Description:
WordStreamer (aka MiniMuncher) is a speed reading tool that I put together over the weekend.
It works on the principle that our brains only process text when our eyes are not moving. WordStreamer simply streams a text file one word at a time, at a rate specified by you. Since your eyes are not traveling from word to word, this allows you to read at a faster rate in no time by simply pressing up to increase the rate at which the words are displayed.
The goal of this release
The main goal of this release was for me to find out if this kind of thing works. So Far.. It does. After a short period you'll soon find yourself reading at pretty fast rate with ease. The only complaint I've seen online is a person saying there eyes hurt from focusing on one spot for a while without blinking.. Please people, press pause and blink
How To Use
The current target platform is Win CE 5.0 Pocket Pc(compact framework 2.0)
You can jump right in when you start up WordStreamer by choosing 'Make Demo File' from the menu or choosing a file via the 'Choose File Option', then hitting 'Go' or Enter to start the process.
Keyboard Controls:
* Up,U,NumPad2 - Increase the speed the text is streamed
* Down,D,NumPad8 - Decrease the speed the text is streamed
* Left,L,NumPad4 - Lower the Font Size
* Right,R,NumPad6 - Raise the font size
* Enter/Return,NumPad5 - Start/Stop streaming text
Requirements:
- Pocket PC Windows Mobile 5.0
- Compact framework 2.0
