Google Launches Reader Mode in Chrome for Dyslexics
JAKARTA - At the recent BETT 2023 education technology expo, Google announced a series of accessibility and collaboration updates for its Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based Google Workspace platform and browser.
One of them is Reader Mode for Chrome, launched specifically to help reading challenges like those with dyslexia experience, so they can view articles and text posts online.
This Reader Mode will take the main content of the site and put it in the sidebar to reduce clutter and distraction, just like Safari has.
Users will also be able to change the font of the text, its size, font spacing, color and background color, to find the most suitable combination.
In addition, Google Classroom will give educators the ability to add interactive questions to YouTube videos.
