About DyslexiaBuddy
Reading, made calmer. DyslexiaBuddy turns any page — printed, PDF, or on screen — into something you can read, hear, and understand.
Built with guidance from educators and accessibility research, for the 700+ million people worldwide with dyslexia. On iPhone, iPad, and now Mac.
Every feature below is unlocked with a free 7-day trial, so you can try the whole thing before you decide.
READING MADE COMFORTABLE
Dyslexia-friendly fonts, adjustable colors, line spacing, and text size. Tap Aa in the reader to change how a page looks until it feels easy to read.
READING AIDS THAT KEEP YOUR PLACE
Bionic Reading makes the start of each word bold, to guide your eyes along the line. The reading ruler dims the lines around the one you are on, so you never lose your place. Focus Mode shows one word at a time, at the speed you choose.
SCAN, IMPORT, AND READ ANYTHING
Point your camera at a printed page, import a PDF or ebook, or send text in from any other app. It becomes a calm, readable view in seconds.
FREE BOOKS TO READ
A Library of 14 classic children's books with their real covers, sorted by age and topic. Open one and start reading right away.
READ ALOUD IN 28 VOICES
Natural, human-sounding voices across a range of accents, with every word and sentence highlighted as it is spoken — so eyes and ears stay together. All generated on your device.
UNDERSTAND AS YOU GO
Long-press any word for an instant definition, translate a passage, tidy up messy scanned text, or summarize a whole document. On-device, no internet required.
LEARN WITH OLLY, YOUR AI TUTOR
A personal reading coach that can see the page you are on, explain what a passage means, break a hard word into sounds, and quiz you on what you read.
REVIEW AND REMEMBER
Words you look up are added to a spaced-repetition deck, so the tricky ones stick.
BUILT FOR iOS 27
Home Screen widgets for recent documents and quick import. Say "Add to DyslexiaBuddy" or "read this" to Siri. Everything runs on device — nothing you read is uploaded.
FOR FAMILIES, SCHOOLS, AND ADULT READERS
Children build confidence reading independently. Parents and teachers get a calm way to support practice. Adults with dyslexia get the same help without it feeling like a children's app.
Trusted by thousands of users in over 100 countries.
