I have not explicitly written any logic for variable commas ...only just the fact that there should be a lil bit of time gap between the commas. Just so that I can understand your question better...why does it matter ..like that's the way that has been pasted in the text so...the interface is showing just that.

First of all...good attention to detail man!! And yes that is something I have done intentionally i.e. the words which are longer than a certain threshold are shown for a longer period of time. But looking at the exact calculations...it would not exceed the word by a big extend unless there is a paragraph which has all the words which are very long.

Hi HN,

I built this Speed reader to deal with the optical fatigue that comes from reading long articles and books.

This eliminates the need for saccadic eye movements. Your eye stays entirely stationary while the text streams through the focal point which in turn helps you finish what you are reading in less than half the time required.

You can paste any text block into it and test it instantly. I'd love feedback on the word centering offset math, the tokenization logic, or if you experience any frame-dropping at higher WPMs.
