## Description

An application for fast reading, designed to increase the speed of text perception. The basic idea is to minimize eye movements, which usually slow down the reading process. Instead of moving your gaze over a line of text, the app displays the words one by one in a fixed point on the screen. This allows the reader to focus on one place, which greatly speeds up reading.
To launch it, select the text on the page, right-click and select Focus in Read from the menu, and click Start. You can also work with external text. To do this, open the application, press F5 and paste the text into the field. There are settings for the font size and color scheme of the application.
Hotkeys
Enter = Start; Whitespace = Stop/Play; Up arrow = Speed up; Down arrow = Speed down;
After starting, pressing the space bar will highlight the place where you left off.
