I'm not a dyslexia sufferer but I've been told that some web sites can be difficult for dyslexics to read. This problem, as I understand it, can be caused by general clutter and colour schemes.

I have developed a free internet tool, Textise, that can convert most web pages into text. The tool also allows the user to configure font, font size and colour scheme. Once in the "text-only" view, all links go to similarly "textised" pages.

There's also a Firefox add-on for the tool that makes it easy to flip into text mode from the right-click menu or the toolbar.

I'd be really interetsed to know if dyslexia sufferers can benefit from Textise.

You can get to Textise at www.textise.net. The Firefox add-on can be downloaded from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/12145.
