    I thought it was pretty cool until the skimming bit, then I was :jawdrop: neeeed!

    Also, my Dad was taught to read a page at a time, not a word at a time (he reads books stupidly fast and does take it all in if you quiz him afterwards). I'd love to see the little red dot showing his eye movements!

    Looks to be a very useful tool for teaching!

    As a "soon-to-be" teacher, I am very interested in seeing how this could be a teaching aid.
    Hopefully it will help dyslexic people, as reading wont seem as "daunting and challenging" for them, and hopefully be manageable!

    I, for one, think that was a rather poor passage to skim, but other than that it's a fantastic idea.

    wow, that's impressive. I think though that at the speed I read at it would go into skimming mode far too often, hopefully the speed could be customisable.
