Abstract
A method for improving reading of a text comprises receiving an individual reader profile; selecting, based on the profile, a set of text formatting criteria from stored sets of text formatting criteria; receiving a first text; and reformatting the first text, based on the selected text formatting criteria, to result in creating a second text, wherein the reformatting includes expanding spacing of characters within words of the first text. Reformatting may include expanding a character spacing characteristic of the first text by an amount selected from about 2 points to about 7 points; changing a font size of the first text to a font size selected from about 14 points to about 30 points; changing line spacing; changing character scaling; and changing a font type of the first text to a sans serif font. A reader experiences improved reading of the second text as compared to the first text.
