Finally, some kind of help for dyslexic

Many years ago I was in my work place break room reading paperback book(Star Trek series). One of my co-worker who was a very educated teacher ask me why I was reading my book, she said she knew I was dyslexic but could figure out why I was reading a paperback. I told her because air enjoy reading. Okay, even though I am dyslexic I enjoy reading. Now I’m not as good as a non dyslexics, but I enjoy reading. It’s the one ability I wish I could do better. To improve my reading ability. I have been to a dyslexic doctor, yes there was one in Great Neck NY in the mid mid 80’s . He prescribed me motion sickness medication. I found out shorty after taking some motion sickness medication that I’m allergic to it. Bummer. I tried colored lens. Look up scotopic sensitivity syndrome. Honestly, I didn’t see a specialist about this treatment. I just played around with some colored lens, blue ones. I think it helped, but I just looked silly with blue tined glasses. Now this dyslexic fonts, I think this is a big win, but not everyone has dyslexic fonts that are available on there fonts apps, so I’m still testing honestly.

A font I can read!!!!! I wish I knew I was dyslexic when I was a child! I believe it would have changed my life. My parents were big readers. I noticed I had a hard time reading when I was 4-5. It wasn’t until I saw this font in OPEN Dyslexia I realized I was dyslexic all my life!!! I’m 55 years old. I did very well despite dyslexia. But I can only image if I had been diagnosed earlier I would understand why I had such a difficult time reading! Thank you soooooo much!!!! 💕

I bought this app because I figured it would help with my reading. I like the ruler tool a lot. However, it doesn’t scan correctly any of the texts. There is no trial period. $40 absolutely wasted and the way they advertise it you just see it as 0.77 per week. They don’t tell you that you’re forced to buy it the whole year. The scan text does not work because it mixes words together and doesn’t match at all what’s in the textbook. The last paragraph of my textbook was the first line in the scanner.Do not buy. It’s literally my biggest regret of a purchase. I have never written a review before but I’m literally writing one right now because of how upset I am about the scanner to text not working. That’s the whole reason why I bought the app, and the one feature I wanted to work did not work at all.DO NOT GET THIS APP.

Hello Suppppw,I'm sorry to hear this — especially since this is your first review ever, I know something really went wrong. I'd like to understand exactly what happened so I can improve it.On the scan: text getting mixed up or reordered usually comes from the photo angle, lighting, or a curved page, but if it happened consistently for you, I'd like to look into it properly. Could you reach out through the in-app support (Settings > Contact) with a couple of the photos you used? That will help me see exactly why the recognition failed on your textbook.On the pricing: you're right, there's no free trial on the yearly plan. I understand the weekly price display made that less clear upfront — that's useful feedback, and I'd like to know what would have made it clearer for you before you purchased.Thank you for taking the time to write this, even though it was out of frustration — it genuinely helps me improve the app.Michaël

Why are you trying to capitalize off of people with disabilities?

I bought this app because I am dyslexic and am struggling because of it. The first thing I noticed is I have to pay to be able to read, and comprehend information the first time. The main thing I wanted to use it for, I have to pay another $6 dollars for it to work! That is so frustrating because I turned to this app for help and all it is trying to do is exploit me. Even if it does end up working it is not user friendly 3 of the buttons in the app work, and 2 of them lead to another app of theirs they want you to buy. If you are going make an app to help people it should work, especially if they paid for it.

Hello spicy_nugg,I hear you, and I want to respond honestly rather than defensively. I'm not trying to exploit anyone's disability — I built this because dyslexia affects people close to me too — but I understand why it felt that way if a button you needed led to another purchase instead of just working.To be specific about what's included, all free: writing text and generating images in the font, using it in Pages/Keynote/Numbers/Office 365, reading web pages in Safari via the built-in extension (Settings > Safari > Extensions > OpenDyslexic), and importing/scanning documents with built-in OCR.I'm sorry this wasn't clear before you paid, and I'm sorry it added to a frustrating experience instead of helping. That's real feedback, and I'll make the in-app description clearer about what's included.Michaël
