Normally, I read slower and experience an internal voice. It is different from hearing a voice with my ears. Not just quieter, but different in a way I can&#x27;t put into words. Yet also similar.<p>If I either speed up, or consciously suppress it, I can read without the internal voice, but comprehension goes way down. There&#x27;s some comprehension, but it&#x27;s pretty ineffective overall.<p>If I&#x27;m in a relatively quiet place, I don&#x27;t move my lips or tongue. If I&#x27;m in a very noisy place, moving my lips&#x2F;tongue seems to help.<p>I once knew someone who said she could not read at all without whispering the words to herself.
