    • Read Aloud
      Supports over 40 languages. Text-to-speech (TTS) technology is used to convert webpage text to audio.  It works on a variety of websites, including news sites, publications, textbooks, school and class websites, and online university course materials. Read Aloud allows you to select from a variety of text-to-speech voices. Some of the cloud-based voices may require additional in-app purchase to enable.
    • Reader Mode
      Read articles on a clean, distraction-free screen.
    • Screen Shader
      Shades Chrome to a soothing orange color to decrease eye-strain, eye fatigue and to appease your brain's day/night cycle.
    • Turn Off the Lights
      The entire page will be fading to dark, so you can watch the videos as if you were in the cinema. Works for YouTube™ and beyond. With a single click on the lamp button, the page will fade dark and automatically focus on the video. By clicking on it again, the page will return to normal.

To the right of the address bar is the Extensions icon where your selected Accessibility features appear. You can now pin (or unpin) any of your Accessibility features. The pinned icons, represent each of your Accessibility features, and will appear to the left of the Extensions Icon. You can turn on or off an Accessibility feature by clicking on that icon.

Be sure to select only the Accessibility features which apply to you.

As you mature or get older, your abilities may increase or decrease; thus you may find yourself adding to or deleting Accessibility features in your Open Chrome Web Store (be sure to look for new and improved features).

You can now access any website in the world; Google will then translate and read it aloud to you.

Your Accessibility features are now at your command and your computer is not cluttered up with features which are not applicable to you.

ENJOY!


Smartphone

Go to SETTINGS then select ACCESSIBILITY. This is were you go for instructions on how to make your Smartphone ADA friendly.

I prefer the iPhone since I can select only those Accessibility features which apply to me and make those Accessibility features appear on any website. Example: Translate and Read Aloud in many different languages.

ENJOY!
