Need to make the reading text longer though for people such as my super human wife that still had 10 seconds (or more) left after finishing.
It tops out at around 550-600 words per minute.

Slow down there, Jeff Gordon :)
Nah, you're absolutely right. The current passages are 250-300 words.
We'll get them to 400-420 so aliens like your wife can also find their font

I think it could be used as a reading practice for kids who have a hard time reading. It's a wonderful project.

Cool idea! You mean they’d try to beat their WPM best?
What’d be the interaction pattern you’re imagining? First they find their fastest font, then the flow continues to let them use that font to try to get better? Other times they can bypass the font test.
Do you have any reading content suggestions?
I’m imagining they could choose the topic and we’d have a bunch of prebaked stories or information about each.
I guess we can also let them input their first name, or just initials — we validate from a list of common-ish names (so they don’t put something too whacky) — and then the stories or information could include their names. Makes it even more fun and engaging to read. Especially if we the prebaked reading material is positive and empowering. Sesame Street style.
Really like the suggestion. Thanks!

This thing is super cool! One other use case I can think of, is to use it to check reliability of the fonts that I chose in my designs, only if the option to choose a custom font was given.

Will definitely work on that feature. Thanks for checking it out
