Why did we make ClearRead?
It's hard to read online. Really hard.
Over 1 billion people read differently — dyslexia, ADHD, autism, visual stress — and most websites weren't built for them. Here's what gets in the way most.
Dense paragraphs
Endless blocks of text with nowhere for your eyes to rest.
Small fonts
Type so small that reading turns into squinting.
Visual clutter
Ads, sidebars, and motion all competing for your attention.
Complex language
Jargon and long sentences that bury the point.
For millions, that turns reading online into a chore. ClearRead removes the friction.
Find Your Fit

Too much on the page at once?

Standard fonts hard on your eyes?

A short, silent walkthrough of Reader Line, Focus Mode, and the AI Simplifier on a real webpage — with a full text description below.
Read a text description of this video
A silent, roughly 80-second screen recording of ClearRead running on a real, cluttered news article — there's no audio track, dialogue, or narration to caption. Four things happen, in order:
- 0:00 — The page before ClearRead: dense paragraphs, small default text, and a busy layout with nowhere for the eyes to rest.
- ~0:20 — Reader Line switches on: a highlighted band appears and moves down the page, dimming everything except the line currently being read.
- ~0:40 — Focus Mode switches on: the surrounding page fades under a dark overlay, leaving only the paragraph being read at full brightness.
- ~1:00 — A block of jargon-heavy text is run through the AI Simplifier and replaced, in place, with a shorter, plain-language version of the same information.
Every one of these tools is also described in the Features section above, and can be tried directly — with full keyboard support, not just mouse or touch — in Try It Live below.
This video doesn't include a sign-language interpretation track; everything it shows is covered in full by the text above.

Questions
Common questions
Is ClearRead really free?
Yes — completely free, with no ads, no premium tier, and no account or credit card required. Install it from the Chrome Web Store and every feature is available immediately.
Which browsers does it work on?
ClearRead runs on Chrome and any other Chromium-based browser — Edge, Brave, Opera, and more — all through the same Chrome Web Store listing. It isn't available for Firefox or Safari yet.
Does it work on every website?
It works on most websites, including PDFs opened in the browser. A small number of sites with unusual layouts may need individual tools turned on manually from the toolbar — or press Alt+R anytime to instantly toggle your last-used reading mode back on.
Is my data private?
Most features — fonts, spacing, colour filters, Focus Mode, the reading line — run entirely inside your browser and never leave your device, with no tracking or analytics. The AI Simplifier is the one exception: it sends only the text you select to generate a simplified version, and nothing else.
