Free guides Research-backed Beginner to advanced

Accruva is a reading tool, not a medical product. It doesn’t diagnose or treat ADHD, dyslexia, or any condition.

Every guide here is built around how ADHD, dyslexic, and neurodivergent people actually read. They walk through the five reading modes, the research behind them, and how to set them up for the way your attention works. New here? Start with the reading speed test or the first 10 minutes walkthrough.

Resources FAQ

Reading resources questions, answered

If your question isn’t here, email us at support@accruva.app.

Which reading mode works best for ADHD?
Most ADHD readers do well with Focus mode (RSVP, one word at a time with a tinted focus point), often paired with the ADHD/Zen accessibility setting, which dims the screen to near-black and strips the page down to the single word you’re reading. Focus suppresses the peripheral visual noise that pulls attention away; the ADHD/Zen overlay removes the clutter around it. The Moussaoui 2025 study on RSVP and ADHD covers the evidence, and the Accessibility page covers how to set them up.
How does Atkinson Hyperlegible help dyslexic readers?
Atkinson Hyperlegible was developed by the Braille Institute specifically to make character shapes more distinguishable from each other (less b/d confusion, less m/n confusion). Combined with adjustable letter spacing, word spacing, and line height, it makes reading easier for many dyslexic readers. It’s free on every Accruva plan. More on the Accessibility page and the Science page.
Where should I start if I’m new to Accruva?
Three places, in order: test your reading speed to set a baseline, read the first 10 minutes walkthrough, then try one reading mode for a week. Most new users settle on Focus mode, often with the ADHD/Zen setting switched on, within their first few sessions.
Are the guides on this page free?
Yes, every guide on this page is free. So is the Accruva Free tier: all five reading modes and every accessibility feature, free forever, with no time limit. We only charge for Pro, which lifts the daily caps. We never charge for educational content.
What if I read slowly? Is Accruva still for me?
Reading slowly isn’t a problem to solve. Slow reading often goes with deeper comprehension, especially for dense or technical text. The goal of Accruva isn’t to push your WPM as high as possible; it’s to give you tools that match how your brain reads. The Science page covers what we mean and why traditional speed-reading techniques mostly fail.
How often is new content published?
New research summaries, reading guides, and product updates land on the blog regularly. Check there for the freshest reading. The resource hubs on this page (Getting Started, Science, Students, and the rest) are updated whenever the underlying app features change.
