What’s New Version 2.4.3
Minor improvements. Updated App Store description.
Description
Scan any text and read it your way.
Photograph a document, a book page or a handout: Scandys recognizes the text and reformats it instantly to your reading preferences — spacing, font, size and colors. Save your texts to read them again later.
WHY SPACING MATTERS
In a controlled study published in PNAS (Zorzi et al., 2012), increasing the space between letters immediately improved reading accuracy in children with dyslexia — with no training. Scandys lets you adjust the spacing between letters, words and lines precisely, so you can find the level that feels comfortable for you.
YOUR READING PREFERENCES
- Adjustable spacing between letters, words and lines
- Text magnification for easier viewing
- A wide choice of fonts, including OpenDyslexic (a typeface created for dyslexia that some readers find more comfortable), Helvetica, Andika Basic, Arial, Gill Sans, Optima, Trebuchet MS, Verdana and more
- Customizable text and background colors for your visual comfort
HOW IT WORKS
1. Take a photo with your iPhone or iPad camera
2. Scandys detects and recognizes the text automatically
3. The text is displayed with your settings — adjust, read, save
Scandys is an accessibility tool: it adapts documents to you. It does not diagnose or treat dyslexia.

- Onboarding enhancement: you can specify a pathology to have better automatic profile creation
- New font : Fast font : This font provides faster reading through facilitating the reading process by guiding the eyes through text with artificial fixation points. As a result, the reader is only focusing on the highlighted initial letters and lets the brain center complete the word. This allows you to read in supersonic speed.
I will be very honored if you have a few seconds to leave a note or a review on the App Store if it has not already been done. This helps the application a lot to gain visibility.
