GutenFlash lets you read books by displaying single words or small phrases quickly, in a large font. The technique is known as RSVP, Rapid Serial Visual Presentation.

Current features:

• loads plain text
• chapter navigation
• paragraph and sentence navigation
• continuous speed control from 20wpm - 2000wpm
• total / remaining playtime calculation
• 3 display modes

GutenFlash expects UTF-8 files. So for reading a file originally in iso-8859-1, please convert it before to UTF-8 in a shell terminal:

iconv -f iso-8859-1 Reveries.txt -t utf-8 > Reveries.utf8
