Let's come on the video guys.
Welcome back.
How is it going?
Everybody who I, uh, yeah, I love doing videos on different types of apps.
Cause I love apps and technology, but if you guys are new to this channel, my
name is Dan and this is the aspie world.
But we think differently daily what's up different thinker fam.

And if you watching on Instagram, it will be in the link in my bio.
Don't forget to go and get it.
Okay.
So basically I've done lots of videos on different types of apps for,
I dunno, I've done loads, right.
But in terms of, um, uh, dyslexia, I haven't really done that many,
so I've got my iPhone right here right now, which is the new iPhone.
Um, let's just came out actually.
So yeah, this is, this is cool.
I'm really, I'm really excited.
I'm using this new iPhone.
It's kind of cool.
It's groovy and the cameras are great, but that's beside the point.
I actually have a video.
All about, um, how this iPhone, the latest iPhone is very good for
people on the autism spectrum and how this technology can improve the
lives of people on the spectrum.
So if you're interested in watching that, check out the link and the descriptions,
and there'll be that for you right then.
So, um, I wanted to talk about some of the tools which I used when I was, um, doing
my university degree and helping with my dyslexia because let's face it having
dyslexia and, um, Going to university or doing school is really difficult.
Right.
And so I've made a list of stuff that I use and stuff that I've just come across
that I'd actually really, really good.
So without further ado, let's get into it.
Okay.
So the first thing I'm going to talk about here right now is text dictation software.
Now, if you're anything like me, then you're going to have problems in trying
to, uh, you know, write down things and, uh, you know, you need help with
speech and all that kind of stuff.
So what I do is I get my iPhone and I open up notes.
And then I use the, um, microphone and I, the little button, the bottom,
and I can just talk to my phone and it'll actually dictate what I'm talking
and write it down in a note format.
And also not only that, if we actually go to a highlight a word and then you
can actually scroll and see, speak, talk to my phone and back actually
dictate on time talking and write it down in a note for me, the cool thing
about this is that you can actually use this when you're in lectures, um,
to hold it up to the edge and just hear what your lectures are saying.
And it's kind of like they're making notes to you, which is.
Pretty good happen.
I'm going to probably talk about that in a different video, but
that is typically the, one of the most used functions on my phone.
I actually use it for pretty much everything because the app is
native to the iPhone and the iPad.
And so if you have these devices, I'm sure it works on Android as well.
You're able to just speak freely and then you're able to actually get a
really good kind of, um, Rock solid digital note or what you want to say.
I use it for everything, right?
In text messages, emails to even taking notes.
Like you just, okay.
So number two is an app I came across called crazy cursive, not cursive
writing is quite difficult because it's kind of like script writing.
Right.
And we all know what kind of, what cursive writing it.
So check out this little clip of me now.
So this is me actually going through, um, crazy cursive, which is the app
using right now, um, to kind of.
Just show you guys how it works.
So, um, yeah, you basically make an account on this actual, uh, on this app
and then you go through and you can just.
Take a word or a letter.
And for, in for instance, we just do it a letter, you kind of
like, it shows you what to do and you just drag your pencil down.
And so it shows you how to actually draw the, uh, the cursive version of the letter
you're using, um, which is pretty good.
And it also says it out loud for you.
Um, so you know, which, which word it is.
But the thing is, it gets you used to that technique.
I'm sure this is going to be really, really good on an iPad with the Apple
pencil, where you're like, you know, using that kind of cursive or any
kind of, you know, good stylus on a tablet will give you that real life
feel like you're writing on paper, which I found really, really good.
This app is called crazy cursive.
And it's this crazy cursive of light that is a paid version, I believe,
but I'll leave all the links in the description below so that you guys can.
Get access to all of these apps, you know, that I'm talking about in this video in
case you think, Oh, that's a good one.
Dan.
Check it out.
Okay.
So the next one we're going to talk about is writing wizard.
Now handwriting is really, my handwriting is terrible, right?
It's absolutely terrible.
And I never had any kind of luck doing it.
Um, it was always really.
Rubbish really.
And, you know, I tried and tried and never really worked, but this actual app, as
you can see in this video actually shows you the, um, how to draw the letter.
And it also tells you the lesson, why don't you complete a drawing?
It, it kind of says whatever is this one, you know, if it's A or B or whatever,
it'll tell you the actual letter.
And then you can like play a game by like, um, moving it around and doing cool, crazy
stuff, which is pretty amazing because it kind of gamifies the whole experience,
but it helps you learn the actual, um, the actual letter and the words whilst
actually drawing them, writing them out.
So you get like more of a.
Uh, defined version of it.
Cause it had these lines of like separation where you
actually draw the words okay.
Which I found really really helpful.
Okay.
So then that's what we're going to talk about is simplex light.
There's a paid version of simplex, I think, but so just using the
light vision, which is just pretty much, um, the best one to do because
it's free at the end of the day.
So, um, basically you, you pick a, um, You pick this, uh, basically you pick a
word or letter or what you want to do.
And this one is, um, word list one.
So this is like a list of words and it basically says a phrase of what
you should use the, uh, the word for.
And it's a three letter word and it says like, you know, whatever, like, you
know, I don't know, like find my ways.
You have to be like w a Y.
Um, and then it just basically gives you a score and it tells
you if you're doing it perfect.
But it kind of helps preempt you.
One thing I do like about this app is that it shows you where all the vowels
are, which is really, really helpful, but also it tells you the word in a sentence.
It doesn't just tell you a random word.
So it talks.
Really good.
Uh, it's really good at helping you understand how to talk properly and using
the right words in the right sentences, which I find absolutely fantastic.
But in the last one, let's talk about number five.
Here is one called me books.
Now being books is a reading app.
You basically create an account on this app and as you log in
there, you can see there's loads of different types of books in there.
And what happens is.
This app actually helps you, um, with the preset books are pretty much,
you know, a lot of books for kids.
And this is mainly an app for kids who are struggling on the, um, uh, on the reading
skills or writing skills with dyslexia.
And basically does the app helps you read the, um, the books that are kind
of reads with you and reads for you and helps you break down the words and the
sentences, which is really, really good.
And it kind of highlights.
Different words as well.
And one of the things I found really interesting about this is that I
had nothing, this interactive when I was trying to learn to read any,
it's just a big stretch and a big struggle when I was growing up.
So now having an app like this is amazing.
Now there is a free version and a paid version.
I highly recommend checking out the free versions.
I've linked all of the free versions down below.
Some of them, you have to create an account with some of you
don't, but these are the best ones that I found for dyslexia.
