What is an ADHD Reader?

An ADHD reader is a specialized reading tool designed to help people with ADHD maintain focus on digital text. It achieves this by reducing visual distractions, improving clarity, and supporting higher levels of reading comprehension.

Many individuals with ADHD experience specific challenges during reading:

  • Losing their place: Skipping lines or losing track of the current paragraph.
  • Visual overwhelm: Feeling "blinded" or stressed by dense blocks of text.
  • Mental fatigue: Experiencing cognitive burnout after reading only a few sentences.

Lumina solves these challenges by transforming any text into a calmer, more structured, and highly readable experience, tailored specifically for the neurodivergent mind.

By integrating specialized reading technologies, we solve the problem of cognitive burnout at its source. Lumina isn’t just a reading utility; it is a specialized environment that restores autonomy to the reader.

How to Use Lumina Reader | Step-by-Step Focus Guide

How to Use Lumina Reader

Lumina is designed to be intuitive. There are no accounts to create just follow these three steps to begin your focused reading session.

1. Import Your Text

Paste: Simply copy text from any website or document and paste it into the main text box.

Upload: Click Upload Text File to instantly extract text from .txt, .csv, or .md files.

Note: Your files are processed locally on your computer; they are never sent to our servers.

2. Choose Your Focus Mode

Select the mode that best fits your current mental energy:

Continuous Reading: Best for long-form articles. It adds Bionic Bold highlights and extra spacing to keep your eyes from getting lost in the “wall of text.”

Focus (RSVP) Mode: Best for deep concentration. This shows you one word at a time at a speed you control. It’s perfect for preventing your mind from wandering.

3. Customize & Export

Adjust Intensity: Use the Bionic Intensity slider to make the bolding stronger or softer until it feels “right” for your brain.

Toggle Theme: Switch between Dark Mode (best for night) and Light Mode (best for high-contrast).

Save Your Work: Click Download as PDF to save a beautifully formatted, Bionic-enabled version for later.

💡 Tips for Success

  • Keyboard Shortcut: In RSVP Mode, use the Spacebar to quickly Play or Pause.
  • Speed Reading: Start at 250 WPM and gradually increase it as your brain adapts.
  • Clear & Reset: Click “Start New Session” to wipe your data and start fresh.
