Accessible revision

Dyslexia-friendly revision tools

StudyVector's revision tools are built to reduce the reading load that can get in the way for dyslexic and other learners. Questions and explanations can be read aloud (text-to-speech), a reading mode adds dyslexia-friendly fonts, wider spacing and calmer background colours, a reading guide highlights the line you are on, and one-minute brain breaks help when focus dips. These are accessibility supports, not a diagnosis, treatment or a promise of results — they let a learner show what they know with less friction.

Read aloud

Hear any question or explanation (text-to-speech).

Reading mode

Adjustable

Short sessions, brain breaks and reduced-motion options.

Plain-English guide

What this route means

Many learners understand the ideas but are slowed down by reading dense text on a bright screen. StudyVector builds reading support directly into practice so that friction is lower.

You can hear questions and explanations read aloud, switch on a dyslexia-friendly reading mode, follow a reading guide that highlights the current line, and take short brain breaks — all designed to reduce reading and focus load, with ADHD and other difficulties in mind.

This can suit you if

Reading slows your child down even when they understand the ideas.
Bright screens, dense text or long sessions make focus harder.
You want accessibility built into practice, not bolted on afterwards.

Pause and check if

You need a formal diagnosis or assessment — these are study tools, not clinical services.
Your child already relies on specialist assistive software — our in-browser tools may complement rather than replace it.

Read it or hear it

Text-to-speech removes the decoding barrier so reading difficulty does not mask understanding.

Claim boundary

These are accessibility and study-support tools, not a clinical assessment, diagnosis or treatment for dyslexia or any condition, and they do not guarantee exam outcomes. StudyVector is independent revision software.

Questions students ask

Can questions be read aloud?

Yes. On supported devices a Listen button reads the question — including the answer choices — and the explanation aloud, using a clear UK English voice at a slightly slower pace.

Is there a dyslexia-friendly font and colour?

Yes. Reading mode offers a more readable font, wider line and letter spacing, larger text, and cream, soft-yellow or dark backgrounds.

What is the reading guide?

An optional overlay that dims the page except the line you are reading, to help you keep your place. It works with a mouse or trackpad.

Does this diagnose or treat dyslexia?

No. These are accessibility and study-support tools, not a clinical assessment, diagnosis or treatment, and they do not guarantee exam results.

Can my child jot rough working or see answers step by step?

Yes. An optional Jotter gives a private notepad for rough working, and worked answers can be revealed one step at a time, so there is less to hold in mind at once.

Does it work for KS2 as well as GCSE?

Yes. The supports work across the platform, including KS2 SATs practice and GCSE and A-Level revision.
