Speed Reader Using LabVIEW

Overview
This small application was developed to mimic the various tools that have been coming up recently that allow you to train yourself to speed read.

 
Description
This LabVIEW program takes input text defined by the user, then reads it back one word at a time, with a speed that can be set on the front panel.The basic principle behind this is that by being shown the word quickly, you dont have the time to read it aloud in your head, but still process the information. Whether or not this is the case, hopefully this code is educational, and also teaches the proper architecture of code (in this case queued message handler).

The default text shown in input text is the first paragraph of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone, you can replace this text with anything you like.

Requirements

• LabVIEW 2013 (or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Open the speed reader LabVIEW project
2. Open and run speed read.vi
3. Follow the instructions on the front panel of the VI
