Simple JavaScript RSVP

To reuse, simply bookmark this link: to speed reader. This is a bookmarklet. You simply select some text in a Web page and click that bookmark. It will bring you here, and then you can play the text you selected.

Developed by François Savard, as a project for my site/blog Structure in the flow.

Download and redistribution

You can download this for local use by simply "File > Save page as..." in your browser. But keep in mind its a work in progress.

You can reuse this application on your website as long as you respect the terms of the file LICENSE.txt in this directory. It's a CPAL license, which is basically a Mozilla public license asking for attribution information (a logo or text, plus link, see license) to be shown if you reuse the application on websites, browser extensions, etc. Here's the logo which you should use (a good place to put it would be on the front panel, the one with the 'Play that text' button):

(To save the code, just look at the Javascript and CSS includes).
