ABSTRACT:
A method of enhancing the readability of rapidly displayed text and with rapid apprehension, at a rate which is greater than the maximum unaided reading capability of that subject using the method. The method comprises a rapid and sequential moving of the words of text through a window on a screen of a computer monitor. In accordance with the method, the words are allowed to pass through or be displayed in the display window, one word at a time, and at a rate in which the time for display which is based on the number of characters in a word is related to and a function of the total amount of time required for all of the words in a segment of the text to be displayed. A time for display of each word of average character length is the same, and that certain words in a segment will be displayed for a longer period of time than other of the words. Usually, the words which contain more characters will have a longer display period. The present invention also provides an area on the screen of the monitor in which the previously read words of the segment of the text are printed as a full display, such that the reader may rapidly review the words of that segment previously presented on the window of the monitor, and then also rapidly scan entire portions of the text which have already been displayed. The method also involves the use of a selected color and patterned background, to enhance readability. In accordance with this method, the reading rate is substantially increased, and eye fatigue and strain is substantially reduced.
