The current study was designed to look at users' performance with text as it is typically presented on-line - using fonts that were not designed speciically for screen display - with text that is likely to be presented on computer screens in the near future - using fonts designed spec-tically for screen display. In part, this situation may be due to differences between the conditions of the experiments and conditions of typical on-line presentation (e.g., (4,5) studied anti-aliased text whereas actual practice for many long passages of on-line information is binary bitmap text (S) studied text set in boldface whereas actual practice is regular face - strokes may appear thinner on a screen than on paper-with boldface reserved for cuemg of highlights). Nevertheless, reading from screens remains anecdotally problematic. These studies indicate that there is no differ- ence., at least under some circumstances, between paper and high quality screen displays. Recent work has studied users' performance on high resolution bit-mapped displays for a range of reading u&s such as proof-reading (3,4,5J, reading for comprehension and skimming IS).
A substantial literature on the legibility, readability, and users' preferences for fonts exists (see (2) for a relatively recent com- prehensive review). Since the introduction of the personal computer and the more recent increase in the use of on-line sources of information (on- line help, database searching, and especially hypertext resources on the World Wide Web), the option of reading from paper rather than from computer screens has been drastically reduced and in some cases eliminated. This study examines reading for comprehension and users' pref- erences of fonts designed sp&icaUy for computer screens. Two new binary bitmap fonts performed well, suggesting that designers should consider incorporating similar attributes into default fonts for on- line type. This study examined the readabiity.and subjective preferences of a set of fonts designed for screen display.

The comic pages produced by our system show that CINETOON was so successful to make a comic book from a well-known cinema in a reasonable time and manual intervention. Also CINETOON provides some classes of shape-controllable icons such as word balloon, stylized fonts, speed line and specialized icons. Third, in order to segment foreground object, we propose a simple and straightforward algorithm implemented in the background effect stylizer. We introduce one novel black/white binarization algorithm for the frame images. Second, the comic converter is decoupled into two processes: image binarization and stroke extraction. First, to capture the frame image from the video stream, we generate a workspace file which includes the frame images and script files. Our system consists of four major components : Key Frame Extractor, Image-based Comic Cut Converter, Background Effect Stylizer and Comic Elements Renderer. CINETOON provides an intuitive interface to render comics. I'm not personally a user of screen readers or other accessibility tools, so feedback from people who are is crucial.In this paper we propose CINETOON, a semi-automated system which can generate black/white comic books from a sequence of video streams obtained from cinemas.

Please let me know if you find this useful, any problems you encounter and any ideas about how to make it better. There may be false positives, but I hope it can still useful. Destylize's current approach is rather crude, replacing all characters it knows about regardless of context. Replace all characters commonly used for this purpose with their ASCII equivalents. Particularly, it introduces problems for accessibility tools and older devices which don't support such characters, or expect them to have a different meaning. Text can be made to look bold, italic or hand-written this way, but the system isn't perfect. For this reason, it has become popular to replace normal ASCII characters with Unicode equivalents of a given style. Many social media sites and other platforms don't let users select the font or otherwise customize their posts. A browser extension to replace stylized Unicode "fonts" with accessible ASCII text
