Abstract:
A computer program that plays a user's textual content in an animated format to increase reading speed via reconditioning reading behavior. The computer program: highlights a word being read and positions a copy in the center of the page so a reader can eliminate repositioning their eyes and still satisfy the common scanning strategy's need to have a word projected on the center of the retina while the reader is reconditioned by the highlighting progressing through the text to use the faster scanning strategy of changing the position on the retina being read with eyes fixed; presents a picture representing the word's meaning to recondition users to utilize the faster cognitive strategy of triggering recognition of meaning with a picture; highlights the word for a time calculated using syllables to create a presentation in sync with the natural timing of speech; can play/record a voice speaking the word for creating audible textual presentations enabling the non-reader to enjoy their textual content while learning printed language through context alone.
