I don't have #ADHD but let me know if you do and if this works.

No ADHD as far as I know, but Autistic and Dyslexic and this just seems distracting to me, and almost harder to read than standard text due to the mid-word changes

there is one, but they've tried (succeeded?) to patent the idea and charge money for it

I have #adhd and actually didn't find it too helpful. My eyes wanted to focus only on the bold, but I was not getting complete words, so I needed to keep going back and it took longer than should have.

That, of course, is only my experience and this could be extremely helpful for someone else

I've been seeing mixed responses but I'd like to possible release a bionic version as an option for my novel?

from what I hear it still depends greatly on the individual. Bf has ADHD and his reading speed is the same, I have ADHD and dyslexia and my reading speed is greatly improved with it, and my 13yo had ADHD and dyslexia and he thinks it's worse 🤷‍♀️

this needs a version with average boldness too, to compare this method to 'regular text'!

no diagnosis, only suspicions, but seems to work on this tiny sample size. Would need to try with a browser plugin or something similar.

I have ADHD. I'd need to test this method on a much larger text corpus to tell if it was really upping my speed, or if I'm just entertained by the novelty of it for the length of a paragraph. I believe there's a chance for formatting innovation like this to be helpful, though; I have tested serial visual presentation software before, and it does work for higher speed, but feels stressfully punishing on lapses of attention.

I don't have ADHD, I mean I think so cause you need to be diagnosed by a professional, and I can read this lightning fast, thanks for the discover.

Sorry for the multi toot, but how did you format your text like this ?
in reply to Laurent ☕ ᓚᘏᗢ

@Olivares not my work but a text converter exists

I'm not neurodiverse, but I would love an eReader that did this.
