Increading the font size doesn't help, and there's nothing in the free or paid offering.

This is a disability issue, either you do something or, should we reach out to the regulators of our respective countries to push you to do something?

Look up opendyslexic there is some nice content for dyslexia people and you only pay what it's worth. Even free. Just trying to get my tablet to change to the font

Can we finally get a bloody font for dyslexia. My eyes are gonna leak out of my skull for struggling to read Samsung's **bleep** font.

2023 and still nothing.

Also stop telling us we can change the size and style. That doesn't help. We're also aware by now of the font store. The issue is that THERE ARE NO APPLICABLE FONTS AVAILABLE IN THE STORE

Please actually google what a dyslexic font looks like, and you will see why those options just aren't good enough.

This tread is a few years old, but maybe this might be helpful when it comes to reading;

It is called Bionic Reading. You can download as an app, or an extension on your browser to convert what you want to read into an easy-to-read text. Super helpful for anyone struggling with dyslexia, adhd, autism, etc.

Bionic Reading is also not a Dyslexic Friendly font.

For anyone responding to this thread, can you please actually check what a Dyslexic Friendly font looks like before muddying the waters with more suggestions?

For Samsung: I understand Samsung's policy is to not tell us whether they're working on this, or what the roadmap looks like, but that is a Samsung policy, not some societal norm that we must appreciate.

Even heavily-managed devices like iPhones support the OpenDyslexic font - I'm really disappointed that despite being aware of this problem for years (and literally having an entire store for fonts) Samsung's official advice for Dyslexics is simply to just make the text bigger.

Imagine the uproar if a company told a wheelchair user to just get wider stairs?

2024 and still nothing. I am not dyslexic, my kid is. I have stayed true to Android devices from day 1 - this may well be what will force us to switch to iPads.

This is an accessibility issue. Switching the font size does not solve it. Bolding will not solve it. Stop suggesting these, or suggesting we browse all available fonts. We did that. Introduce an actual dyslexia friendly font. It has been years, and fonts are widely available. Samsung's contempt for its users is ridiculous and infuriating.
