Hi @NannySandy, thank you for you feedback. Your grandson sounds like a smart young man! I would recommend testing some of the downloadable fonts on your device to see if they have an impact on better readability for your grandson. 

 

To see this, go into Settings > Display > Font size and style > Font style > tap '+ Download fonts'. Please note that there are paid and free options here. You can also change the font sizes from Font size and style.

 

Another note however, is that this will not change the fonts for most apps, as their fonts are dependent on the app developers. 

 

Let us know if this helps!

Thank you for the suggestion, I did download one font but its not quite right. I have also found some apps in the appstore but they are costly or have too many ad's. I would really appreciate just being able to swap from normal to dyslexic and back again in settings.Screenshot_20210521-192751_Chrome_5388.jpgScreenshot_20210521-192815_Chrome_5389.jpg

Hello. I would also like suggest the specialist dyslexic font be added to the samsunt text options also please.

It would really help and have things easier for us dyslexics.

Thank you

I have been asking for this since the galaxy2 device I had. 

 

That's part of the reason I used a different vendor.

I believe @nannysandy is correct as I am dyslexic my self and a default font would be great as the store fonts aren't quite right and there isn't a pure dyslexic font available

I've been looking for a font, thats dyslexic friendly as someone who has dyslexia. But omg, open dyslexic font is terrible, it's been proven time in and time out through research that it doesn't work for people with dyslexia, when will people learn.

OpenDyslexic font works for me; it's the only way I am able to read.
