How FlowRead works
Normal reading asks your eyes to do two jobs at once: find the next word, then decode it. For many dyslexic and neurodivergent readers, the finding part — tracking along a line, jumping to the next line — burns most of the energy.
FlowRead removes the finding job completely.
1 · Your eyes stay still. The words come to you.
Every word appears at the exact same spot, marked by the red focal dot. No scanning, no losing your place, no re-reading the same line by accident. This technique is called RSVP — Rapid Serial Visual Presentation — and FlowRead tunes it specifically for dyslexic readers.
2 · Sound chunks are bolded
Letter pairs that make one sound — ea, th, sh, ght and friends — are shown in heavier type. Your brain gets a head start on sounding the word out. This supports phonological processing, the step that dyslexia makes hardest.
3 · The speed adapts to the words
Short words flash by. Long words stay longer. Commas pause briefly, and full stops pause properly — so sentences keep their natural rhythm instead of a robotic tick-tick-tick. You set the overall pace; FlowRead handles the fine timing.
Make it yours
- Fonts — Lexend, Atkinson Hyperlegible, and OpenDyslexic built in.
- Colours — preset backgrounds, a full custom colour picker, and dark mode.
- Views — classic one-spot flow, or full-sentence view with the current word highlighted.
- Read aloud — hear each word as you see it (seeing + hearing together is one of the best-supported aids for dyslexia).
