Scaffoly Extension

Scaffoly is a Chrome extension designed to make websites accessible to all, especially individuals with dyslexia and other learning differences. Our extension offers a comprehensive suite of tools to simplify reading and writing across the web. We’re always looking for ways to improve so if you have any feedback or suggestions please reach out to us at [email protected].

Key Features of Scaffoly:
• Text-to-Speech
•\tVoice Typing
•\tWord Highlighting (Digital Reading Ruler)
•\tCustom Fonts for Dyslexia
•\tContext-Based Word Definitions
•\tDistraction-Free Reader Mode
•\tAI-Powered Reading Level Adjustment

➤ Custom Fonts
Complicated fonts can be distracting and confusing, especially for those with dyslexia. Scaffoly transforms text on any website into more readable formats with a single click. Choose from various simple fonts, including Lexend Deca, specifically designed to enhance readability for dyslexic readers.

➤ Definitions
Understanding words can be challenging, particularly for those with learning differences. With Scaffoly, simply double-click any word to receive a context-based definition powered by Scaffoly AI, ensuring the meaning is tailored to the specific usage.

➤ Word Highlighting
Traditional reading rulers help individuals with dyslexia focus on physical text. Scaffoly brings this concept to the digital realm by highlighting the word under your cursor, improving focus and readability across all websites.

➤ Read Aloud
Reading can be tough for many, especially those with learning differences. Scaffoly allows you to highlight any web text and have it read aloud by natural-sounding voices. Just press the button, and listen.

➤ Voice Typing
Typing and spelling can be slow and difficult for those with learning differences. Scaffoly offers voice typing in almost any text box on the web, making it easier to input text by simply speaking.

➤ Reader Mode
Websites can be full of distractions and complex formatting. Scaffoly’s Reader Mode removes these distractions, allowing you to focus solely on the text content of the page.

➤ Reading Level Adjustment
Within Reader Mode, Scaffoly AI adjusts the reading level to any grade you choose. This feature modifies the conceptual complexity, sentence structure, and word use to match the selected grade level, making content more accessible.
