About Bionic Reading Converter
Bionic reading is a text format that bolds the first part of each word to give the eye fixed anchor points. This converter bolds the first 45 percent of the letters in every word, rounded up, so a one or two letter word has its first letter bold and a seven letter word its first four. The result is shown as formatted text on the page. Research on whether the format improves reading speed is limited, and results vary by reader.
