Visor

Screen dimmer and reading aid, may help with fluency, eye-strain, concentration and comprehension whilst reading.

What is Visor?

Visor is a Chrome-based extension designed to enhance your reading experience. It works as a general screen dimmer and offers helpful features for those afflicted with visual perceptual issues like Dyslexia and Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome. Visor uses overlays and a unique point of focus feature to potentially reduce visual confusion and increase your reading comprehension. The overlays may help with fluency, reduce eye-strain, and enhance concentration. The extension requires reactivation with each page load and due to Chrome restrictions, it does not work on Chrome's start page, options pages or the Chrome web store.

Version 2.0.5: Add link to upgraded visor-plus.

Version 2.0.4: Bug-fixes and updated style.

As well as being a great general purpose screen dimmer, Visor's overlays and point of focus feature may be assistive to users with visual perceptual difficulties such as Dyslexia, Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome and Visual Stress.

Whilst research shows results vary from person to person, some users may find that the use of overlays can help with fluency, eye-strain, concentration and comprehension whilst reading.

In addition to the traditional overlay method, Visor also employs a point of focus feature, designed to further reduce visual confusions and the tendency to skip lines.

This horizontal focal point tracks your mouse, giving full focus to the content being read, whilst reducing the visual noise of the surrounding page.

Visor requires no special permissions, so must be reactivated with each page load.

Note: This extension will not work on Chrome's start page, options pages or the Chrome web store. This is a restriction of chrome.
