BioRead turns any Hebrew text into bionic reading: the first letters of every word are bolded, so your eyes lock on and move forward without losing the line. If long reading tires you out, you will feel the difference in the first paragraph. How it works • Paste any text, or upload a PDF, Word or EPUB file. • BioRead extracts the text and shows it in bionic format, with correct right-to-left layout and a font that is easy on the eyes. • Tune the emphasis strength, text size and line spacing until reading flows. What's inside • Library: everything you paste or upload is saved, with search across titles and content. • Pick up where you left off: the reader remembers your position in every document. • Bookmarks and tags to organize your material. • Sharing: create a read-only link and send it to a friend, no sign-up needed on their side. • Light and dark mode, or follow the device setting. • Cloud backup: your library is also available on the web at bioread.app. • Full VoiceOver support. Who it's for Students working through long course material, people with ADHD or dyslexia looking for a way to read without fatigue, and anyone who would rather have the text work for them.
