Apply a Bionic Reading Style to Google Docs and Slides

Introduction

Bionic reading is a reading technique that uses a special font to highlight the most important words in a text. This is done by bolding the first and last letters of each word, making it easier for the reader to identify the key points.

You can try this feature called Bionic Reading in OneScript for Google Docs and Google Slides to apply a similar effect.
