Bionic Reader

A simple Chrome extension that makes reading faster by highlighting the first part of each word.

What it does

This extension transforms regular text into "bionic reading" format - it bolds the beginning of each word so your eyes can scan through text more quickly. Many people find this helps them read 20-30% faster.

How to use it

  1. Install the extension
  2. Click the extension icon in your browser toolbar
  3. Click "Enable" to turn on bionic reading for the current page
  4. Adjust the intensity slider to find what works best for you
  5. Check "Auto-apply to new pages" if you want it to work automatically

That's it! The extension will highlight text on the page to help you read faster.

Installation

  1. Download the extension files
  2. Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions/
  3. Turn on "Developer mode" in the top right corner
  4. Click "Load unpacked" and select the folder with the extension files

Building from source

If you want to build the extension yourself:

npm install
npm run build

The built extension will be in the dist folder.
