Please incorporate bionic reading.

Bionic reading is a new method facilitating the reading process by guiding the eyes through text with artificial fixation points. As a result, the reader is only focusing on the highlighted initial letters and lets the brain center complete the word. In a digital world dominated by shallow forms of reading, bionic reading aims to encourage a more in-depth reading and understanding of written content.

    Hi Adobe Team,
    I’d love to see a native Bionic Reading mode added to Adobe Reader.
    This feature—which bolds the start of words—is a game-changer for people with ADHD and dyslexia, and it helps everyone read long PDFs much faster without losing focus.

    Since you already have a Bionic Reading plugin for InDesign, it makes sense to bring that same functionality to the Reader app so we can toggle it on whenever we’re reviewing documents.
    It would be a huge win for accessibility and productivity in 2025. Please consider adding it to your next update!

    Best,

    Osama Hamouda

    I cannot stress enough what a huge difference this would make to my life personally. I can, however, direct you to TikTok and Facebook, where you'll see the reactions this accessibility tech has been getting recently. PLEASE, Adobe, lead the tide on this one.
