You are absolutely right. I really wasn't aware of it. And therefore I thank you very much for the hint.
I am an open person and am therefore always happy when I can learn something new. Everyone should live as he wants.
We are individuals and I think that's great.
Best regards, Renato
Hi kranner
I didn't mean to offend you. Or misrepresent the culture with a memoji. Sorry. If you feel it's out of order, then I can change it too.
But what is more crucial for me is what Sangeeth said. And that is more important to me.
By the way, all testimonials are real. 100%
Yes, that's just me, Renato Casutt. From a small town in Switzerland.
I discovered BR in my studies as a typographic designer.
And I think it's time to show that typography is not just well-designed text pages. There are also ways to make reading easier for other people with reading difficulties (e.g. dyslexia sufferers).
Hi cardamomo
I understand your skepticism and thank you for your criticism. What you see so far from Bionic Reading is the base. Of course, children should still learn to read. Because only when children have acquired a vocabulary, their brain has the representation products.
Reading is already very well researched. I absolutely agree with you on that. Unfortunately, people are reading worse and worse. There may be many different reasons for this. But I'm sure you agree with me that reading is a cultural asset that everyone must use.
Who reads worse, has thereby no advantage. Doesn't it?
Reading transports knowledge. That's why I think it's important to take a closer look at the way we read.
That's why I get a lot of feedback from people who have dyslexia and can read better again with Bionic Reading.
Thank you for teaching the children and best regards from the Alps,
Renato
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 came across BR during my studies as a typographic designer.
There was a language problem there.
That's why I realized that reading and listening are completely different.
You can understand a language by listening to it.
But reading the same language does not mean that you can understand it.
Yes, corobo
that can be that it prevents you from reading. However, I would argue that you are a speed reader.
One test person in the study was also a speed reader. She had read two different texts. Once with and once without bionic reading. But her speed stayed at 800 wpm each time.
But believe me, there are a lot of people who have difficulty with reading. Surely also in your circle of friends. And for some of them Bionic Reading can help.
Hi mdp2021
I understand your skepticism. The point is that the reader needs a fixed point to absorb the text. That's why this definition is placed.
As shared in other comments, I unfortunately had to make very bad experiences. And the responsibility I perceive among others Marco (feedback website), I do not want to jeopardize.
But I understand your objections.
We have just completed the preliminary study but I cannot publish any results yet.
And you are right, of course. It does not help everyone. That's the way it is. But there is a lot of feedback thanking us and hoping that it will be available to as many services as possible.
Haha...nice
The basic problem with reading is that your eye needs a fixed point...that's why they should be "blocks". This one doesn't have to be at the very beginning though ;)
But cool comment Hehe
Ja ich hatte bereits zwei Browser Extensions (Chrome, Firefox) als Beta-Versionen. Aber die Erkenntnis war, dass sehr viele Websites — da diese ja individuell erstellt werden — keine gute Experience ergab.
Deswegen habe ich mit Silvio Rizzi (Reeder5) getestet, wie es am besten nutzbar gemacht werden kann.
Hab aus Fehlern gelernt, aber wir denken dass es viele Entwickler gibt, die BR in ihren Leseprodukten anbieten möchten...
Aber vielleicht liegen wir da ja auch falsch. Man muss es versuchen und dann weitere Erkenntnis daraus ziehen.
I am alone and I put all my money, time and work into BR. Visible is only a small part. But I think everyone decides for themselves what is best.
But thank you for the critical feedback.
