Vowel Removal Option: Removes vowels to enhance focus on word recognition and speed. Context Display: Shows surrounding words for better comprehension during speed reading. Pause on Punctuation: Adds customisable pauses (0-1000ms) after punctuation for natural pacing. Progress Tracking: Displays a progress bar and unit counter for real-time feedback. Dark/Light Themes: Switch between themes for comfortable reading in any lighting. Sample Texts: Includes excerpts from "Pride and Prejudice" and "Alice in Wonderland" for practice.
