I really like the idea of this software. Using time and pacing for public speaking purposes, using certain transitions to emphasize the speed at which something should be spoken. Great idea.
The only thing I think that needs to be added is punctuation. It can be hard to know when a sentence is going to end, and what inflection to use if you think a sentence is continuing on the next transition when it's not, so your audience might get wrong impressions.
Our contention on punctuation is that its an artifact of text annotated for display on a static medium. With a TextFlow on an active display device, timing and white space can be used to convey those same aspects, as well as others.
