Copy HTML for pasting into WordPress, Notion, or any CMS, or download a standalone .html file with inline styles that keeps bold fixation and dimmed remainders intact. The markup uses semantic <b> tags, so screen readers and search engines still read natural text..md and .markdown files — or paste Markdown and hit Read md — to render headings, bold, italic, lists, quotes, code blocks and links as formatted bionic text.

Edit, then copy Markdown or download bionic-reading.md for your vault or repo.Bionic reading is a reading technique that bolds the first few letters of each word to create artificial fixation points.

Many readers report faster scanning and better focus, especially with dense non-fiction. Bionic reading is not a magic speed-reading switch and results vary by person and text.
