What is this tool?

This is a speed reading app, or tool, that allows you to paste in your text and that subsequently helps you reading it. It does so by flashing the words of the entered text in chunks.

Paste the text you want to read into the textarea below, set the words per minute to a comfortable reading rate, then click Start ( ► ) to begin.

While reading, Spacebar pauses and resumes, Esc stops, Up Arrow increases the reading speed, Down Arrow slows the reading speed, Left Arrow will go back a second or so toward the beginning of a sentence, and Right Arrow will go ahead a few seconds toward the beginning of a paragraph.
