“I didn’t know what I was missing until I saw the difference that tuned text could make. I am faster at reading now, and my eyes are less strained.”
Remarkable Reading
Large portions of the population can experience improvements in reading speed, accuracy, and comprehension by simply choosing to read with their best reading format. Whether your goal is to get more done at work, reduce errors, read more for pleasure, or end the day with your eyes feeling more relaxed, personalized formats can help.
Take Advantage of Existing Readability Features
You may already recognize and appreciate the value of reading format changes. Readability features are increasingly provided by content publishers and device designers. Some current examples include:
- Individuals can change the default size of the text on smartphone and tablets
- Many reading apps allow change of reading font, text size, and other text characteristics
- Selected media publishers deliver some enhanced readability features for their specific content
- Browser extensions can be installed, allowing the change of font and some attributes of reading material on a website
But so much more can be done.
Readers Need Consistency
Across all reading devices and apps, providers need to offer a full set of readability features. Content providers must provide text that can be reformatted so that readers can take advantage of readability features provided.
