Are there people who subvocalise everything they read? Are people subvocalising this post?
Must suck not being able to turn it on and off at will, subvocalising when reading books but not when reading other shit.

Not really, I tend to subvocalize a lot more when reading foreign languages though.

What do you mean by subvocalising?

Do you mean the voice in your head is reading out what you see so that you can hear it?

If so, then I subvocalize literally everything I have ever read ever... does this mean I'm autistic I thought this was normal.

Some books I don't know how I would have gotten through if I subvocalised everything. So slow.
Great prose is worth being listened to of course, but prose isn't the only reason to read something.

Anyone else have the opposite problem to this? As in, I can subvocalise of course, but even if I start a book doing so, I can't seem to help speeding along and taking in the meaning without subvocalising. With some writers you need to slow the fuck down and savour the words.

I think it's pattern recognition of groups of words basically. As in you take in multiple words, even sentences in at a glance in meaning, quicker than you can sound them in your head, if that makes sense. Dunno if it's something you can "learn" if it doesn't automatically happen with experience. I've done it as far back as I can remember - I read a lot as a child.

At least, that's what it is in my case. Which is why I can't do it so much with complex or unusual prose as it doesn't fit pattern.
