Apps for dyslexia

As someone who cares deeply about making reading more accessible, I’ve developed two apps designed to help individuals with dyslexia: Dyslexia Reader and Dyslexia Overlay. Both of these apps aim to improve the reading experience with simple, practical solutions.

Dyslexia Reader

Dyslexia Reader is an app I built to help people with dyslexia read printed documents more easily. The app allows you to scan documents and read the text with dyslexia-friendly fonts and background colors. These customizations can make reading more comfortable and reduce the visual stress that many people with dyslexia experience.

Key Features:

• Scan printed documents directly through the app using your phone’s camera.
• Read texts in dyslexia-friendly fonts that are designed to be more readable.
• Customize the background color to suit your needs and reduce visual discomfort.

With Dyslexia Reader, you can scan and read books, handouts, letters, or any printed material in a way that makes reading more manageable.

Dyslexia Overlay

Dyslexia Overlay is another app I’ve created to provide a simple but effective solution for reading. It adds a color overlay to your phone’s camera, which can help make text easier to read for some individuals with dyslexia. By adjusting the overlay color, you can reduce glare and improve the clarity of letters on the page.

Key Features:

• Adds a customizable color overlay to your phone’s camera.
• Helps make text easier to read by adjusting the visual presentation.
• Simple to use: just open the app, adjust the overlay color, and point your camera at the text.

This app is especially useful when you need to read from printed materials or screens that don’t have built-in accessibility options. It’s a quick and effective way to improve readability on the go.

Conclusion

I created Dyslexia Reader and Dyslexia Overlay to offer practical, easy-to-use tools that can make a real difference for people with dyslexia. Whether you’re scanning documents to read with a dyslexia-friendly font or using a color overlay to enhance readability, these apps are designed to provide support when it’s needed most. I hope they make reading a little easier for those who struggle with it.
