bionicreading

A reimplementation of the bionic-reading.com API, but free, and done locally, instead of sending all your text to their servers and charging you $99+/mo for the privilege. As a tool aimed at accessibility I think this is a scummy business practice. And after a deep analysis and reverse engineering (read: I used some regex & Excel) I have managed to expertly craft a replacement (read: 10 lines of JavaScript) for those who do not want to use said API.

Usage

Basic

// CJS
const bionic = require("@taylorrobinson/bionicreading");
// ESM
import * as bionic from "@taylorrobinson/bionicreading";

console.log(bionic("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"));

Markdown

console.log(bionic("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog",bionic.md));

Custom

function bbcodeFormatter(boldText,regularText) {
    return "[b]" + boldText + "[/b]" + regularText
}

console.log(bionic("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog",bbcodeFormatter));
