Accessibility Reader

**v1.42** - A softer, more tactile look. Every button — the floating bar, the Aa button, the settings panel and the dictionary pop-up — is now rounded and gently shaded, like pressed clay, and dips in when you tap it. Much easier on the eyes than flat, hard-edged buttons. - It follows your reading mode: warm cream when Dark mode is off, soft charcoal when it's on, switching the moment you flip it. - The bar's buttons keep their colours, so everything is where you left it. - The dictionary pop-up's small print — pronunciation and example sentences — is darker in light mode, so it's easier to read. **v1.41** - Tap-to-define answers with the word's meaning, not its grammar. Looking up an everyday form — depended, children, faster — returned only a note like "past participle of depend"; it now follows that through to the definition of the word behind it and keeps the grammar as a subtitle. - The backup dictionary service had gone offline, so some lookups stalled before giving up. It has been replaced with one that answers. - Fixed: a few common words, among them run and set, defined themselves as a language code rather than as the word you tapped. - Fixed: stray formatting text could appear at the end of a definition. **v1.40** - Screen rotation lock on the floating bar — holds the page whichever way you are holding the phone. Phones and tablets, while fullscreen is ON. - Margins now work in fullscreen. The button had been non-functional since v1.19. - Entering fullscreen no longer shows Android's "swipe down to exit" notice two or three times over (although still remains sluggish in Vivaldi). **v1.39** - The article's own lead photograph is carried into the reading view when possible. - A Show pictures switch — read just the words, and still share the file with its pictures if you want them. - The bar's F button is gone; the font list absorbed it, and the font you read in can be pinned as your default. **v1.38** - A shared EPUB optionally carries the article's pictures inside it. **v1.37** - Save an article as an EPUB — a real book file, with the reading font embedded, and the only share route that works on sites you have to log into. You can send these to your e-readers!! **v1.36** - A Dot launcher size: just a teal marker showing where to tap, with the tap area unchanged. ________________________________________________________ Accessibility Reader turns any article into a clean, comfortable reading view — with the fonts, colors, and controls that work for YOUR eyes. A small floating "Aa" button sits quietly in the corner of every page — drag it up or down if it lands somewhere awkward. Tap it and the article opens in Focus Mode: ads, sidebars, and clutter stripped away, leaving just the words. A floating button bar then gives you one-tap control over everything while you read. (Prefer the toolbar icon? That still works too.) READING COMFORT • Focus Mode — extracts the article and removes distractions • 27 reading fonts, including two drawn specifically for accessibility and built right in, with nothing to download: – OpenDyslexic (the default) — weighted letter shapes that help readers with dyslexia tell similar letters apart – Atkinson Hyperlegible — from the Braille Institute, designed so easily-confused characters stay distinct for low-vision readers • Plus a broad range of the everyday typefaces already installed on your device — serif, sans-serif, and monospace — so you can settle on whichever one reads easiest for you • Pictures on or off in the reading view — keep the article's photographs, lead image and all, or switch to just the words • Dark mode with one tap • Adjustable text size, line spacing, alignment, and margins • A+ and A− buttons on the bar for instant bigger or smaller text while you read • Brightness dimming for reading in dark rooms • Fullscreen mode for zero distractions • Screen rotation lock on phones and tablets — hold the page the way you are holding it, so leaning back does not spin the article (works while fullscreen is ON) LISTEN INSTEAD • Read Aloud speaks the article with text-to-speech — pause and resume anytime • A speaking-speed control in settings, for engines that support it BUILT-IN DICTIONARY • Select any word to see a quick definition right on the page — no need to leave the article SHARE WHAT YOU'RE READING • Send the article on as plain text — it goes anywhere: text messages, chat apps, email, or your notes • On a computer it copies straight to the clipboard, ready to paste • Or save it as an EPUB — a real book file your e-reader or reading app opens, with the article's pictures carried inside it and the ads left behind • Prefer words only? The EPUB can be built without pictures, for a smaller file MADE TO FIT YOU • The floating button bar can sit on the right or left edge of the screen (great for left-handed use on phones and tablets) • Drag it up or down to wherever your thumb rests • It fades out while you read and wakes with a tap • Show only the buttons you use — hide the rest in settings • Four button sizes, from compact to extra-large — bigger, easier tap targets if you want them • Pin the font you read in as your default, so Reset all comes back to it instead of starting over • Settings open right on the page, so you never lose your place • The Aa button moves too — drag it up or down to park it clear of a site's own floating buttons • Or shrink it — Small, or a Dot that leaves just a marker showing where to tap, with the tap area unchanged Your settings are saved and applied automatically on every page.
