Ask HN: Good Browser Plugins for Dyslexics
4 by sdmike1 | 3 comments on Hacker News.
I'm dyslexic and reading documentation can be a real pain if the lines are long (I'll get lost in the middle of a sentence and loose what line I'm on, in particular the transition between lines is really rough). In the past, I've been saved by the ability to resize my browser window or the fact that man pages are 80 chars wide. Unfortunately the docs I've been dealing with at work lately don't re-flow when you change the size of the viewport, they just gain a horizontal scrollbar, which is less than helpful. Does anyone have any good browser extensions for dyslexics? Specifically any that help with following a line to the next one down. I recall seeing an extension in a thread on here about Dyslexia in the past few months that really helped. It would highlight the last word or two of a line and put a matching highlight on the first one or two words of the next lines.
