DyslexiaFriendly

Install from Chrome Web Store

Description

DyslexiaFriendly is a Google Chrome extension that increases readabilty of web pages by allowing you to switch to a dyslexia friendlier font and providing some extra tools to facilitate the reading.

Features

You can change the font on all web sites to either Open Dyslexic or Comic Sans. The visual appearance of all web sites is also enhanced with odd/even background shading of paragraphs and a vertical ruler that follows the mouse cursor.

The features listed here are also implemented: http://antijingoist.github.io/web-accessibility/

Develop

Popup only

Run the devserver. However, any messages to background or content scripts will not be sent (as those scripts don't exist in this mode). The devserver is useful for tweaking layout and styling of the popup.
