I’ve found with this type of text that if I try to read it normally, I struggle to process the change between the start and end of each word, and read much more slowly. If I try to read quickly though, it flows, as if I’m skimming the words but still understanding them properly.
Oddly enough, I find myself processing text with a regular font in both ways from time to time. Sometimes it flows like I’m reading half of the words but still absorbing every bit. Other times I notice the end of a paragraph and can’t tell you what I just read.

It’s a very strange feeling :)
Yeah I had a Firefox plugin earlier that turned all text to bionic, and I loved and hated it at the same time
Especially since it feels like you’re reading in 1fps. It feels like stuttering
It’s a loosening of control, I think. Let the wheel turn on its own, you’re still there to steer as needed, but let the inertia do the work. 🤓
what plugin?
I think it was bionic reader.
I don’t want to link to the plugin, since I don’t really know if it’s safe to use so evaluate yourself
