Dyslexia is poorly understood. The current theories hold that there is a difference in the development of the cerebellum of dyslexics compared to the general population. (The cerebellum is the part of the brain behind the brainstem, underneath the brain’s hemispheres). It is important in regulating balance and coordination which are now thought to play a much bigger role in overall brain function than previously thought. This has led to specific physical exercises that help develop these skills. The DORE system is probably the most developed and researched of these. The results have been very encouraging.
ReadPal does not affect a person’s underlying dyslexia. Instead, it simply presents the text in a way that many dyslexics find is much easier to read. There are several reasons why dyslexics may find it easier to read. Firstly, it reduces visual stress. Too much clutter and colours seems to distract the reader from what he is reading. This is a particularly big problem on many flashy websites. The full screen mode of ReadPal just eliminates everthing but the word or sentence you are reading. No visual distractions.

ReadPal also presents the text in very large clear fonts. As reading is partly a visual and coordination exercise this makes it easier. Most interestingly though the Banner Mode of reading presents just one word at a time to the reader, (at his or her reading pace). This has two advantages. The eyes do not have to find the next word and then refocus - the text is brought to the eyes. And the words are always in the correct order. There is a theory that many dyslexics find arranging the words in the correct order a challenge. Camera studies support this showing eyes darting forward and back rather than moving systematically along a line. This feature could be why so many dyslexics find it useful.

Go to readpal for all things reading….

People rave about ReadPal. They love it; they tell us so. They say how they get through reading quicker and with less hassle. Some are then disappointed they can’t use it for ever, for free.

As a general rule ReadPal is free for up to two weeks. It costs $39 to use beyond this time. (We need to make a living out of this.) We have given out some free licenses in the past to people who give us feedback. We are particularly interested in the usage patterns of dyslexia or if you have useful suggestions then you can use the coupon LOUIS100 to get it free, forever. As long as this coupon is not being abused then we’ll leave it active.

There are other groups that we would like to give the product to for free. If you work for a registered charity you can also use this coupon for your work computer. (Tell everyone in your charity that it is totally free for them - another bonus for your good works!). Lastly, if you are too poor to afford ReadPal we’d prefer that you benefited from our technology than not use it at all.

I hope that makes things a little clearer!

ReadPal was started by a dyslexic and a reading fanatic. Each of us needed to make reading on a computer screen more easily.

We came up with ReadPal which helps you read all your emails, Word files, text files and Web Pages more easily – and a lot faster. A number of dyslexics have tested the program and it seems to help speed up reading, but importantly it takes a lot of the stress out of it.

We would like to get more feedback on its benefits for dyslexics.
