1. A computing device comprising:
- a display device;
one or more processors;
memory; and
one or more computer-executable instructions stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors to perform operations comprising;
receiving input to initiate a procedure to determine values of content output features to increase a reading speed of an individual;
displaying first text content on the display device according to a first set of content output features, the first set of content output features including at least a first font size;
determining a first amount of time elapsed for the individual to read the first text content;
determining a first reading speed for the individual based at least partly on a first number of words included in the first text content and the first amount of time;
displaying second text content on the display device according to a second set of content output features, the second set of content output features including at least a second font size that is different from the first font size;
determining a second amount of time elapsed for the individual to read the second text content;
determining a second reading speed for the individual based at least partly on a second number of words included in the second text content and the second amount of time;
determining that the second reading speed is faster than the first reading speed; and
displaying additional text content on the display device according to the second set of content output features.

Abstract
A computing device may output content including text content, audio content, and video content according to one or more content output features. The content output features may include font features and page layout features for text content, volume and playback rate for audio content, and playback rate for video content. In some cases, a consumption rate of content by the individual may be determined to identify values of content output features that may increase consumption of content by the individual. The settings for the content output features may be modified to correspond with the values that provide increased consumption of content.

6. A method comprising:
-
determining, by one or more computing devices including at least one processor and memory, that a first value of a content output feature is to be modified with respect to content displayed by a display device, the content output feature corresponding to at least one visual characteristic of the content; determining, by the one or more computing devices, that a first amount of a first portion of the content that is included in a first user interface displayed by the display device according to the first value is consumed by an individual over a first period of time; determining, by the one or more computing devices, a first rate of consumption of the first portion of the content by the individual based at least partly on the first amount of the first portion of the content consumed by the individual and a first duration of the first period of time; determining, by the one or more computing devices, that a second amount of a second portion of the content that is included in a second user interface displayed by the display device according to a second value of the content output feature is consumed by the individual over a second period of time; determining, by the one or more computing devices, a second rate of consumption of the second portion of the content by the individual based at least partly on the second amount of the second portion of the content consumed by the individual and a second duration of the second period of time; determining, by the one or more computing devices, that the second rate of consumption is greater than the first rate of consumption; and determining, by the one or more computing devices, that additional content is to be displayed by the display device according to the second value of the content output feature. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computing device comprising:
-
a display device; one or more processors; memory; and one or more computer-executable instructions stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors to perform operations comprising; determining one or more first values of one or more content output features that are associated with a first rate of content consumption; determining one or more second values of the one or more content output features that are associated with a second rate of content consumption that is greater than the first rate of content consumption; displaying text of an electronic book in a user interface according to a value of a content output feature included in the one or more content output features; determining that a rate of consumption of the electronic book has changed; identifying a modified value of the content output feature from the one or more second values of the one or more content output features; and displaying additional text of the electronic book in an additional user interface according to the modified value of the content output feature. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
