Dyslexia is an advantage.
Technology changes quickly so we'll continue to update this page with the best apps for students and adults with Dyslexia.
For more on the Iphone4s, check out: Iphone 4S Siri and Dyslexia
From a visual standpoint, some students and adults also like the free Kindle app on the iPhone because font is adjustable
and the text is easier to read. There are many free Kindle books
(classic, beyond copyright) available using this software. You do not need to have a Kindle. There is no text-to-speech on the Kindle app.
For early readers and phonics practice, check out:
Montessori Crosswords! (also recommended by
GeekDad and the New York Times). It uses tiles that name the letter or
make the sound to sound out short to longer words.
Here's The Reading Corner's Top 10 Reading Apps for early readers.
Here are our Dyslexia Productivity picks for with Dyslexia:
1. Dragon Search - FREE
Dragon Search is a great free app that allows you to use talk commands to search for information on Google, Youtube, Itunes, or Wikipedia. No more typing!
2. Dragon Dictate - FREE
Another super free app from the makers of Dragon Naturally Speaking. Dragon Dictate can be used to dictate your email messages, Facebook posts, Twitter, or notes to yourself.
3. Web Reader - $1.99
Web Reader is our pick for speech-to-text reading of webpages. WebReader will read webpages to you and you can use copy and paste to limit the read sections. The voices are pretty good (male and female) and can be used also for Project Gutenberg books, Google Reader and RSS Feeds. You can control the speed of reading and also use a highlighter function.

My Homework is a simple color-coded organizer to help with deadlines, classes, tests, etc. Notes can be sent to your email.
5. Evernote - FREE
Finally, Evernote is a handy app for keeping track of information.
You can copy text, take a picture, record an audio message
and Evernote will keep track of it and sync to your Mac, PC, or web.
Pictures can also be filed with text that can be searched later. Use this for taking picture of instructions written on a
whiteboard, notes to yourself, stuff you may want to look at later.
* Do you have a favorite app on the Ipod Touch or Iphone? If so please share it in the comments, and thanks!!
