Dyslexia Reading Lens — Features and limitations

What Dyslexia Reading Lens does

Dyslexia Reading Lens is a personal reading and comprehension workspace for people who find text visually overwhelming, tiring, or hard to understand. It is practical and respectful — designed to support reading comfort, not to claim a cure for dyslexia.

Paste text, scan printed pages, or import PDFs and images into a local library. Open any document in a dyslexia-friendly reader with focus tools, listen with text-to-speech highlighting, and use AI to simplify, summarise, or explain difficult words when you need help.

Who is Dyslexia Reading Lens for?

The app is built for learners and adults who want scan, read, listen, and AI comprehension in one calm place instead of juggling several apps.

University and sixth-form students with dyslexia
Adults managing emails, PDFs, and work documents
Parents supporting children with reading difficulties
People with ADHD or reading fatigue
Non-native English readers working through dense text
Anyone who prefers listening while following highlighted text

Key features

Why use Dyslexia Reading Lens?

Many readers stitch together a scanner app, a customisable reader, a TTS app, and an AI tool. Dyslexia Reading Lens brings those steps into one focused iOS workspace with privacy-first defaults: your library and AI processing stay on your device.

The free tier is genuinely useful for trying the core loop. Pro subscriptions unlock higher limits for scanning, listening, and AI when you need them every day.

Important notes

Dyslexia Reading Lens is designed to support reading comfort and comprehension. It does not guarantee specific educational outcomes. Fonts and display settings are personal preferences, not clinical treatments.

AI tools run on your device. See the app-specific privacy policy for details of data handling. You can delete all app data from Profile → Privacy.
