About Word Streamer v-0.6 x =================== Wordstreamer displays text files one word at a time in the same place on the screen. This allows you to read considerably faster than when scanning a page or screen. Your brain recognises whole words at once, not letter by letter. Features: * Text files or selections containing text can be dragged onto the window. * When _not_ playing, if you begin to drag a word off the window it will be copied to the clipboard. * Speed slider changes the speed at which words are shown. * File position horizontal scroll bar changes the current position within the file or selection. The .jar file requires a Java Runtime Environment of Java 1.7.0_10 or later See http://www.java.com The Mac version has Java JRE bundled so is much bigger. Although it functions quite well, and the pace takes account of things like long words and punctuation, it is not solid enough for general distribution. There are ways to crash it as explained in the instruction file and read-me docs, and maybe other ways too. When you open WordStreamer the instruction file is loaded automatically. Just press play. You can also read the instructions in this directory, but using WordStreamer is much easier. #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR # IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, # FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
