His aim was to make reading easier by \u201cguiding the eyes through artificial fixation points.\u201d What the heck does that mean?<\/p>\n<p>In the image at the top of this page, you can see the first three letters of the word \u201cBionic\u201d are in bold. The word \u201cReading\u201d has the first four letters in bold. This is how all words are presented in Bionic Reading. You can see the difference compared to regular text in the image below.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-808043\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/bionic-reading-e1653596935387.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Bionic Reading example.\" width=\"650\" height=\"384\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The idea is your eyes focus on the bolded part of the word and your brain completes the rest. Your brain can read faster than your eyes, so by essentially reducing the number of letters your eye needs to look at, you can <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/44701\/learn-to-read-faster-with-these-speed-reading-tools\/\">read faster while still retaining the full context<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It may look like a simple font, but it\u2019s actually quite a bit more than that. A font wouldn\u2019t be able to change certain parts of words. The Bionic Reading API can be used by developers to make it a text option in <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>s.
