renato_casutt··on Show HN: Bionic Reading – Formats text to make it faster to read
Yes I understand that. Optimal is then if you have set your individual reading setting with Bionic Reading.

And what you have to remember is that your brain has already absorbed the words. So your eye jumps back instead of gliding over the text.

However, this will turn off and you will find that you understand the text without having read every letter.

I am very happy to hear that. I don't think you will have problems if you can't apply BR. But you will probably find that the "reading pull" is less strong without Bionic Reading.

But Bionic Reading actually supports many people who have dyslexia.

However, not in the form of a font, but in the way of highlighting within the text.

A big advantage of Bionic Reading is that the reading setting can be adjusted individually by each reader. In other words, individual.

My finding before the study was that 10% of all readers gain an advantage in Bionic Reading. And 10% is already very much...I find

Thank you for your feedback. My point is simply that the 10% of all people with reading difficulties can benefit... That's why I had written.

But thanks for the hint to use Show HN. And sorry for that.

Yes, you can train and expand your focus. That would be speed reading though. And you have to learn that. Bionic Reading works intuitively.

Hi Arek...congrats on the launch.

Maybe PSPDFKit is interested in integrating Bionic Reading into their products? Take a look at the website (bionic-reading.com) to see if BR can add value to your users.

Let me know if you are interested and best regards from the Swiss Alps, Renato
