Textual content speed player

A computer implemented method of presenting textual content, comprising:

• (a) a pagination process that displays a body of text on a computerized display by compiling a selection of consecutive textual content from a file containing textual content so that the selection begins with undisplayed textual content found closest to a start of the file and ends with textual content that either fills the computerized display, precedes a page break or is last in the file,
• wherein after the selection displayed in the body of text has been subjected to a highlight process the body of text is removed from the computerized display and the pagination process repeats;
• (b) the highlight process that applies a text highlight to a current word element in the body of text for a duration of time,
• wherein the current word element is selected from a group comprising a word and a word group,
• wherein the word is a word found closest to a start of the body of text that has not had the text highlight applied to it,
• wherein the word group is a consecutive series of words lead-off by the word with a number of words following the word,
• wherein the current word element is determined by searching a database containing known word elements,
• wherein the text highlight is a variation in aesthetic qualities of the current word element intended to make the current word element stand out from all other textual content in the body of text,
• wherein the duration of time is a product of a length of time a text element is highlighted determined via user settings and a quantity of the text element assigned to the current word element,
• wherein the text element is selected from a group comprising a syllable and a word,
• wherein when the duration of time has expired the text highlight is removed from the current word element and the highlight process repeats unless the current word element contains a word that is last in the file which stops the computer implemented method of presenting textual content,
• wherein every instance that the duration of time expires on the current word element constitutes a current word cycle;
• and
• (c) displaying an additional expression in an additional position on the computerized display while the text highlight is applied to the current word element,
• wherein the additional expression is a series of character elements which comprise the current word element,
• wherein said character elements are selected from a group comprising letters, numbers, spaces, symbols and punctuation,
• wherein the additional position is a centralized location on the computerized display within the body of text that is different from a location of the current word element.

• and
• (c) displaying a current pictorial representation in one or more current pictorial positions on the computerized display while the text highlight is applied to the current word element,
• wherein the current pictorial representation is pictorial digital media selected from a group comprising a still image and a moving image,
