Text mode for websites - ReadBee
Description from store

Reader Mode why do you need it?

Reader mode is a feature some browsers incorporate that simplifies open pages by removing their ads, navigation panels, videos, and buttons. That feature enhances the readability of pages’ essential content. This is how you can enable reader mode in Google Chrome.

One of the ways to reduce this fatigue is to reduce the contrast between text and the screen. Easy Read Bee - text reader provides an overlay to cover the screen offering several different colours for users to choose from. Further you can change the colour of the text so that it further reduces the contrast with a simple reading mode extension.

ReadBee is a Chrome extension designed to help people engage with text, articles, magazines, web pages in a comfortable article reader view. Often reading on a screen can cause strain on the eyes and most of the time this is not perceptible to your consciousness. Read Bee are helpful to keep your eyes in a text view mode. The only way you can tell is your inability to read long pieces of text after a while.

Activating the reader view in Chrome will strip the clutter from an open page. You’ll be left with the page’s actual content along with its images or without, depends on your settings of reader. Almost all the navigation sections for its website will disappear.

Note that Readbee - view read mode works best for web pages that have a lot of content. There are some tools on the top of the page that can help you personalize your ReadBee. You can change background color, font size, font family and line width of the reader view.

Removing unneeded clutter from pages with reader modes before printing will also save you ink.

Reader text online, remove ads and distractions, leaving only text and images for a clean and consistent reading view on every site.

Ne fais pas apparaitres les images.

Nah ini simple tapi fungsinya dapat semua. NICEEE

Some websites resist when the user opens them as pages to read. In particular, the site begins to display text that is not what is visible on the site page. Sait shows useless "garbage" text. This is veiled trolling, social engineering to force site visitors to open its page along with junk advertising and spying trackers. This application does not know how to deal with this, and therefore is often completely useless.

I'm upset for not knowing about this extension earlier. This is exactly what I had been looking for. Thank you!

Très bien ! Si, sur certains sites, ça ne montre pas tout le texte (à cause des trucs de blocages mis sur le site) il suffit de sélectionner manuellement tout le texte. Même si, en sélectionnant le texte, on sélectionne du même coup des pubs etc, le addon va les reconnaître et ne les ajoutera pas dans le produit final.) (En sélectionnant le texte, ça indique ce qu'on vise.) Une fois le texte entier sélectionné, il suffit de cliquer sur le bouton de l'addon (dans le haut de page, à côté du bouton des extensions). Du coup, ça bascule vers le résultat. Et voilà! De plus, quand ce résultat écrémé en "reader mode" s'affiche, on peut imprimer vers pdf avec le bouton Imprimante du browser, ou avec un autre addon (comme GoFullPage). Le résultat est un texte lisible, sans pubs, et avec toutes les photos et images qui sont dans le texte initial ! Impeccable! Merci au développeur!

Deep Connectome Jr. 2023-08-30

Awesome, removes all the clutter and useless buttons and banners, enables color change to feel comfortable for reading and more customization like fonts. Minimal, easy to use and no jargon. AWESOME!

ReadBee has a nice layout.. especially if you like to copy/paste lwithout getting the dating, word numbers, authorship info in the way as other readers put it. ReadBee doesn't get past paywalls as well as some other readers do.. that can cause time snags. It's nice and simple.. a sort of Mom&Pop extension. There's many other readers with many more options. I'm keeping one with automatic start, and another that allows page editing. ReadBee does not export files. If you don't mind not having image options, chrome-based browser internal reader mode does a good job, but you have to Enable them by pasting chrome://flags/#enable-reader-mode in the address bar and clicking enable. An open-book icon shows in the address bar enabling reader view. Convenient. (though that doesn't work with my auto copy extension) Another excellent option is InstaPaper (and that does work with my auto copy extension). For some reason ReadBee seems to have stopped working with my text auto copy extension.

This is so simple and perfect! I can read without distractions and I love that it keeps my settings across pages. Definitely recommend!

Awesome. Just works the way I expect! Perfect solution.

need settins for margin

Walter Kovacs 2023-06-05

При изменении шрифта изменяется только заголовок в статье, но не текст самой статьи.

Zero Infinity 2023-05-24

I like the design but for me the contrast of the dark mode is a bit hard on the eyes. Consider checking with others that often use dark mode to see whether you should make the black background and the white text a bit more gray.

Allan Valera 2023-05-24

Aun probandolo pero hasta el momento EXCELENTEEEEEE

Mihir 2023-05-19

Amazing tool! Props to the developer for this great job.

Thank you for developing such an excellent software. I would like to react to a software problem: on pages with software code, the code in reading mode is confusing. For example: https://realpython.com/python-del-statement/ I cut a picture, just like this: https://sm.ms/image/PDU7BsgSdYEtN3x

xi chen 2023-05-04

Roman Rostov 2023-04-21

Not a text reader... Reads no text whatsoever

المايسترو خالد العباسي 2023-03-28

great

irma garcia morales 2023-03-26

Really great! Is there any hope of it coming to Safari?

Ariadny M 2023-03-25

It's amazing! Very clean interface that's intuitive and easy to use. It has a lot of great features, and all of them are helpful. Nothing feels like extra weight or bloatware. Easy to toggle between a handful of provided light and dark themes and you can fully customize the colors if you want with some simple CSS code. nnThe text-to-speech is very handy as well! There's a ton of voices to choose from. A few seem broken, but most have no problem (I only tested the English ones). I really like the KevinV3 voice personally - it's very clear and doesn't sound too high or too low in pitch.nnMy only complaint is that when you change the speed of the voice, it won't go into effect immediately - you have to hit pause, then play again.nnAlso one other minor thing, although I assume this is something the voice providers need to fix: they don't recognize certain characters, such as em dashes—these things that make an interjection—which should have a vocal pause similar to parentheses. The dictation will just read over them, which will throw you off when it reads a sentence with them.

Great for minimizing clutter when wanting to print a webpage. Love the feature of hiding images.

Bruno A 2023-03-20

I always switch back to Safari for their reader but I think I may have finally found a Chrome alternative! Thank you so much for your tasteful development of this extension. Long may it continue!

Arthur Soares 2023-03-19

actual life savernworks every time

Edilson Junior 2023-03-19

Please include with the browser like in Safari. Also, don’t change the URL or at least maintain the original displayed in the address bar, and fix the line-height for larger text (auto increase as you scale up/zoom in), and either don’t justify paragraphs or provide the option to turn justification off. Thanks!

Florencia Greising 2023-03-18

Does what it says. Makes reading that little less complicated by displaying the text in a more readable form. Would recommend.

小真奈 2023-03-16

Tons of thanks. This is called amazing level work.

Yaisel Gonzalez 2022-03-02

I love the way it looks and how conformable it is to read long texts specially when I am studying.

AHMed SAMir 2022-02-27

add it to the right-click context .. add more fonts option to the read panel ..

shariar shuvo 2022-01-31

Best reader for me Thanks

Scott Carey 2022-01-29

Great extension. Thank you! I only wish it offered Times (New Roman or any of its variations) for that bookish look. Also, the only way I found to be able to expand its borders and use up the screen's full width, was by a combination of font size increasing and zooming in/out Chrome.

Best extantion in the store, but it ignores some text <span> — тип задачи, который и переводится как «задача». Это может быть какая-то разовая задача, которую ============================================================================= its was ignored.================================================================= <span class="inline-comment-marker valid" data-ref="dc51df3b-d998-464a-9a11-61b413e2b939">члены команды могут назначить сами на себя для списания рабочего времени</span> ============================================================================= .</span>
