SpeedRead

Dependency Status

A simple terminal-based open source Spritz-alike.

This is a yet simplistic implementation in ruby of Pasky's Perl version.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'speed_read'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install speed_read

Usage

speed_read reads from standard input. Thus, you can use the usual unix suspects.

$ echo "one two tree" | speed_read
$ speed_read < your_text_file.txt
$ cat your_text_file.txt | speed_read

To set the words per minute use

$ echo "one two tree" | speed_read -w 500

Test

In order to test the gem locally, use:

bundle exec rake test
