## What is Dyslexia Font?

Read without mixing up letters.

OpenDyslexic displays your PDFs, text, scanned pages and websites in the OpenDyslexic font, the dyslexia-focused reference designed to make reading clearer.

Everything here serves one goal: easier reading on iPhone and iPad.
• Convert any pasted text in seconds.
• Scan a paper page with the camera and turn it into clear text with OCR.
• Import a PDF and read it more comfortably in OpenDyslexic.
• Use the reading ruler to follow each line without losing your place.
• Read Safari pages in a clearer layout.
• Adjust size, spacing and contrast at your own pace.

Why OpenDyslexic?
Each letter is weighted at the bottom, helping your eyes keep letters in the right direction and reducing confusion between b/d, p/q and similar shapes.

Less effort. Fewer mistakes. More independence with reading and writing.

Download OpenDyslexic and read your first document without mixing up letters.

### 1/5 — Stop trying to monetize people’s disabilities

*2026-08-16*

I downloaded this app hoping to have the font used system wide on my phone, but it’s stuck behind a paywall. Can we be so for real? The whole point of OpenDyslexic’s conceptualization was to have a FREE, OPEN ACCESS font for people to have to make their lives a little easier. Do not download, you’re just going to be disappointed like I was.

### 1/5 — Do not buy

*2026-07-01*

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.

**Developer response:** 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

### 1/5 — So far… Not so good

*2026-04-28, version 2.0.3*

The way it’s described once you install this it will work on your existing text message, platform, browser, etc.… So far the only thing it works on is everything that you want to see and read you have to copy and then paste and then read it on this app so now it creates several extra steps, which means I have a 100% chance of not using it and something that I thought that I had found to make reading easier is now 100% unusual… But while it’s not usable in any way form for me at least the developer got their $39.99 well I got something that was unusable

### 5/5 — OpenDyslexic Font is amazing

*2026-03-15, version 1.1.15*

As an elementary teacher anything I can do to help my students is worth it and this font is so easy to use. Love Love Love

### 5/5 — Super. Helpful

*2026-01-18*

I’ve been using this font for years it got me through school and my career in more ways then one.

**Developer response:** Hello longtalk,

Thank you for sharing that — knowing this font has been with you through school and your career is exactly why I built it. Really appreciate you taking the time to write this.

### 1/5 — Do NOT BUY

*2026-01-09, version 1.1.15*

I have a 2022 MacBook Pro, 2023 iPad Pro, and an iPhone 15. I have tried to use this app as well as the harry potter font from this creator and neither of them work. Do NOT waste your money.

### 5/5 — cool

*2026-01-06, version 1.1.15*

### 1/5 — SUCKKKKS

*2025-11-19, version 1.1.15*

### 1/5 — No

*2025-11-09, version 1.2.18*

### 5/5 — Merci !

*2025-09-22*

**Developer response:** Bonjour MrsGruson,

Merci beaucoup pour votre message, ça me touche vraiment de savoir que l'application vous aide autant.
