I’d be interested to know what someone with severe dyslexia thinks of this interpretation. I have a mild case (constantly flipping digits in numbers, but rarely struggling with words) and my experience is much more swearing I just read 1917 and then looking back and realizing it says 1971 and then having to read it again because I was so sure it was 1917.

It’s true that the digits did jump around on me, but it’s not experienced as active motion, as portrayed here. It’s more that I see a false representation of what’s in the page.

I think words aren’t an issue because my brain is good enough at picking the word from what’s there and context.

It would be more like rendering the page with a few different Random letters swapped each time, rather than continuous movement of letters on the page.
