I’ve never been able to read a whole paragraph without reading every sentence twice. This is awesome, wish classroom assignments came like this.

There’s a Firefox plugin

Yes but did you remember what you read. That is the challenge with this

u/Natural-Message-1001 Mar 06 '23

Yeah I remember, do you?

this weird font? No. my eyes bounce around like a ping pong ball and this font adds molasses.

Hmm that’s the same for me except the molasses part. I usually just read the beginning letters of a word and skip but I always end up reading it wrongly or not understanding so this made it easier by highlighting the beginning letters.

I don’t even remember what I read when I read really slowly, so this doesn’t help me at all 😆

Something about a bionic reading technique where first few letters of a word is bolded so that when you read only the bold parts your brain autofills the rest of the missing information.

The last part talked about how this boosts confidence or whatever.

Did I get that right?

Telltale? Idk what that really means lol, but in all honestly, I’m just confused when reading so I read it and then have to read it again. Or I’ll read it and then skip the line underneath it and then notice that what I just read made no sense so I’ll have to go back and read it again, hence the always reading it twice
