Delay at natural breaks

[explorigin]

Thanks for this, it's pretty cool.

One difference I noticed that makes this less-usable than what is on spritzinc is the use of delays to help the mind form natural breaks. For example, at the end of a sentence try doubling or tripling the delay before the word starting the next sentence. Similarly add more of a delay between paragraphs.

I think this simple change will dramatically improve reading comprehension over the current form.

I've got a change that fixes this pretty easily. I plan on using this script myself!

I actually do a lot of slow downs and over the cases you mention. Probably not a big enough slow down but you could change the values and see what works for you.

I don't do paragraph endings though currently which could be added.

       if(/.[^a-zA-Z\d\s:]./.test(word)) {
            /* slow down for weird(special chars) words */
            this.nextInterval = this.baseInterval * 1.3;
        } else if(word.length > 7) {
            /* slow down for longer words */
            this.nextInterval = this.baseInterval * 1.1;
        } else if(/^[^a-zA-Z\d\s:]/.test(word)) {
            /* slow down for beginning of quote or brackets or weird chars */
            this.nextInterval = this.baseInterval * 1.3;
        } else if(/[^a-zA-Z\d\s:]$/.test(word)) {
            /* slow down for end of sentences */
            this.nextInterval = this.baseInterval * 1.3;
