ABSTRACT:
This invention is a method of analyzing and preparing electronic text in such a way as to set values for each word in terms of recognizability, comprehensibility, and parts of speech for later emphasis and marking for printing or display on an electronic device. When used on electronic display devices it further employs methods which permit the user to limit eye movement by displaying such text one or a few words at a time. This invention also enhances the ability of small electronic devices to display textual information by providing a method of display which is more suitable for small display areas. The invention is made up of two sections. The first analyzes the text to be displayed and grades each word in such a way as to substantially anticipate the difficulty in understanding each word the reader will have when it subsequently is displayed. The first section then tags each word with several values creating a file which can then be read by the second section which then uses the tags to determine how the word is to be displayed. Emphasis and de-emphasis is provided through length of display, color, size, and opacity. Provision is also made for the inclusion of graphics, videos, and audio.
