- fajarsiddiq 7y agoThis is so useful. I have problem with my eyes after long day or starting my day using the laptop. I'm usually on my macbook pro, using chrome. At times is very difficult to read in bright white screen and it cause me headaches. With this plugin tool, it helps me read in darkmode and i use it for newsletter as well. thanks for making this. It is super useful.
- fajarsiddiq 7y agoHoly moly! It helps me so much. Thanks for making this. I love the darkmode & just got the pro account. So many good features
- supremerumham 7y agoThis is great not only for accessibility but the extension gets rid of all the excess pop-ups that you might encounter when scrolling while reading.
- ryzalyusoff 7y agoThanks Alex! :)
- supremerumham 7y agoNo problem!!
- ryzalyusoff 7y ago:)))
- zufallsheld 7y agoThis looks really great. Do you plan on releasing a Firefox extension?
- ryzalyusoff 7y agoThank you and yes! The Firefox and even Safari version will come soon! :))
- kseistrup 7y agoDoes paying for the PRO version on Chrome include PRO on Firefox, too, or do I have to pay twice?
- ryzalyusoff 7y agoYou just need to pay once :)
- disabled 7y agoI tweeted this tool to @Bookshare. The creator of this made an amazing tool, and should contact Bookshare.org so that the tool is featured and endorsed for people with print-related disabilities. The only thing that this may be missing is multi-modal highlighting. As in, where the sentence is highlighted in one color and the word being read aloud is highlighted in a different color. This is a feature in Kurzweil 3000 and Voice Dream Reader. This can be super helpful for people with print disabilities that involve vision. But, I am definitely going to get this! I think this is the best accessibility tool I have seen on PC! :-)
- ryzalyusoff 7y agoAh i see, thank you for sharing that, I will check it out! And oh, I will be looking into the multi-modal highlighting as well and if all goes well, this will be available in the next update! So yeah, you get it now and just update it if the new version is ready. Thank you again for your time, feedback, and for your kind words. Appreciate it! :)))
- disabled 7y agoYou're welcome! This really is a phenomenal tool! I will get the extension today!
- steventey 7y agoI've been using ReaderMode for 2 days now and I must say that I'm absolutely enjoying the clean, distraction-free user experience! Thank you for making this!
