In a world with different readers with varying needs, the idea that readers might be given the option of text formatting their own text in advance seems very appealing. In this research, differences between reading speed, reading comprehension, and reading comfort were compared with the pre‐set and self‐set texts. The respondents read paragraphs and identified illogical words contained therein, while reading two comparable blocks of self‐set and pre‐set texts. The differences in the number of paragraphs read and the mistakes made in a limited timeframe were compared using a web test that was based on the Tinker's test. The results showed that the respondents encounter different difficulties while reading digital text. We statistically proved that people with dyslexia chose larger type sizes more frequently than people without dyslexia, whereas no such statistically significant trend was observed for all other variables (typeface, tracking, and leading). We did not observe any significant differences between the reading speed associated with pre‐set and self‐set texts; however, the reading speed was higher in the group of people without dyslexia. A significant difference was observed in reading comprehension, because reading comprehension was better in the case of self‐set text used.

数字文本变量对阅读障碍者易读性的影响

在一个拥有不同读者，需求各不相同的世界中，可以为读者提供预先设置自己的文本格式选项的想法似乎很有吸引力。在这项研究中，将阅读速度，阅读理解力和阅读舒适度之间的差异与预设和自我设定的文本进行了比较。受访者阅读段落并识别其中不合逻辑的单词，同时阅读两个类似的自定义文本和预设文本块。使用基于Tinker测试的网络测试，比较了阅读的段落数量差异和在限定的时间内犯的错误。结果表明，受访者在阅读数字文本时遇到了不同的困难。我们通过统计证明，患有阅读障碍症的人比没有阅读障碍症的人更频繁地选择较大的字体，而其他所有变量（字体，字体和前导）均未观察到这种统计学上显着的趋势。我们没有观察到预设和自定义文本的阅读速度之间有任何显着差异。但是，在没有阅读障碍的人群中，阅读速度较高。在阅读理解方面观察到了显着差异，因为在使用自定义文本的情况下阅读理解更好。
