Solution

We have developed a new way of displaying text that makes reading easier for people of all ages and abilities. There are three types of benefits: 1: Accelerates literacy acquisition by first-time readers. This benefit is especially important for kids from under-resourced populations, who have not had as many opportunities to develop their reading skills prior to starting school. We enable them to catch up to their peers, leveling the playing field. 2: Significantly improves reading ability and ease for people with disabilities such as dyslexia, ADHD, autism, and vision impairments. Many people who have struggled with traditional reading find that our technology allows them to read with unprecedented ease and joy. Some people are literally brought to tears because they are finally able to read effortlessly. 3: Improved reading ability for skilled readers. Our technology helps skilled readers, in addition to those who are still developing their reading skills. We help people who have to read for a living do their job more easily and with less eyestrain. All of these benefits are supported by independent, third-party research. We are also in the process of further research related to dyslexia, in conjunction with researchers at Stanford University and at WestEd, an education research nonprofit. All of these studies are non-compensated, to ensure the validity of the results. Our long-term vision is to make reading a more inclusive and efficient activity.
