Bionic Reading Converter

Convert text into a bionic-reading format that bolds the start of each word to help you read faster.

Letting your eyes lead

Bionic reading bolds the first part of each word and leaves the rest light. The idea is that your eye recognises a word from its opening letters and your brain fills in the remainder, so you can move through text with less effort. Whether it works is personal, but many readers — especially those who find long text tiring — say it helps them keep pace and focus.

Paste your text and it is reformatted with those leading letters emphasised.

Who tends to find it useful

People often reach for it when concentration is the challenge rather than comprehension — long articles, dense material, or simply a tired afternoon. It is also of interest to some readers with attention difficulties. It is not a magic speed-reading trick and it will not suit everyone, so the honest test is simply to try it on a paragraph and see whether your eyes move more easily.
