We usually like to test the apps we write about, but we recently came across the BeeLine Reader and wanted to share the information they sent along to us. If you are using it, we’d love to know your thoughts. Please feel free to comment!
BeeLine Reader, a new app that increases reading ability and fluency for many readers with visual and cognitive differences.
In eye-tracking tests carried out by a prominent optometrist, our tools provided an immediate reading benefit for over 85% of patients. Readers with macular degeneration, binocular vision problems, eye tracking problems, and low vision find our technology to be particularly helpful. Readers with dyslexia and ADD/ADHD are also greatly assisted by our technology, and we have been featured in various LD blogs and webinars. We are working with schools and districts around the country, and our tools are used in both special ed and general ed classrooms.
Here are are some things that users are saying:
- “It feels like the first time I tried glasses. It completely removes any chances of me missing a line.”
- “I have ADD and do you know how much easier this makes it to read?”
- “As someone who is dyslexic, I found this incredibly helpful! Thank you for developing this!”
We offer browser plugins, a PDF converter, and an iPhone/iPad app. The browser plugins and PDF converter are currently free, and the app is 99¢.
I love BeeLine Reader! I’m a learning specialist and educational therapist and I not only recommend it to my struggling readers and friends, but I use it myself! It speeds up my reading and tracking becomes fast and fluid. My students are also saying that it helps them a lot too, and that they are able to complete reading assignments at a faster pace. What a brilliant product that helps to level the playing field for so many readers.
BeeLineReader has made a huge difference for students! Reading can be cumbersome, especially for high school students, but with BeeLine Reader students can limit their distractions & increase their rate of reading. BeeLine Reader is installed on all our computers, it’s shared at our technology retreats, and I even tell my friends about the useful too. I encourage you to install it today!
Beeline Reader has become one of our “toolbox” tools that we recommend for students and classrooms. It is easy to use and provides students with an immediate benefit and support. I would recommend this tool to anyone who needs support with reading activities.
