 Tofu 2.0.1
Tofu is... different. It is a novel application to address the common
problem that people don't like reading text on the screen. Why is that
anyway? I believe there are two main reasons: line width and visual
instability. Text is usually very wide on the screen, which makes going
from the end of one line to the beginning of the next difficult. That's
why newspapers have narrow columns: It makes them faster to read. So why
not just take a normal window and make it narrower, scrolling down as
you need? Well, there are usually a lot of lines in a text, and all look
more or less the same, so if they move past your eyes vertically, they
are difficult to keep track of. The text doesn't feel stable, and you
get lost easily. In Tofu, text is arranged in columns, and each column
is only as high as your window. So lines are nice and narrow, they don't
move about vertically, plus your text is now in easy-to-digest chunks.
You just scroll from column to column horizontally, and feel more in
control. Tofu also includes some other useful features to make reading
easier for you. You can jump to any point in your text by simply typing
some letters near it (without choosing any command first). There's a
system-wide Service so you can, for example, grab some text from a web
page. And it lets you use your voice to navigate text, so you can
literally sit back and read.
