About this app

TintVision is a free app intended to improve user experience for people, primarily with dyslexia, and other vision impairments by providing a colour overlay and draggable underliner tool. Unlike other apps which allow you to overlay the screen with a coloured filter, TintVision is designed with accessibility in mind.

The user interface has been specifically created to make it as easy as possible for dyslexic users to navigate and use, making use of a high constrast colour scheme and "dyslexic friendly font" (OpenDyslexic 3).

TintVision was created after thorough research for a final year University project and is subject to continual updates.

Ratings and reviews

nice idea, but in practice I could not select any colour overlay except yellow. the underliner works to some extent when I got the hang of it, but the length of it is limited, and the default starting position set to the left side of the screen, and it's jumpy and slow to move to other positions. the phone accessibility settings has an overlay option, but I was hoping to be able to define both the colour and opacity better using this app.

The app is really simple to use: just two modes, a colour overlay and an underliner that can be used simultaneously. The latter is a little jerky, presumably because the app underneath is competing for clicks and drags.

This app was very useful for making reading on the screen more comfortable. Unfortunately it does not work on my new phone which uses Android Go. When I switch on the overlay it locks the phone; I can't switch between apps
