About this app

Reading affects almost all other learning processes. But between 5-15% of the world’s population suffers from Dyslexia. More reading is done every day on screens and devices, so work has naturally been done changing background, font and font color. These increase fluency for about 17% of Dyslexics. HexaDyslexia does that, AND ALSO changes the color of every letter. This may disrupt misinterpretations in the cerebellum. (This is theory; but our research says it increases fluency for ~60% of Dyslexics.) The prototype is an app. We want to implement it as a browser plugin, and on the OS level.

Ratings and reviews

Absolutely fantastic idea with this app for an adult learner diagnosed recently. With the sample text I was able to read at probably 1.5×, if not more, speedily than had it been in black. Gave 3 stars as the app needs developing so it functions well when typing/back spacing etc. But the idea is fab and will benefit learners. Keep going with it guys!

Too much keyboard lag, Space bar not working properly.

Busted, I made a noted and save it but now it gone the app freezes up not good
