Dyslexia Browser is a web browser built for dyslexic readers. Calm colors, clear dyslexia-friendly fonts, a clutter-free reader view and natural read aloud on every website you visit, so reading online feels easier. COLOUR OVERLAY ON ANY PAGE Lay a soft tinted filter over every website to ease glare and visual stress and help words stay still. Pick from yellow, peach, pink, lilac, blue, aqua, green or grey, or mix your own color, then set the strength. Tap the glasses button to switch it on or off. READER VIEW WITHOUT THE CLUTTER Tap Aa on any article to see just the words: no adverts, pop-ups or sidebars. Read it in your own font and colors, and change themes and text size from the bar at the bottom without losing your place. Highlight text first to read only that part. DYSLEXIA-FRIENDLY FONTS Choose OpenDyslexic, Lexend, Comic Sans or Sylexiad Serif, then fine-tune text size, word spacing and line height until reading feels right. READ ALOUD WITH WORD HIGHLIGHTING Tap Listen and the page is read to you, with each word highlighted as it's spoken so you can follow along. Pick the voice you like best and preview it, and download Enhanced or Premium voices for an even more natural sound. Great for proofreading, homework and long articles. SIMPLIFY* Tap Simplify to rewrite long, complicated articles in plain English, then switch back to the original any time. COLOUR THEMES MADE FOR READING Cream, Peach, Mint, Sky, Lilac and Night themes pair a background with a text color that reads well on it, or create a custom theme of your own.

This app makes it possible for non-blind people to learn Braille (6- and 8-point "Braille" writing). In the app, you can choose between the German, English and French program version. In the German area, all Braille characters of long and shorthand are available. In the English area, Grade 2 braille can be trained. Different areas can be selected for training. The app supports the "Voice Over" function, also for the braille dots. In addition, a text in Braille (full writing only) can be translated into readable text (called "blackletter" in the blind area) using a function. If the output should not be visible to bystanders, the output can also be switched off. In case of double braille codes, the corresponding characters are displayed for selection (only available in the English area, e.g. for "ff", "to" and "!"). To create own Braille texts, a text can be entered, which is then output in full Braille (with and without additional black letters). Custom Braille codes for letter sequences are also taken into account (e.g. "SCH" in German or "the" in English).

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Dyslexia Browser at 4.4 against Braille Trainer's 1.0. Dyslexia Browser also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). Braille Trainer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
