readHD Launches a Reading App Designed to Help People with ADHD and Dyslexia Keep Their Place

Aicob today announced the launch of readHD, a mobile reading app for iPhone, iPad and Android designed for people with ADHD, dyslexia and anyone who loses their place while reading. readHD gives readers four visual aids they can switch on and off, plus a built-in library of more than 1,500 public-domain classics.

Many readers with ADHD or dyslexia describe the same problem: reaching the bottom of a page and realising they have read one line twice, skipped another, or taken nothing in. Most e-readers show text as one uniform block, with nothing to help the eye keep its place.

Four Ways to Read

• Prefix Bold Anchoring: bolds the first 35–40% of each word, in a color that matches the reading theme.
• Spotlight Reading Ruler: keeps one line sharp and softly blurs the rest, and skips blank lines automatically.
• Color Guide: alternating colored stripes that separate each line from the next.
• One word at a time (RSVP): shows words one by one at up to 300 words per minute, with replay and speed controls.

Private by Design

readHD needs no account. Documents, notes and reading progress stay on the reader's device, and reading works offline. readHD imports EPUB, PDF, Word (DOCX) and text files, and can pull clean text from web articles. Optional AI study help (simple explanations, key takeaways and flashcards) works only if the reader adds their own Google Gemini API key.

Pricing and Availability

readHD is free to download on the App Store and Google Play. The free tier includes one imported document, five classic book downloads a day, Prefix Bold Anchoring and an offline dictionary. Premium unlocks unlimited imports and all reading aids for $2.99 per month, $5.99 for three months, $24.99 per year, or a one-time $69.99 for lifetime access.
