Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Riffling is a new method facilitating the reading process by guiding the eyes through text with artificial fixation points, based on the "Bionic Reading" method. As a result, the reader is only focusing on the highlighted initial letters and lets the brain center complete the word.

This improved version of bionic reading, allows you to play with many tunable parameters, based on your preferences. You can change:

the Fixation (increase or decrease the number of characters per words highlighted)
the Saccades (increase or decrease how often do we highlight a word)
the Opacity (increase or decrease the font-weight for the highlighted words)
the Stopwords (increase or decrease the number of words that are considered as "not meaningful")
the StopWordsBehavior (how do we handle the stopwords: remove , underline, strikethrough, ignore or bold them)
the MaxRareWordsFrequency (increase or decrease the frequency of apparation of a word to be considered as "very Important")
the MaxRareWordsBehavior (how do we handle the stopwords: highlight , underline, strikethrough, ignore or bold them)
