Hello @tiffywin,
I see you’re having trouble turning off bionic reading in AnkiHub. Bionic reading is a feature that highlights certain parts of text to improve reading speed and comprehension.
Could you please provide more details about your issue? Specifically:
This information would help me provide more targeted assistance.
Also, if this is related to a specific deck you’re using, you might want to ask about it in the AnkiHub Decks category instead, as mentioned in the guidelines.
Bionic reading randomly turned on while I was using it. I cant seem to turn it off. It’s not on my add-ons when I check.
It is on all of my cards. I am using desktop.

Hello @tiffywin,
Thanks for providing those details. If bionic reading is affecting all of your cards but isn’t showing up in your add-ons list, this might be related to a few possible causes:
Night mode or theme settings: Sometimes display settings can cause text formatting to appear differently. Try checking your Anki preferences under Tools > Preferences > Appearance.
Add-on issue: Even if you don’t see a specific “bionic reading” add-on, another add-on might be causing this effect. Try restarting Anki while holding down the Shift key - this temporarily disables all add-ons. If the bionic reading format disappears, then an add-on is the cause.
Card template modification: The card templates might have been modified to include bionic reading-style formatting. You can check this by viewing the card templates in the browser (select a note, then click Cards…).
To troubleshoot further:
If these suggestions don’t help, this might be a general Anki issue rather than an AnkiHub-specific one. In that case, you might get better help at the Anki Support Forum.

Hello @tiffywin,
Thank you for sharing the screenshot. I can see the bionic reading-style formatting (where parts of words are bold) on your cards.
Yes, “force quit” on a MacBook is one way to restart Anki. After force quitting:
To properly test if an add-on is causing this issue, try this specific troubleshooting method:
This temporarily disables all add-ons. If the bold formatting disappears, then we know an add-on is causing it.
Since this appears to be affecting all your cards, it’s likely either:
If the Shift+Start method doesn’t fix it, you could try:
If none of these solutions work, this might be a general Anki issue rather than AnkiHub-specific. The Anki Support Forum might have additional resources for this particular text formatting problem.
I tried all you recommended and it did not work

Hello @tiffywin,
I’m sorry to hear that the previous suggestions didn’t resolve your issue. Since we’ve eliminated add-ons and basic Anki settings as the cause, let’s try some more advanced troubleshooting:
Check your video driver settings:
Debug console check:
mw.reviewer.web.eval("document.body.innerHTML")
Reset Anki’s user interface:
Check your Anki version:
Since this appears to be affecting the text rendering across all your cards, and we’ve ruled out most AnkiHub-specific causes, this might be a core Anki issue.
If none of these solutions work, I’d recommend:
The Anki development team or the wider community there might have encountered similar font rendering issues and could provide more specialized assistance.
Hello,
I saw that the bot already suggested it to you, but can you please try again to hold Shift while starting Anki? If you do it correctly, your add-ons (like the AnkiHub tab on the Anki main page) should be gone.
To disable this add-on’s function, you need to disable it on each note type in the add-on config. Toggling the add-on off alone will not turn off the bionic reading formatting
Can you try this and let me know how it goes?
Also, can you please provide the name/code of the Bionic Reading add-on that you had? Maybe it’s a different one.
It seems like the bionic reading was applied permanently to all my cards. I tried holding shift while restarting Anki and the bionic reading was still there. What would be the next steps to try to remove this? I did not have this add on installed at any point. Thank you!
Hi,
To disable this add-on’s function, you need to disable it on each note type in the add-on config. Toggling the add-on off alone will not turn off the bionic reading formatting.
Could you please look in your installed add-on list? Maybe it was installed together with other add-ons.
