Jamee and Payden Miller are the founders of an up-and-coming company known as Hidden Abilities. Jamee Miller is a lifelong dyslexic and she is on a mission to help others with reading difficulties through the invention of a text-to-voice reading device. The prototype has already been created and it is small and can be used very discreetly. The device is called the Read ‘N Style.
The Hidden Abilities blue tooth device scans text and reads the words aloud.
The Read’N Style’s simple design is no bigger than a child’s pencil box. It can be scanned over text and the words are then read aloud through the use of a Bluetooth earpiece. There are other devices on the market that with similar function but none that are as simplistic as the Read ‘N Style. There is currently a funding campaign on Indiegogo for this device in the hopes to soon bring it to market.
Most see it as just a disability, but actually it’s a trade-off. Maybe you’re weak in reading, but there’s other positive aspects, like spatial reasoning. A lot of engineers are dyslexic,” Payden said.

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.
