AaRead is a reading helper for your eyes and brain. It makes some letters extra bold to make reading fast and keep effort low. This is great for folks with ADHD, dyslexia, or anyone whose brain gets bored easily when reading.
Okay, yeah, my description for the extension kinda sucked… But I swear, this AaRead extension is seriously cool! It can help you with reading online faster and without your brain getting bored.
It uses a neat algorithm (inspired by the bionic reading method), boldly highlighting the beginnings of words on the webpage so your brain can effortlessly fill in the rest. It’s perfect if you have ADHD, dyslexia, or just want to level up your online reading experience.
I built AaRead myself from the ground up because I found other similar extensions were either paid or super glitchy. AaRead is totally free, works smoothly, and is blazingly fast. Toggle it on and off by clicking the extension icon or pressing Ctrl/Cmd + 0 on your favorite website.
I really want AaRead to be awesome for everyone, so please share your feedback or let me know how much you’re enjoying it (if you are, of course...). Firefox version coming soon ;)
Enjoy your reading! And thanks for reading this, hope it was worth your time :)
I prefer the readability of the OpenDyslexic font family; this way, I can set it across my entire operating system, not just on a website.
Great idea! I personally get easily distracted while reading, and your product did indeed help to keep my focus.
We launched our product as well, would love for you to check us out Waxwing
Great idea! If I'm honest, I was struggling reading the first few examples on your landing page. But I'm sure it can help people with ADHD a lot. How did you get the idea to develop something like that?
My reading speed increased by 50%. I also tested without the extension and found my pace was slower.
Good one.
AaRead sounds like a thoughtful solution. Can you share more about how it works with different websites or if there are specific scenarios where AaRead excels? I'd also love to know what inspired you to focus on improving readability for those with ADHD, dyslexia, or other reading difficulties.
AaRead is a brilliant tool for enhancing online reading. Its innovative algorithm highlights key parts of words, making reading effortless—ideal for ADHD, dyslexia, or anyone wanting a faster reading experience. This free, smoothly functioning extension is a must-try for efficient web browsing. It's refreshing to see such a user-focused tool, especially one that's built with such care. Great job, Dmitrii! Looking forward to the Firefox version.
While I initially thought it was a text-to-speech reader (based on the title), the highlighting of the first few letters on the page caught my attention. Useful Plugin, But we have different tools on bionic concept in chrome market. Are you thinking to baseline this work extended to new features?
I find it a good idea. What inspired you? Do you have ADHD or dyslexia? Will be also there an option to highlight certain parts with colour? Something like "highlighting" sentences for learning/better understanding studying technique? 🙂
