  • Upload a Word doc, PDF, or PowerPoint (or just paste some text), and it will:
  • Restructure the layout — dense paragraphs become clear bullet points, text is left-aligned instead of justified, and everything flows in a single column.
  • Fix the typography — no block capitals, no italics or underlining; key terms are bolded instead.
  • Rewrite the prose — passive voice becomes active voice, sentences are shortened, and technical terms get a plain-English definition in brackets the first time they appear.
  • Apply the right visual settings — Arial/Calibri font at 12–14pt, 1.5 line spacing, and a soft cream background for on-screen use (or a recommendation to print on matt cream/pastel paper).
  • Keep your content and diagrams intact — it changes the format and readability, not the academic content, difficulty level, or images.
  • You’ll always be asked whether the document is for on-screen use or for printing, since that changes the background treatment.
  • The output comes back in the same file format you uploaded, ready to hand out or share.
    Good for teachers, SENCOs, and tutors adapting materials for dyslexic students or anyone who benefits from easier-to-read formatting.
