Extension summary

The ADHD Text Enhancer is a powerful tool designed to support individuals with ADHD and other neurodivergent conditions in improving their reading experience. This browser extension offers a unique functionality that enhances the legibility of text on webpages, making reading more accessible and comfortable.

How It Works:

The ADHD Reading Helper is a lightweight and user-friendly Chrome extension that modifies the text on webpages to improve readability. Once installed, simply activate the extension by clicking on the icon in your browser's toolbar. The extension then scans the entire webpage and intelligently makes the first few letters of each word bold, providing a visual cue that aids concentration and comprehension. Also, just REFRESH the page if you want to turn the extension OFF.

Converting PDFs:

To convert PDFs for use with the ADHD Reading Helper, you'll first need to convert the PDF to HTML format using any reliable PDF-to-HTML converter available online. Once the PDF is converted to HTML, you can utilize the extension to enhance the legibility of the text within the HTML version of the document.

Undoing Changes and Infinite Pages:

If you wish to undo the text modifications made by the extension, simply refresh the webpage, and the text will revert back to its original state. It's important to note that when browsing on infinite scrolling pages or dynamically loaded content, you may need to reapply the extension's enhancements to each new set of data. This ensures that the extension respects your consent and doesn't automatically modify new content without your permission.

I've recentlty come across literature that places a lot of evidence for how web content is skimmed, causing less information to be retained and increase exhaustion. This tool literally makes me read slow but not in an uncomfortable way. Thank you! Awesome product and what we need more of!

Works on all pages, but converting my pdf to html did not help, it still wouldn't register on it. Maybe help from the devs? If so and I can get it working my review will go up because in general it works!
