DRC Tech Tip of the Week

When an online article or web page has a lot of text or elements, it can be difficult to read. Fokus is a Google Chrome extension that emphasizes anything you select by covering the rest of the page with a semi-transparent black overlay. This can help focus your vision on a little bit of content at a time while reading a web page. To use Fokus, make sure you have it activated in your Chrome extensions, then double-click on a paragraph of text on a webpage. Pro Tip: If you want to have a larger area than a paragraph highlighted, you can click and drag to expand the emphasized area.

If you have questions about Fokus, contact the developer by using the Support tab on the Fokus Google Chrome Store web page. For more suggestions for tools that can help assist with focus, please email us at adaptivetech@pdx.edu.
