Read-Lexic Glasses: True Accessibility for Dyslexic Readers

1 in 10 people around the world suffer from dyslexia making it the most common neurocognitive disorder. Dyslexia is a learning disorder that affects one’s ability to read, write and speak. Due to this, dyslexics often fall behind in school and in later life as adults. Hence, efforts have been made to reduce their struggles through the use of specially made fonts. These fonts typically have heavier lines at the bottom to anchor the letter and unique characteristics to differentiate the letters. The Read-Lexic Glasses were designed to help those with dyslexia by transforming difficult text into easier fonts using AR technology. A small camera box mounted on the rim of the glasses scans the target text and translates it into an easier font. The modified fonts are displayed on the transparent lenses. With the product, we aim to improve the quality of life of dyslexics from around the globe.
