- No check on JS being blocked. Trivial but the site just gives a blank stare.

- Why are you flashing 1 word at a time?
The first 2 are trivial, the third I'm not so sure about. In any speed reading that I've read about or tried the emphasis is on being able to increase the chunk of text the eye/brain can input and comprehend at once. When I added some text to read I (surprisingly) could comprehend the text at default speed. The speed however was not fast enough. And I got the distinct impression the reading flow was broken up by word instead of sentence. So I then tried a quick experiment using the tool
to read the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_reading entry.
Surprisingly it worked pretty well. I got through the article pretty well. I even read on the pro's and con's of "centre-based" text vs whole word chunking and agree this one works well after you get used to it. One thing I did notice was large words can be missed if shown infrequently. I also tried to move the text to left justification. It did not seem to solve this. It would be interesting if you had some training tests to calibrate your speed and check your comprehension. Read a 1800 word essay, answer some questions to see if you are reading at your optimum.

All in all, the app works for me.
