I would not say that. When you are skimming, you actually skip parts of the text. Since an audible text is a constant stream of data, just skipping parts would make it incomprehensible

In speed reading, you can read sentences backwards and the brain will reorder them in real time. You can learn to decouple image (symbol/word) acquisition from comprehension. Step one om this path is to stop subvocalization, saying words out loud in your head.

It's the same difference between Sync (O_DIRECT) and Async disk writes.

I've heard people say that before but I still don't understand how to do it.

Does this help?

It might. I'll try those things. Thank you.

You still see the text, even if you don't understand it. Your eyes are collecting a constant stream of data, too.
