The fuck

Attention neurodivergent community - this bionic reading method is absolutely mind blowing. Your eyes scan the first bold letters and your brain center automatically completes the words. It lets you read twice as fast, is less overwhelming and helps you to stay focused. You will feel much more productive and a greater sense of achievement which will boost your confidence and makes you overall feel more positive. Let me know in the comments if this bionic reading method works for you.

Normal text for reference

I used to use a browser extension to do this, mostly liked it until I tried to convert all my ebooks to it as well. It’s works, but it technically splits the words into two objects in order to change the font, which makes searching the book nearly impossible because typing a whole word will no longer find instances of it, instead you have to search for either half. Only an issue for ebooks, but it sort of turned me off of using this in general. Also I believe it’s “technically” copyrighted. I remember encountering something that wanted me to pay to use this. I found alternatives, but still, just left a bad taste in my mouth even though it helped. It did help me naturally read faster even without it, because rather than directly processing each letter I can do a sort of exclusion based search of my vocabulary as I process each letter. After 2 or 3, sometimes 4 letters, and with context I can correctly assume the rest of the word and move on.

This appears to operate on the same speed-reading technique of “read only the spaces.”

It’s considered a beginner technique because although faster methods can be learned, this method can be used by many/most readers on their very first try.

Edit: also I’m not sure it has anything to do with neurodivergence.

Doesn’t this just work for everyone?

I’ve also tried where text/word(s) flashes in front of you and I’ve realized that’s faster for me.

I'm very skeptical, this text was easy, I need to look at a more difficult text using this. I don't think it would actually work

Doesn't work

Thanks now I'm reading the sentences second half first...

Now I read it twice longer

I feel like you could take a piece of text and do this using python. I should try at some point.

Damn, it actually works.

But how the hell does it work? How...fucking brain is still a mystery

The OpenDyslexic font helped with me. Does a similar thing.
