| Popis | Dyslexia is treated by many specialists as a cognitive impairment involving visual attention deficit. It may cause an image of letter rotation or overlapping. Both children and adults suffer from this disease, differing in individual needs and seriousness. With a growing amount of information being distributed digitally, there 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 are developing an extension for Chrome browser which is based on our previous cognitive research and empirical data. Such an extension will allow users with dyslexia to accommodate web content with special fragmentation sign which demonstrably suppresses reading problems caused (not only) by dyslexia. |
