Speed Reader is a utility designed to enhance reading speed and comprehension by displaying text in a rapid, customisable sequence. Users can input their own text or select from preloaded samples, such as excerpts from classic literature, to practice speed reading. The application offers a range of settings to tailor the experience, including adjustable display speed, text chunking options, and visual themes.

Vowel Removal Option: Removes vowels to enhance focus on word recognition and speed.

Context Display: Shows surrounding words for better comprehension during speed reading.

Pause on Punctuation: Adds customisable pauses (0-1000ms) after punctuation for natural pacing.

Progress Tracking: Displays a progress bar and unit counter for real-time feedback.
