Why You Should Use Bionic Reading in Chrome (or Any Browser): An extension to highlight the most important parts of words - Beehaw

Bionic Reading is a new way of reading text that uses a patented algorithm to highlight the most important parts of words, making it easier and faster to read. The method was developed by a German software developer named Renato Cukar, who was inspired by the way the human eye reads text. Bionic Reading works by highlighting the most important parts of words, which helps the eye to follow the text more smoothly and efficiently. This makes it easier to read longer passages of text, and can also help to improve comprehension. Bionic Reading is available as a free Chrome extension, as well as a mobile app for iOS and Android. It can also be used on websites and in PDFs.

Is this actually legit? I've heard this before but didn't know if it was backed up by any studies. Guess I'll just try it and see for myself

There are not many studies as it is quite "new" but one study does suggest no real improvement - https://blog.readwise.io/bionic-reading-results/
On the other hand, that thing where you flash words past in the same spot does allow massively faster reading. Not faster comprehension, though.
Not quite the same thing, but I like how BOTW and TOTK do a variation of this by changing the color of important/relevant information in NPC dialogue.. It helps you blow through the dialogue much faster without worrying if you missed something critical.
Patented means limited spread, doesn't it?
