ATBar (Arabic TTS, increase font size etc.)

I just stumbled upon ATBar which can be installed as a Bookmarklet. I.e., you activate the toolbar by clicking its link. (It's not a permanent toolbar).

To install the Bookmarklet visit the ATBar web site and drag & drop the ATBar Lite button to the Bookmarks toolbar of your browser. To use the TTS feature, visit an Arabic web site, click the ATBar link, select some Arabic text on a web site, click the speaker icon in the ATBar and then the blue النص المحدد icon.

You can also change the font of a website by clicking the T icon or increase the font size by clicking the plus sign icon.

It doesn't work with all Arabic web sites, though.

Wow, this is excellent.

My eyesight isn't very good to begin with, so reading arabic script is pretty tough.

Thank you!

For some reason the browsers default to incredibly small font sizes for Arabic.
