subvocalized
Pronounced without sound
Subvocalized describes speech or reading produced silently, with the vocal apparatus moving or activated but without audible sound.
When you read and "hear" the words in your head, you're subvocalizing.
Speed-reading techniques often try to suppress this habit: She subvocalized every word, slowing her reading pace.
