ADHD Reading alternatives
ADHD Reading is a freemium, open-source web and browser extension that changes how long articles and documents look, using Bionic Reading emphasis, focus lines and typography controls. When choosing an alternative, decide whether you need the same visual reformatting or a different approach, such as listening, summarizing, or a free tool for a specific platform.
