Yes this is possible; Freda's design certainly supports such a thing. I guess I'd want to implement a box at the top of the page that shows the current word, and a 'highlight' box that moves through the text from one word to the next. When it got to the bottom of the page, Freda would page forward (it would be much harder to implement continuous scrolling). I would need an option to set the speed in words per minute. The tricky case would be a word that was too big to fit inside the RSVP-reading box at the top of the page; I don't know what would be the right thing to do there (maybe just split the word into chunks that are small enough to fit the box, and display them one after the other?).
It's a fairly significant piece of work, so I don't think it will be in version 1.1.
Thanks for using Freda,
Jim
