LucidRead — ADHD Reading & Focus Assistant

ADHD & dyslexia reading tools: focus ruler, bionic fixation bolding, clean reader mode, text to speech, and typography spacing.

LucidRead is a neuroinclusive reading and focus assistant designed for ADHD, dyslexia, visual stress, and anyone who struggles with reading comprehension online. Modern web pages are overwhelming — dense text blocks, flashing ads, tiny line heights, and cluttered sidebars cause sensory overload and severe focus degradation. LucidRead transforms any web page into a calm, accessible, distraction-free reading canvas. ✦ CORE FEATURES: 🔤 Adaptive Typography & Spacing Adjust line height (1.0× – 3.0×), letter spacing (0 – 0.30em), word spacing (0 – 0.50em), and page zoom (80% – 200%). Switch to neurodiverse fonts: OpenDyslexic, Lexend, Atkinson Hyperlegible, or Casual Sans. 📏 Interactive Focus Ruler & Mask A translucent reading guide bar follows your cursor to anchor your gaze and prevent losing your place. Mask mode dims the upper and lower page regions, spotlighting only the line you're reading. Customizable height, opacity, and 5 therapeutic color palettes. ⚡ Bionic Fixation Reading Automatically bolds the first 30–50% of each word's letters to guide saccadic eye movement and accelerate reading fixation. 100% non-destructive — toggles cleanly with no page modification. 🎨 Sensory Page Tinting Soft therapeutic color overlays (Warm Sepia, Sage Green, Calming Blue, Rose Peach, Golden Amber) reduce glare, visual stress, and scotopic sensitivity. 🔊 Text-to-Speech (TTS) Hear article text read aloud with synchronized word-by-word visual highlighting. Floating mini-player with play/pause, stop, and speed controls (0.75× – 2.0×). 📖 Distraction-Free Reader Mode One-click article extraction strips ads, sidebars, and popups. Keyboard shortcut: Alt+M. Includes progress bar, estimated read time, and customizable themes (Sepia, Light, Sage, Dark). 💾 Per-Site Memory Your customized settings are automatically saved per website domain, so each site looks exactly how you need it. ✦ BUILT FOR ACCESSIBILITY: • WCAG 2.2 AA compliant (contrast ratios, minimum font sizes, keyboard navigation) • Full keyboard accessibility with ARIA live regions for screen readers • 100% privacy-first — all processing happens locally on your device, zero data collection • Works on Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Opera
