Android Application Prototype to Study Text Reading Speed and Comprehension

The paper examines a prototype Android application to investigate text reading speed and comprehension. The two types of reading - informative reading and reading with comprehension, the different metrics for measuring reading speed, as well as the factors affecting this speed are examined. Based on the literature analysis and analysis of existing applications, the functional requirements for such applications have been determined. The development and basic steps in working with the prototype are described. The results of two tests are shown and corresponding conclusions are drawn.
