Scan any text and read it your way. Photograph a document, a book page or a handout: Scandys recognizes the text and reformats it instantly to your reading preferences — spacing, font, size and colors. Save your texts to read them again later. WHY SPACING MATTERS In a controlled study published in PNAS (Zorzi et al., 2012), increasing the space between letters immediately improved reading accuracy in children with dyslexia — with no training. Scandys lets you adjust the spacing between letters, words and lines precisely, so you can find the level that feels comfortable for you. YOUR READING PREFERENCES - Adjustable spacing between letters, words and lines - Text magnification for easier viewing - A wide choice of fonts, including OpenDyslexic (a typeface created for dyslexia that some readers find more comfortable), Helvetica, Andika Basic, Arial, Gill Sans, Optima, Trebuchet MS, Verdana and more - Customizable text and background colors for your visual comfort HOW IT WORKS 1. Take a photo with your iPhone or iPad camera 2. Scandys detects and recognizes the text automatically 3. The text is displayed with your settings — adjust, read, save Scandys is an accessibility tool: it adapts documents to you. It does not diagnose or treat dyslexia. PRICES Scandys requires a subscription (monthly or annual plans). You can try all settings with a limited preview. All plans unlock the app on Mac, iPhone and iPad.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Peech at freemium against Text reader dyslexia, Scandys's subscription. Peech also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (8.6K vs 26). Text reader dyslexia, Scandys's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 44%) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Peech holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Peech has 8.6K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Peech's written reviews are positive against 71% of Text reader dyslexia, Scandys's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Peech ships an update monthly, Text reader dyslexia, Scandys weekly. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
