Bionic Reading: Improves Text Reading Experience

A web browser extension that streamlines reading by guiding your gaze with artificial fixation points, highlighting the start of each word for a smoother text flow.

What is Bionic Reading?

Bionic Reading is a web browser extension available for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox that makes online text easier to read. It works by using artificial fixation points - subtle gradients made of contrasting colors - that draw the eyes from the beginning to the end of each word in a sentence.

This guides the eyes more fluidly through the text, allowing the brain to process the meaning of sentences faster. Many people find Bionic Reading helps them read webpages, articles, books, and documents more quickly and with better comprehension and retention.

Bionic Reading aims to reduce subvocalization - internally sounding out each word while reading. By leading the eyes better, Bionic Reading may help weaken this common habit and increase reading speed. It also may aid those with reading disorders such as dyslexia to track words more easily.

The browser extension provides multiple color themes to choose from and allows adjusting the strength of the fixation gradients. Upgrading to premium adds features like syncing settings across devices. While some may find Bionic Reading distracting at first, practicing with it can help boost reading performance.
