I wonder if neural nets and other pattern recognition algorithms can do this too? I find its easier when I practice speed-reading, than looking at each word.

Wow, that's amazing! Talk about bad speeling. Err... I mean, I understood almost every word on this post and most everything contained in that link. Very peculiar.
I think the trick is (for me anyways) to learn to read with phonics, then get years of practice, then learn to speed-read, guessing at words at a glance.
I doubt it will work if you don't teach (repetition) the proper spelling first.

Right. "After a certain point..." is what I said. You'd need the patterns in your head (like neural net/OCR.) Maybe some kind of right brain connection, also. Once I realized I could read each jumbled words you wrote, I speed read them. That's whaat was so cool about it all, IMO.
Yeah. You wondered about neural nets. Been a while since I looked at my book on that, but yeah. There are stored patterns and the net, given a corrupted input, just spits out that pattern.
no, as the purpose of spelling is not to enable communication at a reasonably low error rate. It is primarily to present an instant image, to let your readers know youre not a nitwit, so you get taken seriously and minds and doors open.
Students that never learn proper spelling and grammar are always at a disadvatnage. They can write the greatest piece and have it ignored.
Secondly it is to enable a much greater level of precision of meaning than could ever be obtained with scrmabled words, and thus ability to understand to much mroe depth.
The first of the explanations offered for the phenomenon looked to me like no explanation at all. You cant recognise word meaning until you know what the word is.
It is in learning to read faster that we skim words fast enough to take in a whole word, or more, at one glance. Because we take in many letters in parallel at once, their serial positions are relatively little considered. This explains why scrambled can eb read fast, but can not be read slow. In slow read mode, we read the letters serially, and the serial data is badly corrupted. In parallel mode, its not far from being correct, near enough to guess right mostly.
I think that was harder to read than if you had left the first and last letters in the correct positions. And it's short, so it doesn't lend itself to scanning/speed reading as well as a longer commo.
