Info/description:
WordStreamer aka MiniMuncher is a speed reading tool for Pocket PC and SmartPhone. I put together for myself and all of you wonderful people. It works on the principle that our brains only process text when our eyes are not moving. WordStreamer simply streams a text file a set number of words at a time, at a rate specified by you. Since your eyes are not traveling from line to line and across the page, this allows you to read at a faster rate in no time by simply pressing up to increase the rate at which the words are displayed. The goal of this release The goal of release 0.9.2 is to add the ability to quickly stream content as needed and to correct/add some settings. I FINALLY got me a new screen for my Wizard and got to do some overdue bug hunting. Big Changes: 1. There's a new menu option labeled "clipboard". You can use it to Stream your clipboard data on the screen or into a file. This should cover the problem with supporting /docs/rtfs/any other text you can select. Let me know if you have any issues with it.
2. I've adjusted the settings code to properly adjust for font size.
3. The "Max Chars/Line" should be quite a bit more accurate now when set to auto.
How To Use The current target platform is Win CE 5.0 Pocket Pc(compact framework 2.0) You can jump right in when you start up WordStreamer by choosing 'View Demo File' from the menu or choosing a file via the 'Choose File' option, then hitting 'Go' or Enter to start the process. Keyboard Controls * Up,NumPad2,2 - Increase the speed the text is streamed
* Down,NumPad8,8 - Decrease the speed the text is streamed
* Left,NumPad4,4 - Lower the Font Size
* Right,NumPad6,5 - Raise the font size
* Enter/Return,NumPad5,touch screen6 - Start/Stop streaming text
[items in an italic are smartphone only]Quirks or Issues * The settings page tab order is still a little bad, Ill work on it next release.
* The Status bar per second and per minute timers always reflect values as if only 1 word is displaying at a time (The averages on the About screen reflect the correct totals though).
* The settings screen is not dynamically drawn(meaning a scroll bar has to be used) I'll be addressing this in 1.0
* If your having issues with foreign characters such as umlauts try using utf-8 encoding Thanks Boops.
* [0.5.7]I've currently only tested the Smartphone version on an emulators. Testers are needed.
Future Thoughts(Feel Free to add your own) * Ive got some nifty document navigation thoughts for the future
* What about an RSS reader or a tool for more accurately importing web page body text? If we can ever get some help with getting the AutoHotKey for CE compiler going there will be some great great things coming
* I know i know the settings page is ugly. im probably going to do a tab view to get rid of the scrolling
* Fullscreen view with image buttons for the skinners?
* .rtf/.doc support - Good enough on this one, just select the text and copy it then choose "Clipboard-->Stream" in WordStreamer
