CanRead extracts a stream of text from an e-book and hands it to Spritz, a technology that shows one word at a time, with one letter highlighted at the optimal recognition point to help a reader quickly grasp each word.
CanRead was created at the Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Creative Codefest, a hackathon that took place in Boston, MA on June 26-27, 2015.
