What is CheatSheet?
CheatSheet is a free to use, open-source browser extension aimed at making navigating the internet easier to neurodivergent students. Currently, CheatSheet’s tools cater to users with Dyslexia, Dyscalculia and ADHD.
The concept for CheatSheet comes from my own experiences as a Dyslexic IT student. I have found that much of the documentation I have to read through can be poorly formatted with confusing fonts, or surrounded by distracting images and advertisements. CheatSheet looks to tackle these obstacles, and many more.
CheatSheet was developed as part of my final year college project. That being said, I plan to continue updating the extension and adding new features.
What tools do we offer?
Change your
Page Fonts
Websites can often use ugly and complicated fonts. CheatSheet allows you to dynamically update the font being used on your current webpage to one that is more accessible.
Restructure
Text Blocks
Dense blocks of text can ungainly and difficult to read. With CheatSheet, you can restructure these confusing text-blocks into easy-to-read chunks.
Remove
Distractions
Distracting images and advertisements can make reading a webpage difficult. CheatSheet can get rid of these distractions for you dropping their opacity to 40%.
