Most reading apps were designed for readers who already read comfortably. Lexable is built differently — it reformats any text or PDF into a layout your eyes can actually follow, right on your device, with nothing sent anywhere. Paste a work email, import a PDF, or share any document from another app. Lexable strips the formatting clutter and renders it in a reader you control: OpenDyslexic font, adjustable spacing, tinted overlays, and a Focus Reading Mode that bolds the leading part of each word to anchor your eye and cut visual noise. Everything stays on your iPhone. No account. No internet. No data collected. Ever. What Lexable does: - Focus Reading Mode bolds the start of each word so your eye lands in the right place every time — adjust fixation strength to match how you read. - Text-to-speech with synchronized word highlighting reads aloud while the current word is highlighted, so eyes and ears work together. - OpenDyslexic font bundled and ready — no download, no subscription, just tap to switch. - Five typography controls — font size, line spacing, letter spacing, paragraph spacing, and reading width — adjusted live so you see the effect immediately. - Color themes and tinted overlays (cream, sepia, dark, high-contrast, and more) reduce visual stress without needing special glasses. - Saved Library keeps your reformatted documents ready to reopen — no re-importing. - PDF import extracts text from PDF files so you can reformat reports, articles, and study materials you already have. Perfect for: Adults with dyslexia who read for work, study, or daily life and want a faster, more comfortable way to get through text — without a monthly subscription and without handing their documents to a cloud service. Free to use: Paste text, reformat with OpenDyslexic and spacing controls, use Focus Reading Mode, listen with text-to-speech, and save a few documents — all free, no time limit. Lexable Pro (one-time purchase, $4.99): Unlock unlimited PDF imports, the full color theme library, finer voice and speed controls for text-to-speech, and an unlimited saved library. Pay once, use forever — no subscription, no renewal. Restore a previous purchase any time from the Lexable Pro screen or Settings. Your documents stay on your device. Lexable does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data or document content.
