A lower value means the text will appear more slowly, giving more time to read, while a higher value speeds up the text display. 2. Text Size Purpose: Adjusts the size of the text being displayed. Increasing the size can make the text easier to read, particularly for those with visual impairments or reading difficulties. 3. Background Colour Purpose: Changes the background color of the text overlay. This can help reduce glare and improve contrast, making the text easier to read for individuals with dyslexia or other reading difficulties. 4. Text Colour Purpose: Changes the color of the text itself. Adjusting the text color in combination with the background color can further enhance readability by improving contrast. 5. Font Purpose: Allows the user to select the font style for the text. Different fonts can have varying impacts on readability, with some being more dyslexia-friendly than others. 6. Constant Background Size Purpose: When enabled, the background size remains consistent regardless of changes to the text size. This helps maintain a stable reading environment without altering the visual structure. 7. Pause on Punctuation Purpose: Adds a brief pause when the reader encounters sentence-ending punctuation, like a period or exclamation mark. This can help the reader better process the text. 8. Punctuation Pause Length Purpose: Adjusts the duration of the pause that occurs when sentence-ending punctuation is encountered. A longer pause provides more time to mentally process the end of a sentence. 9. Punctuation Pause Percentage Purpose: Modifies the pause duration for punctuation like commas and colons relative to the pause for sentence-ending punctuation. Setting this to 100% makes the pause duration the same as for a period or exclamation mark for example. 10. Manual Mode Purpose: Activates manual reading mode, allowing the reader to navigate through text using keyboard arrow keys. This provides more control over the reading pace, particularly useful for those who prefer a slower or non-linear reading approach. 11. Highlight Selected Text Purpose: Briefly highlights the text that is about to be read. This visual cue helps the reader focus on the specific portion of text before it is displayed, aiding in tracking and comprehension. 12. Dark Mode Purpose: Toggles the interface between light and dark modes. Dark mode reduces the setting's menu's brightness. 13. Reset Settings Purpose: Resets all settings to their default values. This is useful if the user wants to quickly undo any changes made and return to the original setup. 14. Read Full Page Purpose: Initiates the reading of the entire page. This starts the text display process according to the configured settings, allowing the user to read through all the content on the page in one click. 15. Exit Purpose: Exits the Dyslexia Reader plugin. This will close the reader interface (ending selection mode) and return the user to their previous view or activity. Thank you for reading!
