I got the idea a while back but since I'm a complete develop-noob, I thought I'd post the idea here to see if someone who can program - or is learning to - would pick it up and give it a try.

RSVP stands for "rapid serial visual presentation" and I got the idea from this Firefox plugin (addon)

Looks to me like that NDS lends itself perfectly for this. The words on the top screen, and the controls on the touch screen. Put a .txt file in the folder and you're good to go, and beam e-books and other text into your head where ever you go.

I tried it, and it is so tiring after a few sentences. You need to concentrate really hard, or else you will miss out on a large chunk. Maybe add something like only advance the text when a button is held down so you can pause at any time?

Shouldn't be too hard to write though. Get text. Divide along spaces. Display first word on screen. Wait a few milliseconds. Display next word. Repeat.

The former sounds like an extra option, like the R or L button, or whatever button the user wants. Holding down a shoulder button can cause some cramps.
And if you found it tiring, perhaps you should try to start slow and work your way up.

And the way you explained the coding sounds simple, but I do believe that you're forgetting a number of key options. But perhaps I can give it a try myself, and add more options later on.

Any recommendations what program to use to write it?
