ReadEase — Reading & Accessibility

Make any website easier to read: adjustable typography, spacing, color themes, and Bionic Reading.

ReadEase is a free Chrome extension that makes any website easier to read — without changing what the page says, only how comfortable it is to read it. Install it once, click the toolbar icon on any site, and adjust typography, spacing, color, and reading tools until the page works for your eyes and your brain. Every change applies instantly, on the page you're already looking at, with no account and no sign-up. WHY READEASE Most reading tools force you to pick one fix: a font-size bookmarklet, a dark-mode extension, or a dyslexia font add-on. ReadEase brings all of it together in one toolbar popup, tuned specifically for readers who find long or dense text tiring — whether that's due to dyslexia, ADHD, low vision, light sensitivity, or just a long day of screens. KEY FEATURES 📖 Bionic Reading Bolds the leading letters of every word in real time, creating fixation points your eyes can anchor to. Your brain fills in the rest of each word from memory, which can reduce fixation time and help you skim dense text with less effort. 🔊 Read Aloud (Text-to-Speech) Have any page read back to you using your device's own speech voices. Read your current selection, or the whole page if nothing is selected. Choose any installed voice and set playback speed from 0.75x to 2x — useful for proofreading, multitasking, or simply resting your eyes. 🔤 Custom Fonts & Font Size Switch between 12 font styles, including OpenDyslexic — a typeface designed specifically for readers with dyslexia — plus familiar options like Arial, Georgia, Verdana, and Times New Roman. Scale text size across a 12-step range, from 33% up to 200%, independent of the page's own styling. ↔️ Line Height & Letter Spacing Loosen up cramped paragraphs with line height from 1x to 3x and letter spacing from -1px to +3px. Force left, center, right, or justified alignment on any page that fights you on layout. 🎨 Color Filter & Themes Fine-tune five independent sliders — brightness, contrast, grayscale, sepia, and warmth — to cut glare, reduce blue light, or boost contrast for low-vision reading. A one-click invert mode instantly lightens dark, glaring pages. ⚡ Works Everywhere, Instantly Your settings are saved once and apply automatically on every site you visit — no re-configuring per page, no reload required. Turn ReadEase fully on or off with a single switch in the toolbar. WHO IT'S FOR • Readers with dyslexia — OpenDyslexic, wider letter spacing, and Bionic Reading reduce letter-swapping and reading fatigue. • Low vision & light sensitivity — higher contrast, inverted colors, and text scaling up to 200% without breaking a page's layout. • ADHD & attention differences — Bionic Reading and generous line height give your eyes a clearer path through long paragraphs. • Students & researchers — have dense articles and papers read aloud while you take notes, at a pace you control. • ESL and second-language readers — slow down Read Aloud to hear correct pronunciation while following along visually. • Anyone with tired eyes at the end of a long day — warm color filters and softened contrast make evening reading easier.
