Writing software built for dyslexic brains — not spellcheck with a new coat of paint

Write it once. Get it right.

Dyslexia Write helps you get the words out of your head and onto the page — then fixes the spelling, grammar and phrasing that regular tools miss, including the errors that are actually correct words. Built for work emails, essays, reports and applications.

Chrome extension for Gmail, Outlook, Slack and Teams — plus the web editor built in. Eligible for Access to Work funding.

Before

"I wanted too talk too my friend about are homework becuse i didnt understand it and it was really hard for me to no what to do."

After — with DyslexiaWrite

"I wanted to talk to my friend about our homework because I didn't understand it and it was really hard for me to know what to do."

Two ways in. Pick yours.

I'm buying it for myself

You're writing at work or studying, and the spellcheck built into everything else keeps failing you — it doesn't recognise your attempts, it flags things that are fine, and it never explains why. Dyslexia Write reads what you meant, not just what you typed. Dictate, draft messily, then tidy it up in one pass. Homophones caught. Sentences untangled. Read-aloud so you can hear whether it lands.

  • Phonetic spelling correction — type it how it sounds, get the right word
  • Catches "their/there", "form/from" and other errors spellcheck approves
  • Text-to-speech proofreading with dyslexia-friendly fonts and spacing
  • Works everywhere you already write — no copy-pasting into a separate app

I'm funding it for someone else

Whether you're an employer sorting reasonable adjustments, a disability lead spending an Access to Work award, or an inclusion/SEN lead kitting out a department — you need something that actually gets used, plus paperwork that goes through without three rounds of emails. We do quotes, invoices, site licences and Access to Work-ready documentation. No procurement theatre.

  • Access to Work quotes turned around in one working day
  • School and college site licences, per-pupil or unlimited
  • Invoice or PO — no card needed, no per-seat admin
  • Rollout guide and a 20-minute onboarding session for staff

Not sure which applies to you?

Most people start free, find it helps, then ask their employer or university to fund it. We'll give you the quote and the wording to send them.

Features

How Dyslexia Write works

You write or paste text into the editor, and Dyslexia Write checks it in real time for the spelling and grammar mistakes dyslexic writers make most often — reversed letters, homophones, and missed words. Select any sentence to get a simpler, clearer, or more confident rewrite in one click. When you'd rather speak than type, dictate instead; when you'd rather listen than read, have any document read back to you with each word highlighted as it's spoken.

Writing

Three ways to say it, one click to apply

Select any sentence and Dyslexia Write offers three real alternatives — Simpler, Clearer, or More confident — each with a plain-English note on why it changed. No grammar jargon, just a version that actually sounds like you.

Writing

Catches the mistakes dyslexic writers make most

Standard spellcheckers miss reversed letters and homophones like their/there or weather/whether. Dyslexia Write catches them specifically, underlines them right where they happen, and explains the fix in plain language.

Reading

Reading modes built for how your brain reads

Clean mode strips away distractions. Guided mode focuses your eyes line by line. Supported mode adds a reading ruler, colour tint, and full audio. Switch between them any time — there's no single 'right' way to read.

Writing

An AI mentor that asks before it helps

Instead of guessing, the Writing Mentor asks what you're writing and who it's for, then gives suggestions tailored to that — an email reads differently to an essay, and it treats them that way.

Funding and compatibility questions

Is Dyslexia Write funded by Access to Work?

Yes. Dyslexia Write is assistive software that can be funded in full through an Access to Work grant for employed and self-employed adults in the UK — you pay nothing. Once your Access to Work assessment recommends dyslexia writing support and your grant is approved, send us your Access to Work reference number and we'll set up your account and invoice the DWP directly, so there's no paperwork on your end. Employers, disability leads and SENCOs can also buy multi-seat licences directly for a team or school. Email support@dyslexiawrite.com for a quote, help with your application, or a free trial before you apply.

Does Dyslexia Write work with Microsoft Word and Google Docs?

It depends where you're writing. Dyslexia Write works inside Gmail, Google Docs, Outlook on the web, Slack and Microsoft Teams through our Chrome extension, plus its own built-in web editor — no need to copy text into a separate app for any of those. It doesn't yet have a native add-in for the Microsoft Word desktop app; if you write mainly in desktop Word, paste your text into the Dyslexia Write editor to get the same corrections. The web editor works in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android.

Who it's for

Who Dyslexia Write is for

Dyslexia Write is built for two groups: adults who need to write confidently at work, and students who need to keep up with reading and writing at school, college, or university.

For adults writing at work

At work, Dyslexia Write helps you write emails, reports, and messages without worrying about spelling or grammar mistakes standing out. It works inside the tools you already use, and — for UK employees — is fundable through the government's Access to Work scheme.

For students and university writers

For students, Dyslexia Write supports essays, coursework, and exam preparation with reading modes, a vocabulary builder, and lesson capture tools. Schools and colleges can license it site-wide, with a teacher dashboard and no student writing stored.

Funding

Getting Dyslexia Write funded through Access to Work

If you're an employee in the UK, Dyslexia Write can be funded in full through the government's Access to Work scheme — most applicants pay nothing themselves.

Am I eligible?

If you're employed or self-employed in the UK, have dyslexia, and it affects your work, you can apply for an Access to Work grant. The grant can cover the full cost of Dyslexia Write plus training. You apply directly on GOV.UK — you don't need a diagnosis report in every case, and your employer doesn't pay.

How to name Dyslexia Write on your application

When you speak to your Access to Work assessor, mention Dyslexia Write by name and explain that you've already tried it — assessors are more likely to recommend a tool you have hands-on experience with. If they recommend a different product, you can still request Dyslexia Write instead; you have the right to choose the tool that works best for you.

For schools

School and college site licences

Dyslexia Write offers whole-school and college site licences, priced by number of students, with a teacher dashboard, child-safe copy with no grades or red marks, and GDPR-compliant EU data hosting. Book a demo with your SENCO or inclusion lead to see it in your setting.

What Dyslexic Writers Say

"Finally, a writing tool that doesn't make me feel stupid. The grammar check catches my 'there/their' mistakes without explaining passive voice or whatever."

"The sentence rewriting feature is a game-changer. I can see 3 ways to say something and just pick the one that sounds right. No more staring at the screen for 10 minutes."

J
