Apps that support students diagnosed with Dyslexia
Lecito
Lectio encourages independent reading. It is an application for iPhone and iPad that quickly allows the user to snap a picture of a text-filled page and have a specific word or words read aloud. The application doesn’t require access to internet, and allows the user to select just the word they want help with, instead of reading the entire passage out loud. |
Leo Recorder and Transcription
The app transcribes voice to text, helping to get thoughts to written words faster and easier. Once recorded, all transcripts are saved and backed up so that you can go back through them later on. To reduce confusion, there is a calendar organization system built in, as well as the ability to edit and customize your recordings. |
Reading Machine
With the overall goal of reducing frustration amongst readers, this app assists in the reading process by modeling how the letters and sounds in a word go together. How it works is that when a student comes to a word they is unfamiliar with and unable to read, they simply type it into the Reading Machine. |
