Dyslexia Reading & Writing Stack
For adults and students who find reading, writing, or spelling effortful in any context
This is a complete, step-by-step AI workflow you can set up yourself. Each step names the tool, explains exactly what it does for you, and shows what it costs. Work through them in order, or take only the steps that fit.
The 5-step stack

1
Speechify →
All reading: Make this your default for any text longer than a paragraph. Emails, articles, PDFs, Slack messages — use the browser extension to listen to anything instantly.

2
Otter.ai (dictation) →
Writing by voice: Speak your first draft instead of typing it. Otter transcribes your spoken ideas in real time. Edit the transcript rather than composing from scratch.

Grammarly →
Spelling & grammar: Install the browser extension and use it everywhere you type. Grammarly’s contextual spell-checking catches phonetic spelling errors that standard spellcheck misses.

ChatGPT (rewriting & summaries) →
Comprehension: Paste any complex document and ask ChatGPT to “summarise this in plain English” or “explain this in bullet points.” Reduces re-reading fatigue significantly.
