Smart Reader - Bionic Reader by Poucous
Review by Dea Nguyen
Rated 4 out of 5
by Dea Nguyen, 2 years agoWorks well for most websites, and it's an absolute lifesaver. However, it does not work on Google Docs or any pdfs. Other than that, I'm really enjoying using it!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18248173, 10 months agoCombined with a pdf-to-html tool (such as ar5iv), this add-on is very powerful to increase paper reading/scanning productivity
- Rated 5 out of 5by emily, a year agothank you for making this. just feedback, it tries to render latex which breaks it
- Rated 3 out of 5by JP, a year agoThis is an excellent addon. However, due the lack of customization, I give this only 3 stars. If I could customize the number of letters emboldened at the start of each word, then I would give this a solid 5 stars, easily. Hopefully the developer comes out with this option very soon.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18146637, a year agoI appreciate the effort, but there are two issues:
1. It slows down browsing in some cases.
2. Sometimes it messes with the style, not breaks, but makes things ugly.
It seems you care, so I'll drop some details in github:) - Rated 4 out of 5by Noah, a year agosome sites are a bit buggy, but overall incredibly helpful! thank you from a neurodivergent loserboy :3

- Rated 4 out of 5by scott312, 2 years agoWorks well for reading documentation and articles. Though I wish I could change the amount of letters that are bold, it seems to always be two. Maybe just add a setting for the number of bold letters could be word.length / 2 ?

- Rated 4 out of 5by Retr0, 2 years agoI am really enjoying this Ad-on so far. Really helps when I need to read to big texts and articles. I would however like to see a feature to whitelist certain websites. In an ideal world I would like the default setting to be on and to create exceptions while using the extension. (eg. sites like web-whatsapp, google search page etc.)

posted 2 years agoHello, thank you for the review. I have to finish some personal things, then I'll work on the whitelist feature. - Rated 5 out of 5by Susie, 2 years agoI love this so much! I've been having a lot of trouble reading through the large amounts of text I get as homework for college. This makes it so much easier! So far it's been working perfectly on all sites I visit for school. You guys are grade-savers :D
- Rated 4 out of 5by BoJukes, 2 years agoI'm enjoying the addon, but I noticed it doesn't quite work with a live chat like on Twitch.tv. You can toggle the addon off and on and it will bold the words already on screen, but I noticed it doesn't work on any new text that comes up.

posted 2 years agoHello,
I just tried, I noticed that the subscribe button on the left has a small problem and can be fixed easily. Can you detail the problems to fix all of them for a coming update?
Thank you for using Smart Reader.
