I am very glad that Bionic Reading is being discussed in HN. I am aware that it cannot help everyone. But I also get a lot of feedback from people who are helped a lot by this reading mode.

Imagine you have problems with reading. You don't realize what a huge hurdle that is until you talk to people who are affected.

Being ashamed in front of society. The problem of learning new things. Being called stupid. And these are just a few examples of people affected.

Therefore I thank you very much that you discuss the problem critically. Best regards from the Alps, Renato

I saw the opacity features but I was curious to see if with that feature, the bold text could stay as-is, and the regular text could take on lower opacity so that the full word is still there but only the bold parts are in full color. The opacity demo showed the whole paragraph as taking on an opacity reduction. I’m wondering if making the regular letters less opaque would disrupt the flow or further help focus on the important bits in bold?

I'd love to see an utility on the site that I can paste a paragraph of text and run it through to see it in action.

You did such a service to society by patenting this. Bravo.

I spotted a couple of language issues on the webpage. "most concise parts of words" doesn't make sense, as "concise" means brief or short. Maybe you meant "important"? "very great" isn't proper English.

Nice work!

This would be an awesome enhancement to Pocket- which already extracts web page texts into a lighter format - I'd probably read everything through that
