What it does

It is built for students, parents and teachers who want to reformat a worksheet, a letter or an article quickly. It doesn’t need an account or an app. Everything happens in your browser, so it also works with private documents.

The fonts and their licences

All fonts are hosted on this site and are free, open-source fonts under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. You may use, share and embed them, including in commercial work.

The Lexend and Atkinson Hyperlegible web versions on this site are subset to Latin characters to load faster; OpenDyslexic is served unmodified. The downloadable .zip files contain the original font files with their licence.

Open-source libraries

Word files are read with mammoth.js (BSD-2-Clause) and created with docx (MIT). Read aloud uses your browser’s built-in speech voices.

A note on expectations

A font is a display choice. Some readers prefer a particular style; there is no single best choice for everyone. See What is a dyslexia font? for the details.

Symbol credits

Our visual support makers use unmodified Mulberry Symbols by Steve Lee, CC BY-SA 4.0. See credits and licences for sources, symbol licence, and font credits.

Everything stays in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

DOCX and copied text keep the font name. The computer that opens them needs the font installed. Download font
