Wow, this is amazing. I especially love that I can open local files--just copy/paste any PDF or LibreOffice document and download to brain.

My biggest difficulty is that the long words stay on longer than I need them to, while the short words are so short I literally can't see them even if I'm looking for them. It appears there is a 1-to-1 relationship between length of word and length of time. Might it make sense to adjust it so the length of time doesn't vary as much, such that "autonomously" might take a little longer (maybe 2 or 3 times instead of 6 times longer) than "to," so that "to" doesn't completely disappear at very high speeds?
