AFSpritz

A complete Spritz SDK for iOS

##CocoaPods

AFSpritz is on CocoaPods, so you can get the pod by adding this line to your Podfile

pod 'AFSpritz', '~> 1.3'

If not, just import these files to your project:

AFSpritzManager.h
AFSpritzManager.m
AFSpritzWords.h
AFSpritzWords.m
AFSpritzLabel.h
AFSpritzLabel.m
NSTimer+Blocks.h
NSTimer+Blocks.m
NSTimer+Control.h
NSTimer+Control.m

##Usage

First of all, import AFSpritzManager.h to your class

#import "AFSpritzManager.h"

Initialise AFSpritzManager assigning a text and a number of words per minute, that will determine the speed of the reading. Theorically, there's no limit, but the more confortable speed is 200-250 words per minute. However, Spritz is made for let you read more than 500 words per minute.

AFSpritzManager *manager = [[AFSpritzManager alloc]initWithText:@"Welcome to AFSpritz! Spritz is a brand new revolutionary reading method that will help you to improve your number of words per minute. Take a look at AFSpritz!" andWordsPerMinute:250];

Then, call the block that will update the Spritz label

[manager updateLabelWithNewWordAndCompletion:^(AFSpritzWords *word, BOOL finished) {

    if (!finished) {

		//Update the AFSpritzLabel

    } else {
        NSLog(@"Finished!");
    }
}];

###Checking the status

typedef NS_ENUM(int, AFSpritzStatus) {
	AFSpritzStatusStopped,
	AFSpritzStatusReading,
	AFSpritzStatusNotStarted,
	AFSpritzStatusFinished
};

AFSpritz has the feature of checking in each moment the status of the reading using -status:.

Example:

if ([manager status:AFSpritzStatusReading]) {
	// The current status is reading
} else if ([manager status:AFSpritzStatusNotStarted]) {
	// The current status is not started yet
}  else if ([manager AFSpritzStatusStopped]) {
	// The current status is stopped, so it can be resumed
} else if ([manager AFSpritzStatusFinished]) {
	// The current status is finished
}

###Pausing and resuming

Now you can pause and resume your reading just calling these two methods:

[manager pauseReading];

[manager resumeReading];

##AFSpritzLabel API

AFSpritzLabel is an incredible, well crafted and 100% AFSpritzWords-compatible UIView subclass that will let you show your Spritz reading.

You can customize many properties from AFSpritzLabel, such as:

Property	Class	Required	Default	Description
word	AFSpritzWords	Yes	nil	Determines the AFSpritzWords-subclassed word to show.
markerColor	UIColor	No	Red	Determines the color of the letter you're supposed to be focused on.
markeringLinesColor	UIColor	No	Black	Determines the color of the lines around the word.
textColor	UIColor	No	Black	Determines the color of the text.
textFont	UIFont	No	System font with size 20	Determines the font of the text.
backgroundColor	UIColor	No	White	Determines the color of the background.

##Wishlist

1. Customize speed throught the number of words per minute.

2. Stop and resume the reading.

3. Add a little stop when there's a stop on the text (. … : , ! ?).

4. Restart the reading.
