Extension Metadata

About this extension
Bionic Reader highlights the leading letters of each word so your eyes can
move faster while your brain fills in the rest.
  • Toggle it on any website from the toolbar or with Ctrl+Alt+B
  • Three fixation strengths (Low / Medium / High)
  • A built-in PDF reader: open a PDF and read it with bionic emphasis while
    keeping the page's original layout — or turn bionic off for the exact page
  • Unicode-aware; keeps contractions intact and leaves numbers unbolded
  • 100% local — your pages and files are never sent anywhere
