Text Format Personalization is Required

- There is no best format for all readers
- Children and adults both benefit
- Performance improvements occur across all levels of readers
- Improvement is instantaneous

Readability Matters and our partners invite additional researchers from industry and academia–spanning cognitive science, visual science, human-computer interaction, education, and typography–to participate in further study. Research demonstrates the need to shift the focus from reading solutions that are best for the population to solutions that are best for the individual.
Further study of Readability Features, diagnostic tools, and implementation methodologies is required.
