Readaction: Turn News into Action
Readaction is a Chrome extension developed by Purpose Powered Products. It falls under the category of Browsers and is classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory. This free program aims to empower users to take action based on the news articles they read.
Readaction offers three main features to help users make informed decisions. Firstly, it indicates the bias of news articles on a spectrum from liberal to conservative, using the Bipartisan Press API and machine learning. This allows readers to assess the balance of the information they consume and understand how certain perspectives align with political parties.
Secondly, Readaction highlights key terminology within articles, enabling readers to focus on important figures and topics relevant to upcoming election cycles. This feature helps users stay informed about vital issues and make educated decisions.
Lastly, the extension lists measures and candidates mentioned in and related to the article. This feature empowers readers to take action based on the knowledge they gain. By processing the information they read, users can find representatives and measures on upcoming election ballots that align with their interests. The extension sources this information from the WeVoteUSA API.
With Readaction, users can turn the headlines they read into actionable steps, promoting engagement and informed decision-making.
