I get what you mean, but it's not as if you're reading it out. I'd say I read pretty fast: my eyes skim quickly across the page and I understand what is written there, but it's as if the voice in my head is reading it out to me at the same speed as I'm reading. It doesn't slow anything down.
- onion2k 11y agoIt doesn't slow anything down. That depends. Some readers do what is known as "subvocalization"[1], where they literally speak the words they're reading, but silently, actuating the muscles in their tongue and throat as if they were speaking aloud. If you're doing that then it does slow you down. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subvocalization https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subvocalization
