Reading enhancement tool that uses eye-guiding color gradients to increase reading speed by over 20% and improve focus. Originally created for speed reading, it's also helpful for students with dyslexia, ADHD, or vision impairments. Available as browser extensions, PDF viewer, and iOS app.
BeeLine Reader makes reading on-screen easier, faster, and more enjoyable using a simple cognitive trick — an eye-guiding color gradient — to pull your eyes through long blocks of text. The text at the end of each line is colored the same as the beginning of the next, so the color of the text acts as a flag post that directs the reader's eyes through the text more easily.
BeeLine Reader uses a simple cognitive trick – an eyeguiding color gradient – to pull your eyes from one line to the next, which increases reading speed and enhances focus. The average reading speed increase is over 20%.
A study done by CNET (and covered by The Atlantic) showed that people reading with this technology were 35% more likely to finish an article than reading plain black text.
Originally created as a speed-reading tool, BeeLine Reader is used by high-performing students at the most elite universities in the world, but this technique isn't just for gifted readers—it is also incredibly helpful for students with dyslexia, ADHD, or vision impairments.
Notable additional settings and features include a Focus mode (to minimize distraction while reading) and OpenDyslexic font, and a PDF-specific version of BeeLine for classrooms.
The system is available as an extension in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, as a PDF viewer, and as an iOS app.
While many users report benefits, it's worth noting that some research suggests potential users should keep in mind that BeeLine Reader is a charged application with no clear theoretical underpinnings and may have a detrimental effect on reading speed, reading comprehension, and more subjective readability measures. The effectiveness may vary by individual and reading level.
