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.
