An application for allowing fast reading of pdfs by humans.
- Load PDFs and read the text inside them. (e.g. PDF books)
- Print that text into a single place on and flash new text in place of it.
- This prevents eye movement and should increase the speed with which someone can read it.
- Allow setting the speed to read at via WPM. Internally adjust the speed it's printed to.
- Have a pause/play function.
- This pauses the words flashing on screen.
- Have a jump back/forward a few words (e.g. 10?) button
- This button can be pressed numerous times to stack it. So 3 presses would be 3 x 10 words jumped.
- Have a save/load functionality to remember where someone was in a book.
- Add the ability to load a page number and start at that part of the book.
- Create a frontend for this functionality. Perhaps a mobile app?
- Could utilize the entire screen space and have someone just read from a dark screen with light text.
- This should focus on ease of use and portability, so that someone could use it while, say, riding a bus.
