The new way to read
I'm a fast reader--very fast. When reading though, I find that it takes me more time to turn back to the start of the line than it took me to read the line. To combat this, I started reading line-by-line, but I asked myself,
What if you could read, but not move your eyes?
This would eliminate the need to scan for letters and instead, you could take in a single word at a time and as fast as you want.
So I threw this app together and I use it to train myself and to cram before a book review.
Open up RapidReader, paste the text you want to read, and click start. You can press space to start and stop.
You can find a section of Dante's Inferno to read HERE
TIP: Try using the line-by-line mode if you can't comprehend it!
Contributions are welcome! This project is in a very early stage and any features would be welcome in the form of a PR request.
Some things i'd love to see implemented
