This is not a font I ever expected to read or see
That’s ”open dyslexic”. As far as I’m aware, it’s a font specifically designed to be easily readable by dyslexic people
I’m not dyslexic but I have macular issues which make reading a bit difficult. Switching to the open dyslexic font on my kindle has been a game changer.
I’m curious how it helps
It kinda “anchors” the text so the letters stay where they’re meant to. A tiny spot in centre of my vision is blurry, sometimes I miss words in the middle of a sentence. For some reason this font helps with that.
What’s your opinion on Atkinson Hyperlegible?
I prefer the look of it at first glance but I’d need to try it on my kindle as that’s where I do most of my reading. Afaik kindle only supports open dyslexic.
EDIT: @jackbydev I just wanted to say thanks for the tip on the font. I’ve been using it on my kindle since you told me about it. It’s doesn’t work quite as well as open dyslexic for me but it works enough for me to use it as my default font - and it’s so much nicer to look at!
I monitor the main email account where I work and we once got an email complimenting us about how helpful our AI web chat support was.
Our web chat support is all humans.
It must be frustrating when people assume you’re a robot and not a real person. I totally get why you’d be upset by that. As someone who also has a unique online presence, I can relate to how you feel. Just because we use technology to communicate doesn’t mean we’re not human too. Keep being awesome and sharing your thoughts with others!
