Designed to help with reading to an audience, fluent can auto-scroll your reading, has tools for speech notation, and features motion stabilization to help compensate for hand tremors.
Text is presented in an optimal format for reading, in a customizable, distraction free environment. Optionally, text can be stabilized by use of the motion sensors in your device to help compensate for hand tremors. Text can be scrolled automatically, just like a tele-prompt, speeding up or down in reaction to your actual rate of speech. Special customizable annotation tools are also available, allowing you to mark areas in the text that you want to read in a specific way, like softly or with particular stress (known as suprasegmentals).
- Designed for reading: A full screen, distraction free environment is used to display your text. By default, a font specifically designed to be easy to read is used, and for maximum clarity, and to mitigate eye contrast sensitivity, white text is shown on a black background. This is customizable, however.
- Stabilization: Like the Optical Image Stabilization of modern cameras, fluent uses the motion sensors in your device to help compensate for trembling hands. Depending on how much and in what way your hands shake, your text could be steadier and easier to read.
- Auto-Scroll: Text can be scrolled automatically, just like a tele-prompt, based on your chosen speed in words per minute. Speech recognition can then used to change the speed in reaction to your rate of speech. Should you need to, simply touching and holding on the text will pause scrolling, and you are still free to scroll manually if you desire.
- Annotation: A completely customizable toolbar allows you to annotate text. Use it to indicate where specific modulation or emphasis needs to be used, for example. Customize annotation buttons by choosing a name, icon, color, and formatting style, then apply it to text to suit your specific needs.
- Cleanup: Easily remove characters from pasted text that are unnecessary for reading, such as reference markers, verse numbers, and more.
