Dyslexia Reading Lens helps make text easier to read, listen to, and understand on iPhone. It is a reading comfort app. It does not diagnose or treat dyslexia. Paste text, scan a printed page, import a file, or share into the app. Change letter size, spacing, fonts, and background. Listen with word highlighting. Use on-device AI to simplify, summarise, explain words, ask about a document, check comprehension, or make a reading plan. Menus and spoken onboarding are available in English, Spanish, French, German, and Portuguese. AI rewriting and optional Natural Voice use those same languages. Other languages stay unavailable for rewriting rather than rewritten into English. Camera permission sheets and the share sheet follow your iPhone’s system language. AI runs on this iPhone. Simplify and summarise use Apple Intelligence on supported iPhones with iOS 26 or later when Apple Intelligence is available. Your documents are not sent to Random Mini Apps servers for AI. Free each day: 3 scans, 10 minutes of listening, and 3 AI actions. Saving documents and using folders is not limited. Pro adds unlimited listening and scanning, unlimited AI actions, PDF import, PDF export, and spoken-audio export. Requires iPhone and iOS 18 or later.
