 Easy to use image comparison based auto splitter for speedrunning on console or PC.
 
-This program compares split images to a capture region of any window (OBS, Streamlabs, etc.) and automatically hits your split hotkey when there is a match. It can also be used to start and reset your timer, allowing for it to take full control of starting, splitting, and resetting your timer without ever having to touch a hotkey. It can be used in tandem with any speedrun timer that accepts hotkeys (LiveSplit, wsplit, etc.), but can be integrated with LiveSplit.
+This program can be used to automatically start, split, and reset your preferred speedrun timer by comparing images to a capture region. This allows you to focus more on your speedrun and less on managing your timer. It also improves the accuracy of your splits. It can be used in tandem with any speedrun timer that accepts hotkeys (LiveSplit, wsplit, etc.), and can be integrated with LiveSplit.

 ### Comparison Method
 
 - There are three comparison methods to choose from: L2 Norm, Histograms, and pHash.
-  - L2 Norm: This method finds the difference between each pixel, squares it, and sums it over the entire image and takes the square root. This is very fast but is a problem if your image is high frequency. Any translational movement or rotation can cause similarity to be very different.
+  - L2 Norm: This method should be fine to use for most cases. it finds the difference between each pixel, squares it, and sums it over the entire image and takes the square root. This is very fast but is a problem if your image is high frequency. Any translational movement or rotation can cause similarity to be very different.
   - Histograms: An explanation on Histograms comparison can be found [here](https://mpatacchiola.github.io/blog/2016/11/12/the-simplest-classifier-histogram-intersection.html). This is a great method to use if you are using several masked images.
   - pHash: An explanation on pHash comparison can be found [here](http://www.hackerfactor.com/blog/index.php?/archives/432-Looks-Like-It.html). It is highly recommended to NOT use pHash if you use masked images. It is very inaccurate.
-- Note: v1.0 used L2 Norm.

 - The settings in the settings file include split image directory, capture region, capture region dimensions, fps limit, threshold and pause time settings, all hotkeys, "Group dummy splits when undoing/skipping" check box, "Loop Split Images" check box, and "Auto Start On Reset" check box.
+- You can save multiple settings files, which is useful if you speedrun multiple games.
 - If you are upgrading to Windows 11, it's possible that save files may not transfer perfectly. You may need to readjust or reselect your Capture Region, for example.
 
 ## LiveSplit Integration
