Frequently Asked Questions
What is bionic reading?
Bionic Reading highlights the first few letters of each word to create visual anchors that guide eye movement. This browser-based tool processes your text locally without uploading data to external servers. Users with dyslexia or ADHD often report that these artificial fixation points help maintain reading flow and reduce eye strain.
What fixation level should I use?
Start with the default Medium setting to gauge how your eyes respond to the visual anchors. Adjust the percentage of highlighted letters in the tool settings if you find yourself still reading every letter or if the guidance feels too distracting. Experienced speed readers often lower the percentage for subtle guidance, while those needing stronger cues increase it.
Does it work for people with dyslexia or ADHD?
The visual anchors created by this tool help maintain reading flow and reduce the tendency to re-read lines for many users with reading difficulties. Since processing happens entirely on your device, you can experiment with high-contrast modes to find the best visibility for your specific needs. Individual results vary, but the reduced cognitive load often leads to improved comprehension during longer sessions.
Can I convert entire ebooks?
Yes, you can import PDF or EPUB documents up to 5MB directly into the application for local processing. The tool extracts the text content and applies the bionic reading format before you export the result as a new PDF, EPUB, or image file. This allows you to generate multi-page documents compatible with e-readers or print them immediately.
Why is high contrast better?
High-contrast mode renders the highlighted letters with bolder weight to make fixation points more pronounced and easier to spot. This setting is particularly useful for longer reading sessions or for users who require stronger visual cues to maintain focus. You can toggle this mode instantly in the tool before exporting your final document.
