C++ – Help Reader – Read on a computer more easily

In this post I present a software to concentrate when you are reading PDF, web pages or anything else very easily.

The problem

When you read on your computer, your eyes have to track the text, and this is not easy.
There is too much white, too many lines! Your eyes are tired quickly and it is difficult to be concentrated for several hours on a screen (more than reading on a real book).
But, well sometime you do not want to print every PDF you read (because of the trees or for any other reasons).

My solution

I developed a Software to target the text you read. You can configure colors, behavior etc. It hides some part of the screen and let you see behind the focus area you want.
Then, you can read more easily. I like this software and I developed it for myself.

I share it with you but you may not like it…
I will make video to demonstrate how it work as soon as possible.

But you can look to these pictures (PDF comes from here).

Pdf hard to read

More easy to read with the software

Example in working mode (mouse inside the area)

Example in working mode (mouse OUTside the area)

To know more about options, look to the menu by right clicking on the HelpReader interface, or on the HelpReader icon in the system tray (small icon in the corner of your desktop).
Just notice that, left click on the system tray icon hides/shows the interface and center mouse button close the application.
When resizing the focus area or the window you can press:
Shift – Symmetric resizing
Control – Moving

You can choose the colors, the opacity and everything else.
You can save your configuration as a preset, etc.
