How the fast-reading bold converter works

The converter bolds the first portion of each word — roughly the first 40%, scaled by word length — which many readers use as a visual anchor to move through text more quickly. The preview shows the result, and “Copy formatted” places rich text on your clipboard so the bold styling pastes into documents and email.

Frequently asked questions

What is fast-reading bold formatting?

A reading aid that bolds the first few letters of each word to create fixation points for your eyes. Many readers, including some with ADHD or dyslexia, find it helps them read faster and stay focused.

How much of each word is bolded?

Roughly the first 40%, adjusted by word length — one letter for short words, more for longer ones. This gives a consistent visual anchor without over-bolding.

Can I paste the bold formatting into a document?

Yes — “Copy formatted” copies rich text (HTML), so the bold styling is preserved when you paste into a word processor, email or notes app that accepts formatting.

Is this the same as Bionic Reading?

It applies the same general idea — bolding word beginnings as fixation points — but it is an independent, generic implementation and is not affiliated with the trademarked “Bionic Reading” method.

Is my text uploaded?

No — the formatting is generated entirely in your browser.
