Reader Assist

Reader Assist is a free Chrome extension designed to make web pages easier to read for people with dyslexia or ADHD, children learning to read, and anyone who finds dense text difficult. It splits long words into syllables, highlights alternating syllables or consonant-vowel pairs, and provides a reading ruler that follows the pointer to help readers keep their place.

Readers can adjust fonts, text size, letter and word spacing, ruler colours, and other settings. A reader view removes page clutter such as ads, menus, and sidebars, leaving the article in a single column. The settings follow readers across Chrome pages, and the extension can be installed on Chromebooks and other computers running Chrome. It requires no account and is free.
