Mobile aids
Hello,
I recently discovered that my mobile app that I developed for the Android phones has some potential use for people suffering from dyslexia. My original idea was to create a calendar app where you can attach a photo to an event rather than typing in text. Lately I've added features like voice recording and attaching a contact to an event. I'd like to understand more what kind of features would be important for people suffering from dyslexia. I have thought of adding a voice-based event types and text-to-speech functions for events, but I'm sure there are many more features that I haven't thought of. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Please understand that this whole domain is new to me, but I'd like to create something useful. My app is called ClickCal and is available for free on android market.
