Abstract:

A device for displaying the text of an electronic document on a screen one word at a time. The display device includes a processor for storing the electronic document; a one-word display for sequentially displaying only one word of the document at a given time; and a user control for allowing the user to control, in real time, the legibility characteristics such as color, font size and display speed. The device allows display speeds in excess of 3,000 words per minute to be achieved while at the same time allowing the user to alter or modify the legibility characteristics of the displayed words without the need for interrupting the display of words.
