Line Reader is one simple software could help guide your eyes while reading, making digesting long electronic documents easier and more efficient.

Line Reader addresses a dilemma that we all face at some point - how to manage reading long documents online. If we were reading a book or printed article, we could use an index card to mark our place and guide the path of our vision. Since holding an index card up to your computer screen is impractical, we've created Line Reader to navigate you through the rough waters of electronic documentation.

With Line Reader, your mouse cursor transforms into a convenient reading aid, taking the form of a horizontal line that you use to track your spot in any online document or web page. You can customize the length, width, and color of your line, as well as invoke a secondary helper line that serves to further emphasize the location of your cursor. One click, and your line flips to the vertical, which is handy for highlighting entire paragraphs, steps in a recipe, or assembly instructions.

As amazingly useful as Line Reader is, we've made it even better by including some convenient bonus features! First, there's the Magnifier Window, which offers an enlarged view of anything that you hover your line cursor over and a screen grabber. Then there's the Measurement Window that gives you the capability to measure anything that you can see on your computer screen. Finally, we have the Tag Along Form Window, a resizable, customizable box that attaches to your line cursor and serves as a appointment reminder, image holder, or text box.

Top Tips on Getting Started Using Line Reader
1. Setting Up Line Reader
Use the main Line Reader software window to set the width, height, and color of your line, as well as the position of the line relative to your mouse cursor (left, middle, or right). If you are like to use the Helper Line, check that box now. When you e ready, click on the Start icon on the left side of the window. To deactivate your line, maximize the Line Reader window and click on the Stop icon.

2. Setting Up The Helper Line
You set up the Helper Line in much the same way as you established the settings for the Line Reader line. After setting the color and height of the Helper Line, use the onscreen controls to determine how much space you like between the cursor and the Helper Line. If you are going to use the Helper Line, remember to check the Use Helper Line box on the Line Reader tab.

3. Customizing Tag Along Forms
Use the width and height adjustment meters to customize the size of your tag along form, up to a maximum of 250 by 250 pixels. Your tag along form can contain an image, simple text, or a reminder. To set the contents of your tag along form, just click on the Customize Tag Along Forms tab, then select the Simple Text, Reminder, or Image tab, enter your text, reminder details, or browse to the location of an image file, then click Update Tag Along Form?
Reminders are available in several types, including meetings, phone calls, and other personal notes, and can be further annotated with specific date and timestamps.

4. Using the Magnifier Window
Click on the Magnifier icon to launch the Magnifier Window. Once active, the Magnifier Window will display everything that passes under the Line Reader cursor at an enlarged size. You can set the zoom level of the Magnifier Window from 2 to 36, and the Magnifier Window itself can be resized to your needs. Click the Exit icon in the upper right of the Magnifier Window to close it.

4. Using the Measurement Window
Click on the Measure icon to launch the Measurement Window. Once active, you can take a measurement of any two points on your computer screen simply by using your mouse. Just click and hold on any point on the screen, drag the cursor to the end of your measurement, and release. The measurements that you take are collected in the Measurement Window to export these figures to a text file, just click the Export button. To help guide your mouse during measurements, you can click the On/Off Measurement Line box to turn on a line which will be drawn between your two measurement points. Click the Exit icon in the upper right of the Measurement Window to close it.
