Sprint reader is "joining" some words #10

Open mverardo opened 9 years ago

mverardo commented 9 years ago

While trying to read the contents of this page, I started noticing that some words are getting skipped.

If you try to read the following paragraph, for instance: "The first master rhetorician Rome produced was the great statesman Cicero..."

You will notice that Sprint Reader is "skipping" (maybe "joining" would be better) some of the words on the very first phrase, getting as a result:

"The first master produced was the great statesman Cicero..."

Steps to reproduce:

1 - Access this link 2 - Find the mentioned paragraph 3 - Select the paragraph and "Sprint read selected text"

Sprint Reader displayed rhetorician Rome for me. I'm not sure why.

Similarly, with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nefertiti_Bust#Later_history , Sprint Reader produces difficult to read segments, like beauty".[13][27][34] and antiquity."[27]. Perhaps these same sets of characters with colorized parts for quote characters, spaces, and bracketed segments might help.
