Jiffy Reader

If you are part of the 10% of the population with dyslexia or perhaps are struggling with ADHD, then chances are that you already have some tools to help you navigate the web. One of the things that can lend a hand in this case is bionic reading, a method that can help guide the eyes via artificial fixation points.

Jiffy Reader is a Chrome extension designed to add bionic reading to any web page and that can help you improve your browsing by letting you read the content faster.

Since this is an extension, you can simply use the classic add to Chrome method or use the archived installer, in which case you need to make sure that Developer mode is enabled. Either way, the add-on should be visible in the typical extension area and you can start using it right away.

The tool is quite simple to use as all you need to do is hit the Toggle Reading mode to view the content in bionic reading mode. The add-on takes certain parts of the words from the words and changes the font weight. To put it simply, it bolds the first half of the words to improve the reading experience by guiding your eyes over the page. For what is worth, some people with ADHD have reported a better experience thanks to bionic reading.

If you don’t want to do this for every website you visit, then just mark the ‘Toggle on default’ box. The other available options include making the text content smaller or bigger as well as a refresh button.

In the eventuality that you often find it hard to focus and read the content of webpages, then perhaps you can consider giving Jiffy Reader a try.
