This is so cool! Is it like you're imagining the text, or can you literally see it?

What about words that are muffled or too quiet?

How does it feel/look like when you're in an area that's packed with people? (Thank you in advance!)

It's like a mental HUD. Sometimes there's even an internal monologue like the enclopedia checks in Disco Elysium; though it's my voice, not that cool narrator's voice.
