ABSTRACT:
A system and method which enables individuals to rapidly and accurately obtain information about the contents of a written text without having to read the words of the text. Written text, which is comprised of graphic markings that represent linguistic sound, forms a graphic image. This graphic image can be mapped in various ways to illustrate and provide insight about the structure and content of the text with regard to one or more selected features. Individuals can perceive the graphic information contained in the text using parafoveal and peripheral vision, thereby enabling those individuals to process the graphic information using visual/spacial cognitive abilities. The present invention system and method therefore enables a person to understand a large amount of information about the body of written text without reading the words comprising the body of written text. The image of the text is then mapped in various ways to illustrate, without words, the various features of the text that provide insight into the contents of the text.
