The problem Chamelo! solves

Even if the World Wide Web (WWW) is one of the main content and service providers, unfortunately, these contents and services are not really available for everyone. People affected by impairments often have difficulties in navigating Web pages for a wide range of reasons.
In this project, we focus on people affected by dyslexia and color blindness.
These users experience difficulties in reading acquisition, despite normal intelligence and adequate access to conventional instruction. For this reason, we have created CHAMELO!, a Chrome extension that allows you to change many features of a Web page. Furthermore, Chamelo offers a number of features to enhance your web experience. The features include:

  1. FONT SIZE: Change the font size of the web page using the various sizes available.
  2. FONT STYLE: Change the font style of the web page from the selected dyslexia-friendly fonts. Source: https://creativemarket.com/blog/best-fonts-for-dsylexia
  3. IMAGES: Remove Images, Read out alt texts of images.
  4. LISTEN TO THE WEB PAGE.
  5. Control colors on the page.
  6. Highlight links and paragraphs.

Challenges we ran into

Some web pages don't allow extension to do changes so on that part we need to work on
