Frequently Asked Questions

How can text to speech help someone with dyslexia?

Text to speech adds spoken language to written material. Some dyslexic readers find it useful to hear the words, follow synchronized highlighting, adjust the pace, or combine listening with visual reading. Individual preferences vary.

Is Readify a dyslexia diagnosis or treatment tool?

No. Readify is an assistive reading tool, not a screening, diagnostic, teaching, or treatment service. For an assessment or individualized educational guidance, consult an appropriately qualified professional.

Do I need a dyslexia diagnosis to use Readify?

No. Anyone can use Readify's text-to-speech, speed controls, and highlighting when those options make reading more comfortable or convenient.

Readify supports EPUB, PDF, DOCX, AZW, MOBI, and TXT files. It can also read compatible web content through the Readify browser extension.
