I "hear text" as I read, but I'm not sure how it would affect how I tried handling that paragraph. The "voice" is generally monotonic, but I do glance back to reference words (especially because I didn't notice this was markov text). When I read, I take in entire chunks of words at a time and automatically pull out interesting words for the voice to read. I'm not entirely sure if I can describe what the voice says, but I'll give it a shot after deconstructing the paragraph.

* "During winter" ok

* "and touring the humor" ok

* "poignant observation to Hobbes" ???

* glance back at "humor", then "touring" for more context, whatever

* "as if to created as an outside action" - I didn't even notice "as if to created" was nonsense

* glance back to "observation", "humor", "during" to reconcile this weird construct

* "you can be found him" segfault, brain realizes this is nonsense and refuses to try to parse anymore

* "for examples" one last chunk it seems like I was processing when my brain realized it was nonsense

What was passed on to the internal voice (maybe? the more I think about this the more it seems inaccurate, but that might just be garbage in garbage out. And the fact that I've read this about 5 times so far). : "During winter, touring humor, poignant observation Hobbes, created outside action - you can be found him for" ... unsure ... "criticized is the thing through Saturday $DATE_HERE$. $PARENT$ first appeared newspaper chapeaux during nature is babysitter characters another"

I do think it's interesting that as I get more confused I start focusing on words that would have been filtered out but at the same time I lose my grasp on the big picture.

This is incredibly anecdotal, but I hope you gain some insight.
