Here’s Why Bionic Reading Is Going Viral

Currently, the Bionic Reading Application Programming Interface (API) can be found on the iPhone and the Mac. For iPhone, it is integrated with the apps Reeder 5 and Lire. On the Mac, it can be found on an app called Fiery Feeds. The API Bionic Reading tool is also available for download online. Developers can tweak the tool for higher or weaker highlights, frequency of fixations, contrast, fonts, text characteristics, and more (via iMore).

Like many things worth creating, Bionic Reading was born out of a lucky accident. Renato Casutt came up with the idea during his studies, when he was working on a book written in a foreign language, per Bionic Reading. Casutt realized that by highlighting fragments of written words, his brain connected them to similar words in his own language, words he already knew.

The first version of Bionic Reading was a success among Cassutt’s classmates. They soon discovered they could read and study much faster. Through students, Bionic Reading organically spread to their parents, then came CEOs. Today, Casutt is a typographic designer who has been working with type, form, and text for more than two-and-a-half decades. He is now focused on taking Bionic Reading to the next level.
