Speed reading program?
 
Hello all,

I just got my n800 and even upgraded it to OS 2008. These forums have been a great source of information so thanks to all those who post.

I am looking for an app that would help reading concentration. There is a commercial program that does this called Kurzweil. It show you a text, highlighting words as you go (at a speed that you set). Check out the flash demo if you want to see what I mean. There are a couple of websites that will display text one or a few words at a time (e.g. Spreeder), but this is a lot harder on the eyes.

Does anyone know of an app for Maemo, or one that could be ported to Maemo, that does something like this? Alternatively, a website like spreeder (but different) might work.

Thanks a lot!

Adam

Pretty good idea :)

Ask the guy who ported FBReader if he could implement the feature?

That's a great idea. Any idea where to find him?

Is it just easier to ask than to look for yourself? Don't answer that.. you already did.
