The Tools

Dislectek is an award winning unity plugin which allows developers to quickly and easily add Dyslexic friendly text to speech options to their game. For years dyslexic players have been ignored but their struggles are real. It's estimated that as many as 1 in 5 people are dyslexic. This means that if you have lengthy dialogue, tutorial text, hidden notes or item descriptions 20 % of your potential audience may just skip that content.

OUT NOW to the Unity asset store and itchio for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android.
