LexiLight is the AI reading companion that doesn't just read text aloud — it helps your child actually understand what they read. Scan any book page, and watch words come to life.
Apps like Speechify just convert text to audio. But for a child with dyslexia, hearing words isn't the same as understanding them. Your child forgets the beginning of a sentence before reaching the end — not because they can't understand, but because decoding takes so much cognitive effort that comprehension breaks down.
LexiLight is different. We combine text-to-speech with word-by-word visual highlighting, dyslexia-optimized display, and comprehension checks — the multi-sensory approach that research consistently shows works best for dyslexic learners. And it works with any book your child is already reading.
Designed with dyslexia researchers, educators, and parents.
Point your camera at any book, textbook, or worksheet. LexiLight reads it aloud with dyslexia-friendly formatting — instantly.
Each word lights up as it's spoken. Research shows this multi-sensory approach significantly improves reading comprehension in children with dyslexia.
Most apps just read text aloud. LexiLight checks if your child actually understood what they read — because hearing isn't the same as understanding.
OpenDyslexic font, adjustable spacing, warm color themes, and a reading ruler that dims everything except the current line. Designed for how dyslexic brains actually work.

Camera scan, paste text, or read built-in stories. LexiLight adapts to your child's actual schoolwork — not just pre-loaded content they'll never use.

Every feature in LexiLight is grounded in published dyslexia and reading science.
“Text-to-speech with highlighting resulted in significantly higher comprehension scores compared to silent reading in children with dyslexia.”
Annals of Dyslexia, 2023
“Multi-sensory instruction is especially effective for students with dyslexia because these students often struggle to process visual and auditory input separately.”
Really Great Reading Research Review, 2025
“Text-to-speech allows children with dyslexia to shield their attentional resources from distraction, reducing mind wandering during reading.”
Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
“Early identification and intervention can help up to 90-95% of struggling readers reach grade level. By third grade without intervention, that drops to 45%.”

LexiLight supports IEP and 504 accommodation requirements. Teachers can assign any curriculum text, and our progress dashboard provides the documentation schools need. Works with the books your school already uses — no special content purchases required.
“Every child with dyslexia deserves to feel the joy of reading a book on their own. Not being read to — but reading with understanding, at their pace, in their way. That's what LexiLight is for.”
