A Google Chrome extension for making websites easier to read for those with Dyslexia and Colour-Blindness
- Non-sans-serif fonts are harder to read, make sure all fonts are sans-serif (like Arial or Verdana)
- Font size that is less than 16px is harder to read, make sure all fonts are at least 16px
- Fonts with the letters too close together are harder to read, make sure inter-letter spacing is around 35% of letter width
- Make spaces clear and distinct from inter-letter spacing by having spaces be at least 3.5x wider than inter-letter spacing
- Make inter-line spacing ~1.5x the size of inter-word spacing
- Italicized words make letters run together, replace all emphasis with bolds
- Remove sections that are all-caps
- Change website's colour palette to presets catered towards specific types of colour blindness
- Color contrast ratio should be 7:1 for normal text and 4.5:1 for large text to ensure readability through high color contrast
- Eliminate problematic color combinations (e.g. red-green, blue-purple) for colorblind users
- Website fonts are bolded for better readability
