The WPM slider's maximum value now adapts to the active reading mode:
- Word mode: 1500 WPM ceiling (human single-word recognition limit)
- Sentence / Paragraph modes: 3000 WPM ceiling
Rationale: in chunk modes, "WPM" controls auto-advance timing across
larger display units. A 20-word sentence at 3000 WPM still gets ~400 ms
of display time — well within visual-recognition comfort and suitable
for skim-pass reading of already-familiar material.
Switching back to Word mode auto-clamps the current value down to 1500
to prevent accidentally-illegible word-mode playback.
The `+` keyboard shortcut now respects the mode-specific ceiling instead
of being hardcoded to 1500.
Single-file HTML RSVP reader for academic papers and long-form text.
Released free / GPL v2+ as a replacement for subscription-based RSVP
readers (SwiftRead, etc.) that cost ~$120/year for the same core
functionality.
v1.1.0 ships with three reading modes:
- Word: classic RSVP with ORP focal-character coloring
- Sentence: chunked reading, auto-advancing on word-count timing
- Paragraph: skim mode
Other features: WPM slider 200-1500, drag-drop .txt loading,
localStorage persistence (text + WPM + mode + position), keyboard
shortcuts, dark-mode WP-tone palette, sentence splitter that
handles common academic abbreviations (Mr./Dr./e.g./i.e./et al./
Vol./Fig./decimals).
Single self-contained HTML file. No install, no dependencies,
