Description:
WordFlashReader project its a Rapid Serial Visual Presentation
(RSVP) program that makes on-screen reading easy. Its free,
open-source, and works on both Windows and Linux.
This program works best with text files and html files, but can
open pdf files as well. WordFlashReader works by flashing each word
of the text or book sequentially on the screen (pausing for
punctuation).
Not only is this way of reading off of a computer screen less
straining on the eyes than the normal method, but also after a
little practice you may discover that you can read at multiple
times the speed you normally do.
Here are some key features of
"WordFlashReader":
· Includes both a normal display mode and a full-screen
mode.
· You can adjust font size, type, and color.
· You can adjust the display size (in normal mode) as
well as its background color (for either normal or full-screen
mode).
· You can display only one word at a time, or multiple
words at a time (chunk mode).
· This is an open-source application. I encourage you to
modify the source code and submit bug fixes, patches, and feature
enhancements.
· This is a cross-platform application developed to work
on both Windows and Linux.
· Its totally free. You will never be charged for this
software.
Usage:
After opening a file, it should appear in the scroll window. To
start, either either hit the spacebar or press the "Start" button
on the program. The words will start flashing at you. Use the up
arrow to speed up the flashing and the down arrow to slow it down.
To pause either hit the Spacebar again or press the "Pause"
button. This will cause the scroll view window to scroll to the
place where you have paused, highlighting the line and word (or
nearabouts).
If you have finished reading and want to save your spot, click
the "Save" button, and the next time you open the program your
document will appear in the history list found in the "File"
menu. It should open it where you left off.
If you want to start at a particular place (rather than the
beginning), go to that place and double click the word you want to
begin on.
This program has two display modes: the normal display mode and
a full- screen mode. I prefer the fullscreen mode because it blocks
out anything that might be distracting on the screen and helps
prevent a "burned retina" after-effect from appearing.
There is also a "Chunk Mode" and a "Uniform Mode", both of
which disregard punctuation. The Chunk Mode allows you to display
multiple words (or "chunks") at a time. You can increase/decrease
chunk size with the right/left arrow keys.
Requirements:
· Tk
· Tk::FontDialog
· Encode
· Encode::Unicode (Not sure if this is seprate from the
Encode module)
· Encode::Guess
· HTML::Parser
· LWP::Simple
· Clipboard (In Linux, this module requires 'xclip',
which can be found here.)
· Tk-DKW
· These can be downloaded from
http://www.perl.com/CPAN.
· [Also, in order to read pdf files, you need to make
sure 'pdftotext' is already included on your linux
distribution]
What's New in This Release:
· You can now move forward by a word, back by a word,
forward by a sentence, back by a sentence, forward by a paragraph,
and back by a paragraph.
· There are lots of little improvements to the user
interface.
· Configurable key shortcuts were added.
· A number of improvements were made to Chunk Mode.
