We were taught "speed reading" in my first year of an electronics diploma. This feels very similar. I found speed reading only good for searching through text. Comprehension and memory goes out the window when I try it. If I want to get information in fast text to speech at 4x speed is more effective.

Yes Bionic Reading is not speed reading. Speed reading has to be learned and it is demonstrably difficult to verify.

Bionic reading does not have to be learned, it happens intuitively. Because we humans read the way we read.
