# [Bionify - Read Faster!](https://bionify.xyz)
**LEGAL NOTICE:** To the _wonderful_ folks at Bionic Reading®, this is not a pirated version of your Bionic Reading® API, but rather a simple algorithm I developed in conjunction with other open source developers. It does NOT violate your precious Bionic Reading® copyrights.
[](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bionify-read-faster-with/gomhfpbcjfidhpffhecghfdieincgncc)
A simple chrome extension designed to help you read faster and more efficiently.
Here's an example of Bionified text to demonstrate the speed!

(example text from jiffy reader)
## Download
Bionify is available on the Chrome web store!
Get it here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bionify-read-faster-with/gomhfpbcjfidhpffhecghfdieincgncc
Official website: https://bionify.xyz
## Development
First, clone the repository
```
git clone https://github.com/cveinnt/bionify.git
```
Thenm, follow [this instruction](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/getstarted/#unpacked) to develop unpacked extensions in Chrome.
## Algorithm Specification
We allow you to customize highlight algorithm using a string similar to this:
```
- 0 1 1 2 0.4
```
Note that all numbers and characters are separated by a space. Here is what this string means:
```
- 0 1 1 2 0.4
^
```
The first character can be either `-` or `+`. If it is `-`, we don't highlight common english words (for example 'a', 'and', etc.) if it is '+' we highlight all words.
```
- 0 1 1 2 0.4
^
```
This specifies the number of highlighted characters for words with length 1. For example 'a' and 'I'. Here we have specified that we don't want to highlight these characters.
```
- 0 1 1 2 0.4
^
```
This specifies the number of highlighted characters for words with length 2. For example 'an' and 'or'. Here we have specified that we highlight the first character of these words.
```
- 0 1 1 2 0.4
^
```
Highlight the first character of 3 letter words.
```
- 0 1 1 2 0.4
^
```
Highlight the first two character of 4 letter words.
```
- 0 1 1 2 0.4
^
```
Unlike the previews entries, the last entry is a fractional value between 0 and 1 which specified which fraction of words that are not specified by previous rules must be highlighted.
For example, here we highlight the first 40% characters of words with 5 or more characters.
