About this tool

Dyslexia Font Converter is a small, free tool for making text easier to read: choose a readable font, adjust spacing and colours, and take the result into Word, Google Docs or a PDF.

Try it on your text

What it does

It is built for students, parents and teachers who want to reformat a worksheet, a letter or an article quickly. It doesn’t need an account or an app. Everything happens in your browser, so it also works with private documents.

The fonts and their licences

All fonts are hosted on this site and are free, open-source fonts under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. You may use, share and embed them, including in commercial work.

The Lexend and Atkinson Hyperlegible web versions on this site are subset to Latin characters to load faster; OpenDyslexic is served unmodified. The downloadable .zip files contain the original font files with their licence.

Open-source libraries

Word files are read with mammoth.js (BSD-2-Clause) and created with docx (MIT). Read aloud uses your browser’s built-in speech voices.

A note on expectations

A font is a reading aid, not a cure. Research has not shown that dyslexia fonts improve reading on average, though many people prefer them. See What is a dyslexia font? for the details.

Convert your text

Everything stays in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Download font

DOCX and copied text keep the font name. The computer that opens them needs the font installed — use “Download font”.
