Eye Read: Reading Assistant Extension

Eye Read is a web extension that unlocks the power of focused reading with a click of a button on any web page.

We built Eye Read to help people become more productive at school and work. It is especially useful for neurodivergent population, e.g. with ADHD and ADD.

⭐️ Simple to use - designed to be intuitive and work out of the box.
⭐️ Lightweight and fast - doesn't slow down your web browsing experience or break pages.
⭐️ Customizable - noise level control allows you to adjust how much content to highlight on the page.
⭐️ Works where it matters - keep using M365 Office Suite apps, such as Word or PowerPoint, browse social media apps, or read books in Google Play Books.
⭐️ Does not collect any personal data
