Welcome to WordWizard, a cross-platform desktop application designed to evaluate word reading speed.
WordWizard is a tool primarily designed for educators, providing a simple and engaging way for students to improve their reading skills. The application presents a list of words to the student, recording the time taken to read them. This allows for a quantifiable measure of a student's reading speed, aiding in their linguistic development.
WordWizard is built using a robust and modern tech stack:
- Rust: A language empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
- React: A JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
- Tauri: A framework for building lightweight, secure desktop apps with web technologies.
- Mantine: A React components and hooks library for building flawless user interfaces.
