Destylize: Convert Unicode styled 'fonts' to accessible and readable plain text
Destylize is a Chrome add-on developed by wmww that aims to convert Unicode styled 'fonts' to accessible and readable plain text. With the increasing use of Unicode characters that mimic bold, italic, and other formatting styles on social media and various platforms, Destylize comes in handy to convert such text back to plain ASCII text.
By converting the styled text to plain text, Destylize enhances the functionality of accessibility tools like screen readers. It also ensures that the text remains readable on devices that do not support these special characters. This makes it easier for users with visual impairments or those using devices with limited character support to consume the content without any formatting distractions.
Destylize is an experimental add-on, and the developer encourages users to provide feedback or report any issues on the GitHub page (github.com/wmww/destylize). As a free tool in the Browsers category under Add-ons & Tools, Destylize offers a simple and effective solution for converting Unicode styled 'fonts' into accessible and plain text.
