1. Light control 光源控制
As the picture on the right shows, there are two unexpected white curves together with the WordBlink. They result from my two fingers which reflect the screen’s background light. (However, somebody would love such noise. Who knows?) From my perspective, in order to make good use of this App, please pay attention to the following three aspects:
1. the screen’s background light,
2. the status bar for Android v4.0 or up,
3. the reflected light by the screen.
如右图所示,夜明字旁伴随着两条意外的白线。它们是作者指尖对屏幕背景照明的反光。(固然,总有人会喜欢这样的干扰。谁说得清呢?)在我看来,为了能更好地发挥这款应用,还是请您注意一下下列三个因素:
1. 屏幕的背景照明;
2. 状态栏,对于安卓4.0及以上版本
3. 屏幕对周围光源的反射光

2. Speed control 速度控制
As the picture on the right shows, the spaces among neighboring characters are not even. Because the time intervals among neighboring characters are the same, the only explanation for this phenomenon is the unsteady speed. In other words, please feel free to create more wonderful patterns as you like!
如右图所示,每个字母之间的距离很不平均。因为字母之间的时间间隔是一致的,所以对于这种现象的唯一解释是不均匀的速度。换句话说,请您尽情创造更多的你眼中的极品造型吧!

3. Brightness adjust 亮度调整
As the picture on the left shows, all the characters are too bright to tell their displayed colors. Also, it could happen that all the characters are too dark to tell their displayed colors! Theoretically, you can solve this problem by adjusting the light sensitivity of your camera, the brightness of your screen or the brightness of WordBlink. Be patient please and you can finally handle brightness.
如左图所示,所有的字符由于过于明亮而不能区分它们本身的颜色了。当然,相反地,字符也有可能由于过分暗淡而不能区分它们本身的颜色。理论上说,你能通过调整相机的光敏度,屏幕的亮度或夜明字的亮度来解决这类问题。请您耐心一些,相信您总会熟练掌控亮度的!

4. Motion trail adjust 拖尾效果调整
As the picture on the right shows, characters could be unclear if their motion trails are too heavy, especially those complicated Chinese characters. The recommended method to address this problem is to decrease the exposure of WordBlink. You can also solve it by decreasing your motion speed, which may in turn make your WordBlink brighter. I’d rather keep certain amount of motion trail. After all, the motion trail is very splendid, isn't it?
如右图所示,由于拖尾效果过强,一些字符变得不是那么清晰,特别是那些复杂的汉字。一个推荐的解决办法是剪短夜明字的曝光时间。当然,您也可以减慢移动速度,但这样做会在一定程度上让夜明字变亮。我情愿保留适当的拖尾效果。毕竟,拖尾效果还是非常灿烂的,不是吗?

5. Timing 节奏
Last but not least, as the picture on the left shows, bad timing may lead to characters missing or disordering. Don’t worry! I believe that it must be a very common and annoying problem with most beginners. Here, I list out four possible solutions.
1. Increase the shutter duration of your camera or decrease the duration of WordBlink, so that you can easily make sure that WordBlink is included in the shutter duration.
2. Intentionally put extra spaces ahead of or behind your sentence. For example, if you are slow, when you want to display “Hello, NY”, you always get “Hello,” without “NY”. In this case, you can put three extra spaces behind, that is “Hello, NY!!!” (! represents space). On the contrary, if you are fast, you may always get “llo, NY” without “He”. In this case, you can put three extra spaces ahead, that is “!!!Hello, NY”. Of cause, you can also make your sentence as “!!!Hello, NY!!!”.
3. Make use of WordBlink’s Repeat function. Take a breath and start WordBlink earlier than your camera. At least, you can get a full effective word string, such as “NY Hello,” or “lo, NY Hel”. Interesting, right? Most importantly, there is no end for a circle! In other words, this trick will always work if you circle your mobile phone!
4. Use more mobile phones or cameras! Be alive for the moment!
最后,如左图所示,不好的节奏感可能导致文字丢失或乱序。不要担心!我相信,这一定是极度困扰初学者的一个普遍问题。这里,我列出了四种可能的解决途径。
1. 延长相机的快门时间或缩短夜明字的时长。这样,你就可以轻松的保证夜明字被相机的快门时间包含了。
2. 故意在你的句子前或后增加空格。比如,假设你过于淡定,当你想展示“张则羿到此一游”的时候,你总是得到“张则羿到此一”,少了一个“游”。这样,你可以在句子后面加两个空格,变成“张则羿到此一游!!”(!代表空格)。相反,假设你是个急性子,你可能总是得到“则羿到此一游”,少了一个“张”。这样,你可以在句子前面加两个空格,变成“!!张则羿到此一游”。当然,你也可以把句子变成“!!张则羿到此一游!!”。
3. 利用夜明字的循环功能。缓口气,然后在相机开始之前先启动夜明字。至少,你一定可以得到所有的有效文字,比如“到此一游张则羿” 或“此一游张则羿到”。很有趣,对吧?最重要的是,圆圈是没有端点的。换句话说,如果你把手机绕圈的话,这招一定奏效!
4. 使用更多的手机或照相机!活在当下!
