EasyReader Personal is a 12-month licence for one learner to use EasyReader, the reading and study app from Dolphin Computer Access. It reads text aloud with each word highlighted, then helps your child understand and remember it with built-in Summary, Flashcards, Quiz and AI Tutor tools. It is designed for families supporting a dyslexic child with reading, homework and revision at home.

Summaries, AI Tutor, flashcards and quizzes: the Explore study tools

The Explore study tools are what set EasyReader apart from a standard read-aloud app. They take any text and turn it into active learning, so your child spends less effort getting through the words and more effort understanding and remembering them.

• Summary: condenses a long chapter, article or worksheet into its key points. For dyslexic learners this cuts the volume of reading, so energy goes on understanding rather than decoding page after page.
• AI Tutor: gives guided support with the text, helping learners explore what they have read and make sense of it at their own pace.
• Flashcards: turn any text into flashcards to revisit key ideas, a practical way to practise, learn and remember.
• Quiz: checks understanding straight after reading, so learners know what has gone in and what to go back to.

The tools work on any text in EasyReader, whether it is a library book, an imported document or text captured with a reading pen.

How EasyReader helps at home

For many dyslexic children, the hardest part of homework is not understanding the ideas but getting through the volume of reading. EasyReader reads the text aloud and highlights each word as it goes, so your child can follow along without stalling on difficult words. The Summary tool then condenses a long text into its key points, which means less reading and more time spent on understanding.

Once a text has been read, EasyReader turns it into flashcards and quizzes. This gives your child an active, repeatable way to practise and learn, rather than reading the same page again and again. The AI Tutor offers guided support with the text, which is a real help on evenings when a parent cannot sit alongside every piece of homework.

What it means for your family

• Less frustration at homework time, because difficult words no longer block progress.
• Shorter, clearer reading through summaries of long texts.
• Revision your child can do independently with flashcards, quizzes and the AI Tutor.
• A display your child chooses: dyslexia-friendly fonts, colours and spacing.
• Access to library books and learning resources, including the Bookshare collection of 1.4 million books.

Why it helps dyslexic readers

Dyslexia mainly affects decoding and reading fluency, not understanding or intelligence. When a child spends most of their effort working out the words, little is left for meaning. Hearing text read aloud while seeing each word highlighted takes away that bottleneck, and summaries and flashcards give a structured way to build knowledge and confidence.

Works with a reading pen

EasyReader pairs well with the Scanmarker Max reading pen. Use the pen's take photo feature to capture printed pages, handwritten notes or a whiteboard, upload the text into EasyReader, and every EasyReader tool is then available on it. Our Scanmarker Max and EasyReader bundle includes both.

If you would like help choosing the right reading support for your child, our team is happy to talk it through before you order.
