Powerful tool to help struggling readers and visually impaired
Powerful, and easy to use. Simple to change the font size, letter spacing, font and/or background color of web pages in Safari and on text documents on your Mac. The font and display-manager for web and desktop includes the OpenDyslexic font, which has features, that have been shown to help many children (and adults!) who are having difficulty learning to read. The letter shapes and the tailored thickness, heavier at the bottom, make it easier for a struggling reader to distinguish 'b' from 'd' (left-right inversion) and 'b' from 'p' (up-down inversion) and provide many helpful visual cues to the struggling reader. It is easy to try different background and font colors and sizes to see what works best. It is convenient and inexpensive. A very elegant and powerful set of tools to augment the reading instruction -- and to make web-browsing more comfortable for visually-impaired adults and children.
