Enlarge: Speed up reading

Reduce visual clutter and increase font size to reduce cognitive load.

The smaller the font, the more effort is spent on decoding. Increasing font size, line spacing, and reducing line length can significantly speed up reading and reduce mental fatigue.

Actionable Steps

  • Use Immersive Reader in Edge/OneNote.
  • Reflow PDFs on mobile devices.
  • Increase zoom level on browser pages.
