| Description | Dyslexia is treated by many specialists as a cognitive impairment dwelling in visual attention deficit. It may cause an image of letter spatial rotation or overlapping. Both children and adults suffer from this disease, differing in individual needs and seriousness. With growing number of information being distributed digitally, it is a need to accommodate online text to dyslexic users. However, with different types of operating systems, web browsers and substantial dyslexia individualism, it is not easy to fully automatize such needs. We develop an extension for Chrome browser which is based on our previous cognitive research and empirical data. Such extension will allow a user with dyslexia to accommodate the web content with special fragmentation sign which demonstrably suppresses reading problems caused by dyslexia. |
