Bold Reader — Read Faster

Bold the first letters of every word to read faster and easier — on web pages, text files, and PDFs. One-click on/off.

Read faster, with less effort. Bold Reader makes the first few letters of every word bold — a technique often called "bionic reading." Those heavier word-beginnings give your eyes clear points to land on, so they move through text more smoothly. Long articles, emails, research papers, and documentation feel quicker and less tiring — something many readers, especially those with ADHD or dyslexia, find genuinely helpful. WHERE IT WORKS • Any web page — articles, news, blogs, docs • Plain-text files opened in Chrome (.txt, .md, .log, .csv) • PDFs — opened in a clean, built-in reader view ONE-CLICK CONTROL • Flip the effect on or off instantly from the toolbar • Your choice is remembered as you move from page to page PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your reading never leaves your browser. Bold Reader restyles text on your device and does not collect, track, or transmit the pages you read. Free, with no ads and no account. Install it, open anything you need to read, and let your eyes do less work.
