Text reader dyslexia, Scandys

Scan any page and read it your way: adjustable letter, word and line spacing, your font, your colors. Backed by published research on spacing (PNAS, 2012).

Scan any text and read it your way.

Photograph a document, a book page or a handout: Scandys recognizes the text and reformats it instantly to your reading preferences — spacing, font, size and colors. Save your texts to read them again later.

WHY SPACING MATTERS In a controlled study published in PNAS (Zorzi et al., 2012), increasing the space between letters immediately improved reading accuracy in children with dyslexia — with no training. Scandys lets you adjust the spacing between letters, words and lines precisely, so you can find the level that feels comfortable for you.

YOUR READING PREFERENCES

• Customizable text and background colors for your visual comfort

HOW IT WORKS

1. Take a photo with your iPhone or iPad camera
2. Scandys detects and recognizes the text automatically
