Everything you need
Every feature was designed around real reading challenges — not just for neurodiverse readers, but for anyone who wants to understand more and retain it longer.
Simplify any text
A single slider rewrites the article in real time — from a light polish to plain, simple language — tuned to the reading level you choose.
Age-based reading levels
Choose from KS2, KS3, KS4, Higher Education, or Workplace. VeroRead adapts vocabulary, sentence length, and style to match.
Click any word to hear it
Tap any word for a clear definition and a simpler alternative, then hear it spoken aloud in British or American English.
What matters panel
AI extracts the key ideas from any article and highlights them directly in the text, so you never miss the point.
Paragraph read-aloud
Press play and VeroRead reads the whole article to you, word by word, highlighting each one as it speaks.
Vocabulary activities
Six built-in activities — match, fill-in-the-blank, definition hunt and more — turn any article into a learning resource.
Infographic visualiser
Generate a visual, shareable infographic summary of any article's key facts, figures, and themes.
Comprehension quiz
Auto-generated questions test understanding of the article content — great for study or classroom use.
Focus mode
Show one paragraph at a time so readers can concentrate fully, free from visual clutter.
Reading ruler
A highlight strip or red underline follows your cursor — just like a physical ruler — to hold your place on the line.
Colour overlay
Place a tinted layer over the text in any colour you choose. Particularly helpful for readers with dyslexia or Irlen syndrome.
Dyslexia-friendly font
One click switches to Lexend, a typeface designed to make letters clearer and reading more comfortable for many people.
High-contrast mode
A dark, high-contrast view that's easier on the eyes, especially in low light.
Export to Google Docs
Send simplified text, key ideas, vocabulary lists, and activities straight to Google Docs with one tap.
Part-of-speech highlighting
Colour-code nouns, verbs, and adjectives across the whole article to support grammar learning.
Share with your class
