Dys Easy
Make any text easy to read for a dyslexic reader
Import a text (pasted, photo, PDF, Word…) and turn it into an easy-reading page: coloured sounds, syllables, silent letters marked, a voice that highlights, a reading ruler, pictures and word explanations, then export as a standalone page or a PDF.

Why it is useful
- An ordinary text becomes readable in seconds, with no retyping.
- The aids can be adjusted for each reader and adapt to their difficulties.
- Nothing to install: everything happens in the browser, on a computer, tablet or iPad.
- The text and profiles stay on the person's device.
Good to know
- Everything that happens in the browser is free and stays available, even with limited access: coloured aids, voice, ruler, dictation, export, on-device photo reading.
- Photo reading by Google uses credits (about 2 credits); an AI word explanation costs about 0.3 credit. Your balance is shown in “My Ardoisia account”.
- Features that use Google’s Gemini AI need an adult’s consent (a tick box): Google’s terms reserve them for adults.
- No key to provide. Images and texts sent to Google are not kept; profiles and recent texts stay on the device.
