Utilize our font adjustment features to change the font of a site as well as increasing or decreasing the boldness. Use fonts such as Open Dyslexic, Verdana, Times New Roman among others to increase the legibility of the web ★Colour Contrast For those who have trouble seeing websites with their default colours or if you just want to spice up the look of a website. You change the text, background and link colours using our tools! ★Animation Toggle Remove the pesky animations that some websites have and declutter your screen. Animations can be toggled on and off to make surfing the web faster and with less confusion. ★Text to Speech Hover over text to have it read out loud to you! With over 200 voice settings, explore every unique voice we included; There is tons of room to personalize! ★Tints and Overlays Use our ruler overlay to help follow the text on the screen easily and block out distracting content. The ruler can be any colour and be a literal ruler or a letterbox to improve the accessibility of the text your reading. A screen tint is available to help those with Irlen Syndrome or if you dislike the base colour of a web page but don’t want to change it entirely.

  • (2023-11-15) Michelle Putnam: I’m disabled, and need help to read. I'll just cut to the chase, I'll be reviewing facts not opinions. FYI, I can only understand English. Is it actually free: Yes Does it work?: Yes, very well. What the voices like: Basic Microsoft English voices, Along with the standard Google Multilingual TTS. Other Languages: Yes Control over the voice (Pitch, Speed, Ect?): You are able to change the speed as well as change the exact color for the highlighted test. Can I pause: No, however, you read by hovering the mouse over the test. _Can it read_ Google docs: No Wikipedia:Yes Gmail: No AO3: Yes Is it as Advertised: For the majority, Yes, There is a multitude of functions provided, and is quite accurate to what the description provides. However, “With over 200 voice settings,” Is not true. At least from what I can see, there are 25 voices. And “There is tons of room to personalize!” The only thing for personalization is the speed. It also tends to not work on certain selections of text, however they are aware of this issue. Why the stars? Considering that this provides so many functions without a paywall is a rare find. It gives the user the ability to have exact control over colors, sizes, tints, and text. Even with the limited text options, It still reads. As well as the reading function being the fastest I've seen. The hover function isn't infuriating or a struggle, its instinct. The setup works very well for researching new topics, but I wouldn't suggest it for story reading. (How to fix) My recommendation: The only issue with this application is the interface. It needs some polishing. The application window is a tad small, I believe this could be fixed with providing some application settings. As for the customization of text to speech I would recommend applying a test button. Lastly during my testing I found that, when customizing colors, the change would not happen until flicked on and off again. I'm unaware if this is a bug, but it's something of note.

  • (2022-06-27) Bethany B.: Love this in Chrome as it makes my web-based work software much easier to read (I have retinal damage in both eyes caused by a brain tumor several years ago). I only wish it was also a Firefox extension as I use Firefox for almost all non-work internet stuffs, hence four stars.
  • (2021-07-25) Michał Sobczyński: Ah! Ah! It helped me a lot, let alone my father, who is 95 years old and has always had trouble with distraction on the page. Thanks to the ruler, he can now read the content freely.
  • (2020-07-28) Willowbrook Medical Practice: Really useful tool, the dyslexia ruler is perfect for helping me read webpages. Just wish it had a shortcut so I could enable/disable it quicker but other than this it is brilliant! Thank you.

  • (2020-01-20) Mustafa Chaudary: Super helpful for everyday needs
  • (2019-09-10) Emma Fairgrieve: Super useful! Especially for a university student with dyslexia and ADHD. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would.
