What is Ticker Tape Synesthesia?
Heard speech is simultaneously visualized as text, as if subtitles or a scrolling ticker are running in the visual field. Estimated at around 6-7% of the population, it can aid spelling and verbal memory but may be distracting in noisy environments where multiple text streams appear simultaneously.
