Charlotte

Charlotte aims to make the web more accessible by providing a suite of accessibility tools, all in one handy browser extension. Create an account with us, sign in, and you're ready to go!

Features
• Select from a choice of 6 text-to-speech voices, adjust pitch and reading speed.
• Highlight text by hovering over them, using our Highlight Elements functionality.
• Use keyboard shortcuts (Alt+Left, Alt+Right) to navigate the page and highlight portions of text
• Use Read on Highlight to read highlighted text aloud (integrates with Highlight Elements and keyboard shortcuts)
• Change font size, on a sliding scale from native to 200%
• Provide image captions on mouse-over, powered by our remote machine learning algorithm
• Increase cursor size to improve visibility
• Enable High Contrast mode, for easier browsing
• Change your font to a host of options, including reader-friendly sans-serif options and OpenDyslexic
• Focus easier with Focus Ruler

Some functionalities such as Image Captioning is only available to users with an account.

To navigate Charlotte without using a mouse, we also have implemented keyboard shortcuts:
• Alt+A: Enable accessibility features*
• Alt+Left: Select the previous text element
• Alt+Right: Select the next text element

*Please note that for security purposes, accessibility features cannot be enabled before user interaction (either through this shortcut or by clicking on our extension icon).
