I wish English would use something like this. It would make things so much easier for children who are learning to read. Of course, then you went and spoiled it by adding additional rules like English does; "i before e except after c. . ."!

I liked the look of the two "page" reader and can see a number of apps for students. As Patricia said, it would be a great way for students to consult to separate texts which happens frequently when studying.

Oh, and I LOVE my liseuse!
