Description

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).

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
