Fascinating! Does anybody else have ticker-tape synesthesia? Some people see spoken words converted into text in their heads. This is a great description of the research & experience, which is like a mental closed captioning https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/my-synesthesia-transforms-speech-into-text-i-see-in-my-head/

@laurahelmuth Oh, me! But it comes and goes.

Interesting to note that the text I used to see when I was younger was handwritten and now it's typed.

@laurahelmuth Yes, this is my world: words have sound and shape together always

Plus: helps with spelling
Minus: really bad with certain puns and rebus
Weird: if it's a name I've only heard and I lock into a certain spelling in the mental subtitles, it is very disquieting and difficult to remake the connection to something else
