    WordFlashReader vs Reedy Comments

    Even though it is 10 years old, I have yet to find a free, stand-alone RSVP program as good at this one. Its best features are that it is highly customizable, user friendly, and efficient. I use it every day for countless reading tasks. Still, it's not quite perfect. Since it's open source, I hope one day a programmer will make it even better (e.g. better handling of new sentences and paragraphs, and highlighted "focus" letters as can be found in Reedy and other newer programs).
