Frequently asked
What is bionic reading?
It's a text formatting technique that bolds the first part of each word, creating fixation points your eyes can latch onto. The idea is that your brain fills in the rest of each word automatically, potentially helping you read faster.
How much of each word gets bolded?
Roughly the first 40% of each word's letters, rounded up, with at least one letter always bolded, so short words like "a" or "is" still get emphasis.
What's the difference between the two copy buttons?
"Copy result" copies the plain, unformatted text. "Copy as HTML" copies the text with the bolded portions wrapped in <b> tags, ready to paste into an editor or CMS that renders HTML.
Does this actually work?
Research on bionic reading's effect on comprehension and speed is mixed. Some readers find it genuinely helps them stay focused, others notice little difference. It's worth trying on your own text to see if it works for you.
