- Adults of all ages and abilities

How these individuals would use the tools with books, documents & some tech devices:
- After customization of tools, use to experience more visual comfort when reading.
- With the isolation of text lines, readers will be able to improve their attention, focus, comprehension and retention of content read.
- Use to read for longer periods with more visual comfort and focusing support.
- Use with portable e-readers and tablets to read e-books, course work, tests and more for increased focus, comprehension and retention of content. (Protective film required for device screens to prevent scratching with this application.)
Examples
- After selecting the preferred reading filter color provided for each tool, users will experience improved visual comfort when reading books, documents and more.
- Isolate 1-2 lines of text (depending on font size) with each hand-held tool. Surrounding text not needing immediate attention will be covered, decreasing distractions as well as improving focus, comprehension and retention of content read.
- Also improve focus when reading e-books and other digital media on e-readers, tablets and other hardware. (Please place a protective film on tech device screens to prevent scratches.)
