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

Update. It was perfect with the color.it help me alot. But when ther is a longer note and its opened it's on the bottom and when im trying to go up to the top it goes back to the bottom and the keyboard is out. And it don't always save the notes either. Now it doesn't work to do space when writing

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.
