Real questions. Straight answers.
Honest answers
Does this make you read faster?
Not necessarily. Evidence on bolded-prefix reading is mixed. Waylight is designed to make it easier to begin, keep your place, and return after attention drifts. Try the free version and judge it with your own eyes.
Is this a treatment for ADHD?
No. Waylight is a reading aid, not medical treatment, diagnosis, or therapy.
Why is Google Docs different?
The browser extension cannot reach Docs’ canvas-rendered text. The beta add-on can add anchors, but it must change document formatting. The separate reader is the safe option.
Can it change a document?
The browser extension and reader are visual-only. The clearly labeled Docs and Word betas are different: they edit a document copy and warn before doing so.
