Reading with a mirror

While playing back a subbed Japanese-language anime episode, I used a video filter to horizontally invert my screen (mirror image). An inventive, though CPU intensive, way to watch anime 'without' english subtitles .

In the 'mirrored' anime, I noticed that though the english subtitles are hardly
comprehensible, kanji sentences can still be understood fairly well ☝ . Has anyone noticed this?

Also, am I right to say that such a nature of the Japanese language makes it easier on dyslexics?
 
How creative a way to force yourself to listen rather than read. Just need to forget about the mirrored Japanese scripts so you don't get leftie after a while..

Check out this article.

Also, from 「女」なんか見たくない:

My translation:
"Chinese characters are an excellent writing system. Since there correspondence to meaning is high, they are quickly converted to something meaningful in the brain. On the other hand, phonetic scripts like alphabets are first converted to sounds, and only then are they converted to meanings. Accordingly, Chinese characters can be read faster, and people with strong dyslexia (a mental disability that makes characters unreadable) can understand them. With the appearance of computers the necessity of hand writing has diminished, and there are advantages to Chinese characters even in the present era, when there is a need to quickly take in lots of information."
