Reading tools designed for dyslexic brains.
Letters flip. Words blur. Lines blend together.

Why standard reading apps fail dyslexic readers
The problem isn't your intelligence.
It's how text is displayed.
Letters flip and swap
Standard fonts make b/d and p/q look too similar. Your brain has to work overtime to tell them apart.
The words
seem to
move around
Words seem to move
Letters blur together, jump around, or swim on the page. It's not your imagination — it's visual stress.
Why this happens →Lines blend together

Text feels crowded
Tight letter spacing makes words blur into each other. Your brain can't find where one word ends and another begins.

Reading exhausts you
Even short articles leave you drained. High contrast white backgrounds and harsh fonts cause visual fatigue.
