A better way to make your text readable is to: 1. make it short 2. use simple words 3. use lists I feel 80% of text is just filler.
I suppose the more common version is "this article could have been expressed as a tweet!"

The rules implemented are very simple (taken from the patent application [1], the exact numbers are configurable). If there are 4 letters, 40% of all letters are bold. There is this claim as the first text on the website: We are happy if as many people as possible can use the advantage of Bionic Reading. For this reason, Bionic Reading should be able to be integrated into existing apps and services. The benefit for t…
You could reduce this to just rounding using the 40% rule + minimum of 1 bold letter right? 1 * .4 = .4, 1 bold letter (minimum) 2 * .4 = .8, 1 bold letter 3 * .4 = 1.2, 1 bold letter 4 * .4 = 1.6, 2 bold letters etc.
There is a similar technology that flashes the words in place as you read. I remember it making the rounds a few years ago. https://spritz.com/

I wonder how bolding more on uniqueness would work? Instead of just first characters. For instance now THeir and THere will be bolded the same, on a quick glance that can be confusing. (Using caps as HN can't do bold) Would it increase pattern recognition in the brain if it instead was THeIr and THeRe, or some other variant where the bolding highlights the unique parts of a word compared to other common words? Well I…
> Bionic reading aims to encourage a more in-depth reading and understanding of written content by reading faster? I mean the examples are pretty compelling and it did feel like I was reading faster, but at the same time their goals are at odds - faster reading doesn't necessarily mean more attentive reading, or being able to absorb more information. Still, interesting technique. I just wish they made their examples…
