A Glance client and library for terminal speed reading.

Project description

# pyglance

A python client and library for [Glance](http://github.com/Miserlou/Glance) applications.

It’s not the best because it doesn’t have top/bottom registration marks yet. Improvements welcome.

## Installation

pip install pyglance -g

## Usage (CLI)

$ glance filename.txt $ glance file1.txt file2.txt –speed 500

## Usage (Programmatic)

from pyglance import glance

glance(your_text_string) wpm = 800 glance(your_text_string, wpm)

## About

There were some other attempts to do this, but none that quite accurately matched the ‘Glance’ timing and spacing specification.

This is used by the [seek](http://github.com/Miserlou/seek) project.
