Everything LectO does for you
Every feature is built to make reading and writing kinder.
Letters you won't confuse
Switch to a font designed for dyslexia and give each letter a color to tell apart the ones that look alike. Try it here:
A picture above every word
Place pictograms above words to reinforce their meaning. Great for early readers and for telling confusing words apart.
The

A line so you don't get lost
The focus line dims everything except the line you're reading, keeping your attention right where you need it.
