About

Epoch Bionic Reader transforms any webpage into bionic reading format, helping you read faster and with better focus.

How it works:
Bionic reading bolds the initial letters of each word, creating natural "fixation points" for your eyes. This guides your reading flow and can significantly increase reading speed while maintaining comprehension.

Features:
• One-click toggle to enable/disable
• Adjustable fixation strength (20-80%)
• Bold weight control (semi-bold to black)
• Keyboard shortcut (Alt+B) for quick toggling
• Live preview of your settings
• Works on any webpage, article, or document

Smart formatting:
• Skips code blocks and preformatted text
• Preserves input fields and editable content
• Respects existing page formatting

100% Private:
All processing happens locally in your browser. No data is collected or transmitted.
