About bionic reading

What is bionic reading?

Bionic reading bolds the first part of each word. The idea is that your brain recognises a word from its leading letters, so emphasising them gives your eyes a stable anchor and reduces the back-and-forth (regressions) that slow reading down — especially helpful for ADHD and dyslexic readers.

Does it actually work?

It helps some people a lot and others not at all — it's very individual. The honest answer: try it on a paragraph above and see if your eyes feel calmer. If they do, you'll like reading whole books this way in FocusReader.

Is this tool free?

Yes, completely — no signup, and your text never leaves your browser (the conversion runs entirely on your device).
