Augmenta11y – Dyslexia-friendly reading app
This app is backed by research and has been proven to show a 21% improvement in reading comprehension time when tested on students with dyslexia.
Augmenta11y is a one-stop platform that aims at making life easier on a regular basis, simplifying the process of interacting with objects and text-based data (such as billboards, street signs, hard copy documents, online data) that one may encounter with through the course of their day.
The app helps those with dyslexia absorb and interact with reading material with comfort. It provides a vast array of customizable options, rendering the text to be completely user-customizable based on their preferences. It serves as the ultimate assistant while dealing with the effects of a condition such as dyslexia.
It helps them be more independent, by ensuring ease of accessibility and usability. The application is fairly intuitive to use, simply point your device at the object at hand and let Augmenta11y work its magic.
Augmenta11y can assist you in the following ways:
User-Customization:
Font-size, font-style, text color, line-height ratio, text to background contrast and letter spacing are the few initial options provided. Find the combination of such adjustments that are tailored to aid you to consume real-world data better.
Read-Aloud:
To better understand the text at hand, Augmenta11y will assist you by reading the rendered data out loud to you!
History Log:
Augmenta11y will keep a close tab on all data encountered by you for future reference, allowing you to revisit it whenever required.

Great app. But scanning large chapters is cumbersome specially if you are doing it alone. Could you please considering an option to provide a pdf book which the app could re-format or read aloud in preferred mode ?
A very good initiative taken by the students to develop this app.This app will surely help students with dyslexia to properly visualise & reading would be easy for them...Well done

Great initiative, kudos to Oswald Labs
love the app
Being dyslexic myself I find this app pretty hard, if reading from a page is hard for me this didn't really help me at all because instead I'd just be reading it from my phone in the same normal text that I struggle reading so I was still just as slow and having to go over the text again and again to make sure I wasn't missing anything and it ended up being more or a pain to use than actaully reading from the page. I do like this idea tho, but I think it's needs to be better thought out.
