Browse in OpenDyslexic: Navidys reformats web pages with your spacing, zoom and colors — site by site, in Safari. Make the web more comfortable to read. Navidys is a Safari extension that reformats web pages to your reading preferences: spacing, font, size, zoom and colors — adjustable site by site. WHY SPACING MATTERS In a controlled study published in PNAS (Zorzi et al., 2012), increasing the space between letters immediately improved reading accuracy in children with dyslexia. Navidys gives you precise control over letter spacing and line spacing on every web page. FEATURES - Apply your style to web pages individually - Adjust the spacing between letters and between lines - Use OpenDyslexic, the free typeface created for dyslexia by Abelardo Gonzalez, which some readers find more comfortable — font choice is a matter of personal preference - Adjust font size and zoom on any page - Choose text and background colors for better contrast and visual comfort Navidys is an accessibility and comfort tool. It does not diagnose or treat dyslexia. Your suggestions are welcome!

Link from other app is misleading

I bought this app from the main Open Dyslexic app. That link did not say this is only useable in Safari.The tutorial shows only one step, forwarding to a different app. You can't open one webpage and click links to stay with the Open Dyslexic font. Forwarding never offered to send to this app. It was not a suggested app.I will be asking Apple for a refund.

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.

It’s not perfect, but I can actually read now

If you have been looking for a way to read websites with OpenDyslexic font on your phone this does the job. The only let down being that it only works for Safari, but I would argue that says more about the other web browser apps than this one. I don’t love that it’s only for Safari, but I can adjust where I view web articles and web documents. The fact that I can now read a whole webpage and not have to reread each sentence ten times is fantastic. The instructions to apply the OpenDyslexic font on Safari pages are clear and relatively easy to follow.
