For the 10-15% of the population with dyslexia, navigating this sea can be a daily struggle. Crowded text, distracting layouts, and difficult-to-read fonts can turn a simple browsing session into a frustrating and overwhelming experience.\n\n## Our Solution\n\nDyslexim is a web browser built from the ground up with the needs of dyslexic users in mind. By providing a suite of tools to customise the reading experience, Dyslexim empowers users to transform any webpage into a comfortable and readable format.\n\nOur approach is based on proven accessibility principles:\n\n*   **Readable Fonts**: We provide a selection of dyslexia-friendly fonts, including OpenDyslexic, to reduce letter confusion and improve readability.\n*   **Enhanced Spacing**: Increased line and letter spacing helps to de-clutter text and make it easier to follow.\n*   **Focused Reading**: Our unique gaze-highlighting feature acts as a digital reading ruler, guiding the user's focus and preventing them from losing their place.\n*   **Text to Speech**: Hover over a text for a specified period and get a narration of the text.\n*   **Customisation**: Users can customise the highlight colour, font, and text alignment to suit their personal preferences.\n\n## Features\n\n*   **Gaze-Activated Highlighting**: A real-time highlight that follows the user's gaze (simulated with the mouse), keeping them focused on the text they are reading.\n*   **Font Customization**: Choose from a variety of dyslexia-friendly fonts, including OpenDyslexic, Poppins, and Roboto.\n*   **Highlight Customization**: Change the color and alignment of the highlight box to fit your needs.\n*   **Onboarding Experience**: A simple, one-time setup to personalize your browsing experience from the start.\n*   **Modern, Tabbed Interface**: A clean and intuitive browser interface that is easy to navigate.\n\n## Getting Started\n\n1.  **Clone the repository**:\n    ```bash\n    git clone https://github.com/rohankishore/Dyslexim/\n    ```\n2.  **Install dependencies**:\n    ```bash\n    pip install -r requirements.txt\n    ```\n3.  **Run the application**:\n    ```bash\n    python dyslexim/main.py\n    ```\n\n## How to Use\n\n*   **Onboarding**: When you first launch Dyslexim, you will be greeted with an onboarding screen. Here, you can choose your preferred highlight color, font, and text alignment.\n*   **Gaze Highlighting**: Simply move your mouse over the text you want to read, and the highlight will follow.\n*   **Toggle Highlighting**: You can toggle the gaze highlighting on and off for the current tab by clicking the eye icon in the toolbar.\n\n\n## References\n- https://userway.org/blog/improving-websites-for-users-with-dyslexia/\n- https://ai.google.dev/edge/mediapipe/solutions/vision/face_landmarker\n- https://userway.org/blog/best-fonts-for-dyslexia/\n- https://opendyslexic.org/\n\n## License\n\nThis project is licensed under the MIT License - see the [LICENSE](LICENSE) file for details.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frohankishore%2Fdyslexim","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Frohankishore%2Fdyslexim","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frohankishore%2Fdyslexim/lists"}
