What is bionic reading?
Bionic reading is a formatting style that bolds the beginning of each word. The bold letters act as anchors, and your brain completes the rest of the word, which some readers find faster and less tiring.
Does bionic reading really work?
Results vary. Controlled studies have not found a big speed boost on average, but many people say it helps them concentrate. The easiest way to know is to try it on your own reading.
Can I paste the result into Word or Google Docs?
Yes. Copy it as rich text and the bold formatting is kept when you paste it into most word processors and email apps.
