What is Fast Reader?

Fast Reader helps you read quickly by displaying only one word at a time. This program offers a customizable interface to enhance the reading experience.

Features:

  • Customizable Settings: Tailor your reading experience by adjusting settings like background color, text color, font size, and display of progress indicators.
  • Text Input: Easily input text into the application through a dedicated text entry field.
  • Word-by-Word Display: The text is broken down into individual words, presented one at a time, facilitating focused reading.
  • Navigation Options: Seamlessly navigate through the text using intuitive navigation buttons or convenient keyboard shortcuts.
  • Progress Indicators: Keep track of your reading progress with helpful indicators displaying your current position in the text and overall progress.
  • Time-Based Word predictions: You can set a variable time calculate by a formal for the display of each word. The formula for calculating the word display time is: "Time-Per-Word × (Cube Root of Word-Length)". This dynamic adjustment ensures that longer, more complex words are allotted more time, providing a natural and responsive reading experience.
  • Statistic Collection: Generates statistics for you, showing how long you took to read each word.
  • Colorize Statistics: Makes the statistics colorful (optional), allowing you to quickly see how long you took per word and identify which words were very slow or fast.

You can set a variable time limit for the display of each word. The formula for calculating the word display time is: "Time-Per-Word × (Cube Root of Word-Length)" (Time-Per-Word×(3vWord-Length )). This dynamic adjustment ensures that longer, more complex words are allotted more time, providing a natural and responsive reading experience.
