Hearing an inner voice is not speaking. It is all in the head, not using the mouth. It skips over parts of words and is faster than a normal speaking voice would be.<p>&gt; it&#x27;s not like you look individually at every word and read them out, you see a larger area of text as a unit.<p>Of course you do. It is impossible to predict what will be the next word just by looking at one, if you don&#x27;t look at each one you don&#x27;t read, you skim. Meaning you won&#x27;t understand anything.
