How to Use Bionic Reading on Chrome or Edge in 2024

As to the facts, our minds can read faster than our eyes. Our mind can recognize the texts without even reading them by just looking at the first and last letter of the word to see if they are placed correctly. Bionic Reading is based on a similar fact, which bolds/highlights the first few letters of the word so that our eyes only read the highlighted letters, but our mind understands the whole word. 

Bionic reading improves our reading speed, especially if the text is long. Not only does this improve the reading speed but also helps people with Dyslexia understand the text better. You can get the Bionic Reading on your browser and use it for web pages you visit.
