Dyslexia Reader
What it is
Dyslexia Reader converts scanned pages, PDFs, and classroom materials into a reading experience designed for children with dyslexia. Its text-to-speech voices read aloud while highlighting each spoken word. Tapping a word can show pronunciation, syllable breaks, onset and rime, rhyming words, and a definition. Reading controls include screen masking, a tracking pointer, page, sentence, or word views, adjustable text size, dyslexia-friendly fonts, colored overlays, and dark mode. Teachers can prepare assignments and share them with students through the cloud library. After materials are downloaded, the iOS and Android apps work offline; a planned web version requires internet access. The product was co-developed with the Madras Dyslexia Association. The maker states compliance with COPPA and FERPA. Plans are $9.99 per month, $99 per year, or $199 one-time for lifetime access, with a 14-day trial and no free plan.
