    Nah, it’s something called Bionic Reading that can help make reading faster for people with ADHD. It’s kinda pseudoscientific tho - I find it works decently for me but it may just be placebo

      Never heard of this, interesting. Read some text with this, and I have a feeling it slows me down, as my eyes stop at each word now. When I read normally my eyes just roll on the text. But afaik I don’t have ADHD.

        The stopping at each word is the point of it for me (I do have ADHD). It makes sure I actually read it and not just scan over it without absorbing it.

        A microsecond pause every word is a lot faster than reading a passage 4 times in order to understand it.

        any sans-serif font that’s used for a text that’s longer than a couple of words is a hindrance for reading
