Read&Write: The Ultimate Digital Literacy Support

The internet is text-heavy, which can be a barrier for millions of people with dyslexia, learning difficulties, or visual impairments. Read&Write breaks down these walls, making the web accessible, engaging, and understandable for everyone.

Used by over 30 million people worldwide, this extension is more than just a tool; it's a lifeline. It provides a comprehensive toolbar that overlays on any webpage or Google Doc, offering instant support exactly when the user needs it.

A Toolkit for Confidence

Confidence is key to learning. When a student struggles to read the word on the screen, their confidence plummets. Read&Write helps rebuild that trust in their own abilities.

🗣️ Text-to-Speech Hear words, passages, or whole documents read aloud with easy-to-follow dual color highlighting.

📖 Text Dictionaries Stuck on a word? Click it to see a definition. Still unsure? Click "Picture Dictionary" to see a symbol representing the word.

🎯 Screen Masking Focus on one line at a time. This digital ruler helps reduce visual stress and keeps the reader on track.

✍️ Prediction Word prediction intuitively suggests the next word as you type, helping with spelling and sentence structure.

Supporting Dyslexia & Diverse Learners

For individuals with dyslexia, the visual processing of text can be exhausting. Read&Write reduces this cognitive load. The "Simplify Page" feature is particularly powerful: it strips away ads and confusing navigation, reformatting the text into a clean, easy-to-read layout.

Furthermore, the Audio Maker allows users to convert text into MP3 files, enabling them to listen to their study materials while on the go—perfect for auditory learners.

Toolbar Interface — The floating toolbar integrates seamlessly with Google Docs and web pages.

Not Just for schools

While dominating the education sector, Read&Write is also invaluable in the workplace. Proofreading documents, drafting emails, and researching complex topics become faster and more accurate with the extension's support.
