- (2019-03-19) I am a dyslexic university student. In theory, this is amazing. However, on my computer it did not work. I could not use it on Google Docs (and as that is what I write all my assignments on, that's an issue) and made a lot of websites not useable as images would grow to be partly off the screen.

- (2015-02-14) Frances Browne: This app helps my dyslexic son do more internet research on his own. Not relying on me to constantly help him navigate the web pages he visits for homework. Thanks!

- (2017-03-04, v:0.9850) Perceptual Crowding and dyslexia
In 2012, Italian researchers found that adults with dyslexia could read faster with better comprehension when they allowed them to read Times-Roman font that was slightly bigger (14 pt.), with letters and words farther apart. This can correct for a phenomenon called "perceptual crowding," caused by sluggish shifting of attention across letters & words. You need to add this as an optional feature to your app. Include a slider for spreading letters and words apart until they feel just right for a person. - (2016-07-05, v:0.9850) Francois BOCQUET: May I help you to translate your extension in french ?
It could be usefull for our student in France, Belgium, Switzerland and Canada. I can do it for free during this hollidays ;-) Thanks a lot. - (2015-02-23, v:0.9850) Jo Pope: Help needed
I have added this as an app but being dyslexic there are no instructions so i dont know how to use.
