ReadEase

About

ReadEase helps students and adults with dyslexia, ADHD, and reading difficulties by intelligently emphasising the most important words on any webpage — making it easier to focus, scan, and understand what you're reading.

HOW IT WORKS
ReadEase uses an AI-trained database of word importance scores to subtly adjust the font weight and size of words based on how important they are. Critical words like "mitochondria" or "revenue" appear slightly bolder and larger. Function words like "the" and "and" stay light. The result is text that guides your eye to what matters — without changing the page layout or design.

RESEARCH BACKED
The formatting is based on published research into how font weight and size differences affect reading comprehension and focus for dyslexic readers.

PRIVACY
ReadEase formats your page entirely locally using a cached database — no AI delay, no server round-trip during formatting. When you format a page, a small anonymous sample of sentences is sent to our server solely to improve the shared word database for all users. No URLs, page titles, or identifying information are attached. See our full privacy policy at www.readease.co.uk/privacy
