> Your technique seems able to help people who likely learned to read with a ruler hiding upcoming lines, or with a finger pointing at the word they say aloud, and people who read with subvocalization. > Such readers generally process text at not much higher rates than speech, and often prefer audio books or YouTube which add visuals or emotion since reading holds no particular advantage. I'm somewhere in between these - I subvocalize, but at about 2-3 times the speed of speech, and I hate audiobooks/etc. My eyes jump several words at once and I read them individually with my peripheral vision - so the while their example isn't really slowing me down much, it is distracting.
