ABSTRACT:
A text enhancement method and apparatus for the presentation of text for improved human reading. The method includes extracting text specific attributes from machine readable text and varying the text presentation in accordance with the attributes. The preferred embodiment of the method: extracts parts of speech and punctuation from a sentence, applies folding rules which use the parts of speech to determine folding points, uses the folding points to divide the sentence into text segments, applies horizontal displacement rules to determine horizontal displacement for the text segments, and presents the text segments each on a new line and having the determined horizontal displacement. Another embodiment displays text color based on parts of speech.
