Many do not understand exactly how it feels to have dyslexia, but thanks to a new website by Victor Widell, it is now far more understandable. With descriptions taken from a dyslexic friend, the letters on the page seem to jump around inside words in a similar fashion to that of a dyslexic person.
Ever wonder what it’s like to struggle with dyslexia? Check out this website!
New website helps others understand hardships of being a dyslexic person.
Those who have dyslexia often have to give a considerable amount of effort because of this and this new website mimics this very well. While viewing the website you can understand fully the difficulties someone with dyslexia faces on a daily basis.
One look at the website and you’ll know exactly how dyslexia interferes with tasks like reading and writing, which we–more often than not–end up taking for granted.

Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
