Our Focus Areas
Dyslexia
- Text Transformations
- Real Time Processing
- More Effective Readability
Vision
- Low Vision Improvements (zoom, image clarity, image to text)
- Navigation for the Blind and/or dyslexic
- Computer Vision and Machine Learning
Comprehension
- Hi-Lo Reading, Language Translations
- Automated Text Abstraction/Simplification
Our Core Principles
These principles embody what we stand for and guide how we build our technologies.
Inclusivity
We design for a wide range of reading and perceptual needs by giving users a wide range of configurable text transformations they can mix and match.
Innovation
We use real-time text processing, including AI-enhanced OCR and image recognition, to turn printed and digital text into adjustable reading text, not a one-size-fits-all overlay.
Personalization
Recognizing the diverse needs of individual learners, we put the reader in control: adjust presentation in the moment with tools like syllable breaks, confusable-letter styling, spacing, and vowel cues—so the reading environment adapts to the person.
Empowerment
Our goal is practical independence: tools that help people navigate reading and learning across school, work, and home—on their own terms.
