Bionic-Reading for your proposals!?
Kevin Aires
I take your team's headshots - remotely! We specialise in working with multi-site professional services companies like solicitors, accountants and franchise networks.
As bid or proposal professionals, you put a lot of effort into making your content great and your copy scan. But what if there was a way to make it actually easier for your reader to read it by feeding your text into a magical machine? Wouldn't that be amazing!....
Well you can!... it's called Bionic Reading
(I'm intrigued to see what Federal bid writers make of this!)
This new approach is based on research that helps the brain consume content more easily and quickly by emboldening key parts of the words. The idea is your brain simply reads the key parts of the words and fills in the blanks. You simply feed in your text and it does the rest for you. So... here's the same article again but now using the Bionic Reading approach.
Please let me know whether you find it easier to read than the original version of the article.
Comment on this post and I'll send you the link to the free tool.
We've had a revolution in the Aires household. After too long of messing about with old vaccum cleaners (even ones that were good in their day - Mieles and Dysons) we are taking them to the skip (see photo!) and have invested in..... A SHARK!

What do you think? Did you find it easier to read. If I get some great feedback on it perhaps I'll create all my articles using this tool! Remember if you comment I'll DM you the link to the tool if you like. :)

2 年Kevin Aires can you put this in the PIE community, too, under "technology?" I'm curious about what folks might have to say there :)

2 年I cannot say if it was easier or more difficult because I had already read your article therefore I could read it faster. I could only tell you if I read a brand new post.
