A setting for every way of reading
8 profiles, 27 settings. One click on a profile turns on several aids at once; no diagnosis needed, people choose what helps.
The 8 Octeasy profiles
Or start from what you need
Most people who adjust a display have no condition at all: a small screen, forgotten glasses or tiredness is enough.
- The text is too smallThe "See better" profile enlarges text to 130% with a highly legible font; you can go up to 200%."See better" profile
- My eyes tire quickly on screenThe "Reduce light" profile switches the page to soft dark and tones down colours, so there is less bright light."Reduce light" profile
- I want to get to the pointThe "Stay focused" profile dims everything but the area you read, frames headings, shortens lines and stops animations."Stay focused" profile
- The screen dazzles meThe soft dark display and toned-down colours of the "Reduce light" profile calm bright white, at night or in daylight."Reduce light" profile
- I keep losing my placeThe "Read easily" profile doubles line spacing and spaces out words; the panel's reading ruler follows the current line."Read easily" profile
- I'd rather listenThe "Understand easily" profile turns on read aloud: click a paragraph to hear it, using the voices installed on your device."Understand easily" profile
- I keep missing what I clickThe "Click easily" profile enlarges buttons, boxes and menu links, and shows a big black cursor that is easy to follow."Click easily" profile
- Animations bother meThe "Avoid motion" profile stops CSS animations, softens colours and mutes sound; a video may keep playing."Avoid motion" profile
- I forgot my glassesThe "Senior comfort" profile enlarges text to 120%, adds space between lines, underlines links and widens click targets."Senior comfort" profile
- I'm reading in another languageThe "Understand easily" profile gives text and paragraphs more space, and read aloud lets you hear tricky words."Understand easily" profile
- I browse with the keyboardThe "Click easily" profile puts a thick yellow frame around the element you reach; the panel opens with Alt + Shift + A."Click easily" profile
- Walls of text put me offThe "Read easily" profile spaces out lines, letters and words, aligns text left and adds a cream background."Read easily" profile
Every aid in the widget, and who it helps
The same aid often helps very different people: read aloud helps after a stroke just as it does with a text in a foreign language.

Octeasy is a reading comfort tool: it does not make a site meet accessibility standards (WCAG, RGAA) and does not replace an audit. What Octeasy does not do.
