Due to this being Trademarked in America we can not call the implementation anything similar to the trademarked name "Bionic Reading"

For good faith we should also try to implement some code to check against location or specific timezones and disable the implementation in locations where it is patented (currently only France)

This serves as an example implementation.

I would love to see a similar implementation on Kavita!

Here is the patent and trademark discussion on the Obsidian sub (https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/comments/uv995v/bionic_reading_seems_great_but_patent_is_a_bummer/). I am sure it will not be much of a problem.

A chrome extension has already been made, https://github.com/ansh/bionic-reading, in case the code can be helpful.

Chrome extension makes this very easy to implement, thanks for the link @mohitmujawdiya

You're most welcome @majora2007, thanks for such an amazing piece of software!

@majora2007,
I'd love this to and it would really help those of us with dyslexia.

Here is an example formula for python to accomplish this,.

`
def dyslexia_assistance(text):
"""
Applies a text formatting technique to assist with dyslexia by highlighting the first half of each word.

Args:
text: The input text to be processed.

Returns:
The formatted text with highlighted characters.
"""

words = text.split()
formatted_text = ""

for word in words:
half_length = len(word) // 2
first_half = word[:half_length]
second_half = word[half_length:]
formatted_word = f"\033[1m{first_half}\033[0m{second_half} "
formatted_text += formatted_word

return formatted_text

Example usage:

text = "This is an example of dyslexia assistance."
formatted_text = dyslexia_assistance(text)
print(formatted_text)
