What the fuck. How could bolding half the word make me stutter in my own mind? This is absolutely unreadable. This gave me anxiety the moment i looked at it. This is like that one paragraph that talks about the letters being rearranged. Complete gibberish.
I kept getting distracted by future bold letters and had to reread multiple times. The wording is also strange.
Wow. Web sites should have this option.
There is a firework extension that does this. Or at least there used to be.
Yes please.
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
It would.
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 work
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
Is’t aslo vrey esay to raed olny the frsit and lsat lteters
I thought too fast and now I’m sick
Damn, it actually works.
But how the hell does it work? How…fucking brain is still a mystery
to be honest, it might be just me but i find this even more oberwhelming. its like the text is saying “THINK FAST, READ FAST GO GO GO GO” and yeah idk its more overwhelming
Might be tho because i was a bit stressed out by meself when i wrote this comment, now if i relax i actually just read faster my point stands tho
I feel like you could take a piece of text and do this using python. I should try at some point.
The OpenDyslexic font helped with me. Does a similar thing.
This really doesn’t feel like an ADHD exclusive thing.
I don’t think it’s supposed to be. I think it’s just supposed to be easier for people who don’t have the ADHD that lets them read a book cover to cover while calling deep vein thrombosis a punk ass bitch who wouldn’t dare
I can read it twice as fast and remember less than half of it.
My reading speed was never the problem. It’s the reading comprehension and memory that limits me.
Ah, the “I read three pages but my brain was thinking about bees”
God, this used to annoy me so bad. I’d read the same three paragraphs over and over again, only for my mind to wander immediately every time. I’ve since come to appreciate it though, because my mind usually wanders off to think about potential scenarios in the book I’m actively reading.
Like what two characters might say if they were to have a conversation about something specific, or even how the current situation I’m trying to read about might progress (instead of just focusing on the damn words that give me that answer, thanks brain). Time spent daydreaming about a story I enjoy isn’t time wasted IMO.
Though, it’s admittedly still very annoying when I’m trying to read something boring like a science or news article.
It’s also kind of cool how your brain can both process text and wander off.
What kind of bees?
Didn’t know these existed until yesterday one flew into my home.
It was so big I initially thought it was a hornet
Whose bees?
Yeah, wasp traps to protect bee colonies, are cool.
For me, it’s both your points as well as a matter of current distractions. The real test would be if I could read/write something like this while somebody in the room has an unrelated conversation. Will it still hold my attention without the spoken words around me distracting me? Sadly, I have my doubts.
