How It Works
Cognitive Load Theory
By offloading decoding tasks (through text-to-speech) or visual processing (larger fonts), you reduce extraneous load, reserving working memory for intrinsic load (the actual content).
Fluency
Fluency is the ability to read or write with speed, accuracy, and proper expression. Tools like dictation and outlining remove mechanical friction, allowing thoughts to flow freely.
Accessibility is Productivity
Strategies originally designed for accessibility (like screen readers for visual impairment) turn out to be powerful productivity multipliers for all users by offering multi-modal engagement.
