Features This tool handles all of the parsing and display logic on the client-side.

There is no dictionary look-up or database of words referenced.

Everything is parsed by regular expressions.

Even with these limitations, read offers some unique features.

RSVP Rapid serial visual presentation allows for readers to keep their eyes focused on a single point on the page, saving a massive amount of time normally lost in reading.

As the speed of this serial presentation increases, sub-vocalization also decreases and astounding speeds can be reached with great comprehension.

Alignment When the eyes read a word, there is an optimal focal point placement around 30% into the word to support easiest understanding.

We handle this shift in the alignment of the words for you based on the word length.

Timing Speed reading via RSVP is all about the timing.

How long we display any given word can have a massive impact on the reading experience.

Heres a few ways we optimize that experience.

Word Length Contrary to expectations, reading small words can actually be more difficult than reading words of medium length.

long words also take a longer time to process.

These extra delays are built into our rendering code.

Punctuation When you encounter a period, question mark, exclamation point or other punctuation, additional time is provided to process the sentence or fragment.

This helps avoid the feeling of a run-on sentence.

Paragraphs The tool also gives an additional pause between paragraphs to help contextualize and process information as you read it.
