Lexia Extension

Lexia is a simple extension which improves readability of online text by bolding the first syllable(s) of each word in a paragraph (denoted with

tags in HTML). Initially geared towards those with dyslexia, this extension decreases reading time for all users.

The extension can be activated by clicking it's icon in the top right corner of your browser (indicated by a \"1\"), and deactivated by clicking it again (indicated by a \"0\"). Be wary that in version 1.0, the extension simply reloads your webpage to deactivate the highlighting, so be sure to back up content in progress.
