This reads in my head the same way it would sound if I pasted the text into a text-to-speech tool. That is, robotic, stilted, and lacking context.

When the rate at which you ingest words is fixed, it doesn't allow you to actually process them. What's important is concepts expressed and learned in a given amount of time, not the words scanned.

Personally, it seems that increasing the number of displayed words allows me to process the text much faster. For instance, I can comfortably read and (mostly) comprehend at ~400 wpm when 30 words are displayed on screen at a time, while with only 1 word-per-frame I'm struggling to read and have zero comprehension.

Comprehension-wise, at the 30 wpf setting, the trouble seems to be when the app splits at sentence boundaries.

It's very interesting that this simple tool gives me personal insight into how I visually process texts.

I thought so to at first. If you put it at something more like normal reading speed (600 maybe?) it flows a bit better. I'm not quite sure what it's supposedly improving though.
