Created by Contentsquare Foundation, Readapt is a software platform that aims to help those with reading challenges like dyslexia to more easily read digital text. The Microsoft Word version of Readapt allows users to set their reading preferences and see an adaptation of the Word document's text. It also provides reading tools like a screen mask and reading ruler.
Readapt can be used on most recent releases of MacOS and Microsoft Office.
Microsoft Office Online (offered free of charge from Microsoft) can be used with Readapt.
Readapt can be used with certain combinations of Windows and Microsoft Office. Because Microsoft Office add-ins use an embedded browser control, the browser installed on your version of Windows can also determine if you can use Readapt. We strongly recommend installing the latest version of Microsoft Edge (free from Microsoft) for the best Readapt experience if you use Microsoft Windows. See below for a summary of what’s compatible. Unfortunately, versions of Microsoft Windows and Office not mentioned below are not compatible with Readapt.
