Does Bionic reading really help?

Why?

I saw couple of posts in LinkedIn and then even in TikTok about people raging over Bionic reading so I had to try it out myself. Their reasoning is that brains reads faster than our eyes and that human store learned words so just a few letters are enough to recognize whole words.

How?

They claim to “revise(s) texts so that the most concise parts of words are highlighted.” I decided to experiment with their API and see if it helps me read some long boring azure tutorials.
