is as following:
Basic level = 3 columns = 5 words for column on 1000 px template = 300px per saccade
Intermediate level = 2 columns = 7 words per column on 1000 px template = 450px per saccade
Advanced level = 1 column = 12 words per column on 1000 px template = 900px per saccade
Notice that some displays have better resolution and some words are longer than other words [depending on language]. Please go to Saccade formatter and see if the calculation needs to be modified for your device and language.
