Dyslexia is a reading disorder characterized by difficulty
with learning to read fluently or with accurate comprehension, despite normal
or above-average intelligence. Our today’s App of the Day, will help people suffering from Dyslexia. Dyslexia Toolbox
is a free, revolutionary app that will be helpful to many people. It is created
by Dyslexic people and specialists, which is another reason why it will be of
extreme help.
It will offer camera overlay for reading and writing. This
will be really helpful to people who suffer from visual stress. Of course there
are customizable colors and font and text input/output aid. There is even a
simple event organizer tool and dictionary. The app will help to put alphabets,
months of the year, date formats, left and right in order.
Talking to the developers, they stated that they will make
the app even better in the future. There is great feedback for the app and it
has already won and has been nominated for awards. Dyslexia Toolbox is
available for devices with iOS 5.0 or later.
