Spectrum

A Mozilla Firefox inclusive add on design in collaboration with 3 other designers and Mozilla themselves. This add on is designed to allow users with dyslexia to use the browser more easily by isolating texts.

The add on allows users with dyslexia to focus better when reading from webpages by doing 4 things:

• Isolating the selected text by tinting out the rest of the webpage, allowing the user to focus on one small set of text at a time.
• Enlarging the text to make it easier to read for the user.
• Changing the text to a dyslexia friendly font, allowing the user to read easier.
• Tinting the background of the selected text in pink, a colour proven to help people with dyslexia read better.

These four things together help to improve the browser experience for a dyslexic user when using Firefox. 

This project was pitched directly to Mozilla, where they took on our idea into their test lab and awarded us with £1000.
