• Adjustable speed from 50 to 1000 WPM (Words Per Minute)
• Real-time speed display and adjustment

👁️ Focus-Based Reading

• Optimal Position Fixation (OPF) algorithm
• Each word's focus letter highlighted in red
• Reduces eye movement fatigue

📊 Statistics & Analytics

• Reading speed comparison table
• Estimated reading time calculation
• Performance tracking

⚙️ Customization

Installation

Via pip

pip install etech-reading

From source

git clone https://github.com/eymenomersenyigit-lang/etech-reading.git
cd etech-reading
pip install -e .

Quick Start

Command Line

etech-reading

Python Script

from etech_reading import RSVPReader
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication
import sys

app = QApplication(sys.argv)
reader = RSVPReader()
reader.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

Using TextAnalyzer

from etech_reading import TextAnalyzer

text = "Your text here..."
analysis = TextAnalyzer.analyze_text(text)

for sentence in analysis:
    print(f"Sentence {sentence['sentence_index']}: {sentence['original_sentence']}")
    for word in sentence['words']:
        print(f"  Word: {word['clean']}, Focus: {word['focus_letter']}")

Requirements

• Python 3.7 or higher
• PyQt5 >= 5.15.0
• PyQtWebEngine >= 5.15.0

How It Works

RSVP Technology

Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) is a technique that displays text word-by-word at a fixed position instead of requiring your eyes to move across the page.

1. Sentence Breaking: Text is split into sentences
2. Word Analysis: Each word is analyzed for optimal focus point
3. Focus Positioning: The Optimal Position Fixation (OPF) algorithm calculates the best letter to focus on:
   • 1-2 letters: First letter
   • 3-4 letters: Second letter
   • 5-6 letters: Third letter
   • And so on...
4. Visual Presentation: Words are displayed sequentially with the focus letter highlighted in red

Benefits

• Faster Reading: 2-3x speed increase
• Reduced Eye Strain: Eyes stay fixed on one point
• Maintained Comprehension: Optimal position fixation keeps meaning clear
• Improved Focus: Minimizes distractions

Configuration

Speed Settings

• 50-150 WPM: Very Slow (ideal for learning difficult texts)
• 150-250 WPM: Slow (comfortable for average readers)
• 250-400 WPM: Normal (standard reading pace)
• 400-600 WPM: Fast (experienced readers)
• 600-900 WPM: Very Fast (advanced readers)
• 900+ WPM: Ultra Fast (speed reading)

Font Size

Adjust font size from 20pt to 80pt for comfortable viewing.
