Fonts and pacing some readers with dyslexia prefer.
Skimora doesn't diagnose or treat dyslexia. It gives you a choice of typeface, including two designed with legibility in mind, plus a way to keep your place on the line. Some readers find one of these clearly easier; others don't. Both are free to try.

Where it gets hard
A typeface that crowds letters together
Some fonts make similarly shaped letters (b/d, p/q) harder to tell apart at a glance.
Losing your line, especially on long paragraphs
It's easy for your eyes to jump to the wrong line, especially without a clear anchor.
Bold text that goes too far
A heavy, unadjustable bold can be more crowding than clarifying if it's not tuned to what you need.
The same problem inside a document
Switching from a web page to a PDF often means losing whatever font or spacing was actually helping.
What helps
Reading fonts
Lexend, Atkinson Hyperlegible and OpenDyslexic are bundled and work offline. Comic Sans is available too, using your system copy. Switch on any page, or turn it off and read the original.
Adjustable bold strength
The free version bolds at a fixed strength. The license lets you set it anywhere from 0 to 1, so bolding can be lighter than the default if that reads more clearly for you.
GlideMark and Cadence
A highlight or a gliding band that marks your place on the line, so the jump to the next line is easier to make correctly.
The same font in your PDFs
The font choice carries into the PDF and EPUB reader too, so opening a document does not mean starting over.
Questions
Does Skimora diagnose or treat dyslexia?
No. Skimora is a reading tool. It does not diagnose, treat or cure dyslexia or any other condition.
Is OpenDyslexic proven to help with dyslexia?
Research on OpenDyslexic specifically is mixed: some studies find no significant reading improvement over a standard sans-serif font, while some readers report a personal preference for it. It's bundled and free to try, and the choice is entirely about what reads more easily for you.
Can I use the font without bionic bolding?
Yes. Reading fonts and bionic bolding are independent settings. Turn either on or off on its own.
Try it on something you're already reading.
Bionic reading is free to start. One payment unlocks the rest.
