What it does
Grants vision-impaired Google Chrome users increased accessibility by converting most all rendered text in a web page to braille.
How we built it
It's a single js script that listens to page updates and the toggle on/off button, and injects a css file that replaces the page's font family to a custom one containing the font of my choice.
Challenges we ran into
The original version wouldn't dynamically update, but that has since been corrected.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The implementation covers a very large % of text appearing on screen, which has implications for future/other projects.
What we learned
Creating Google Chrome extensions is easy.
What's next for Blind Mode
It's awaiting approval to be dowloaded through the official Google Chrome Web Store!
