Brainstamp now became web browser. At the moment browsing technique is very much different from other browsers,
and interface is very experimental. We need help of users/ designers at this stage to improve its look and arrange things on the interfaxe in the most ergonomic way. But it is already good for reading texts from news sites.
Starting from version 0.5.4 brainstamp while keeping all its fast reader functionality turns gradually into web browser. Totally
new navigation widget (+ some navigation buttons) is added, and not local and remote files are organized into single tree. The
navigation system is still experimantal and some new functions seem to be required. But the most important thing is that brainstamp
from now on is web browser.
Large interface changes was made so new 0.4.* serie started after 0.3.*
In the last release (0.3.3) new ability is added to brainstamp: now it reads not only text files, but also HTML and XML files in a way that tags do not disturb readers anymore
Now 0.3.1 and 0.3.2 available to download
Fixed bug with fonts on the first switch, added keyboard control. Fixed some minor bugs. And added pauses on dots and commas, so reading is now mauch easier.
The utility for those who have to browse long texts or likes to
read books on-line.
Instead of scrolling text in a window, the program shows consecutively words one by one in a window (do not forget to set a comfortable font). The speed may be set manually, but should be really fast.
This way of "diagonal" reading is 3-4 times faster then normal one, but is quite tiresome without a habit. As soon as you acquire the habit, it becomes really efficient since the text is
well memorized: seems if dives straight to under-consience.
