Thanks—I just tried it. I’m intrigued, and in general always interested in these kind of experiments. Did you base it on some existing research? I use auto-scroll when reading PDFs sometimes, to force-feed me. One of the advantages seems to be that the mind is put under some stress, and less likely to wander off.
BTW, I found that some words go together naturally when reading (say, a book title), and it’s a bit confusing when textcelerator splits them.
The rapid serial visual presentation technique is old and has lots of research; my modification to it (moving the words up and down) has only been tested by me and people who’ve tried the app, so nothing formal.
The way words get grouped together is mostly determined by their physical size, but I might be able to put in a special case for capitalized proper nouns.
