Full summary

What is it like to be visually impaired? As a well-sighted person you'll likely never fully get to understand that. But SEE helps you imagine what it’s like.

For example, you could see what your website looks like for a colour blind person. Which might convince you to change the contrast in your design.

SEE is a product by Q42, created by Johan Huijkman and Marcel Duin. If you have any questions or just want to share your thoughts you can reach us at:

Or visit our website at q42.nl (Dutch) or q42.com (English).

You can download the source code at http://github.com/Q42/SEE. Or even better, improve it and do a pull request!

Known issues:

  • It can overwrite certain used CSS transforms/filters which can break your site while using it
  • It doesn't work on certain websites with complex CSS/DOM models

View and edit Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files -- without needing Office installed on your computer.

Once the extension is installed, Office files that you drag into Chrome, open in Gmail, Google Drive, and more, will be opened in Docs, Sheets, and Slides for viewing and editing.

You can save each file back to its original Office format, or convert it to Docs, Sheets, or Slides to unlock more features, like inviting others to edit with you, commenting, chat, and more.

Please note that Office files cannot be edited in the classic version of Drive. The new Google Drive is gradually rolling out to all users via the Settings menu. If you don't see the option to try the new look, check back again shortly. Learn more here: https://support.google.com/drive/?p=new_drive.

Formats supported: .doc .docx .xls .xlsx .ppt .pptx
