Reading and studying for ADHD & dyslexic students
Five reading modes, AI study tools, and a study planner, all in one app. Built around how ADHD, dyslexic, and neurodivergent brains process text. Not how textbooks assume they should.
No card required. No expiring trial. Android live now, iOS coming soon.
The reading problem nobody warns you about.
You arrive at university with hundreds of pages to read every week. Lectures move fast. Deadlines stack up. The reading list grows faster than you can get through it.
So you skim. Or you re-read the same paragraph four times because nothing stuck. Or you give up on the reading and hope the lecture covers enough.
If you have ADHD or dyslexia, it’s worse. Most study apps assume everyone reads the same way. They don’t. And most reading apps that exist offer one technique, RSVP, and nothing else. No study tools. No accessibility. No design choices for the way an ADHD or dyslexic brain processes text.
Five ways to read. Find the one that fits your brain.
Every other reading app gives you one technique. Accruva gives you five reading modes plus an ADHD/Zen accessibility toggle, because no two brains read the same way.
ADHD/Zen accessibility toggle
An accessibility setting in Settings > Accessibility, not a sixth reading mode. Flip it on and the screen drops to pure black with a single word in the centre, every control hidden until you tap. Pair it with Focus mode for zero visual competition. Free.
Free, built for ADHDFocus (RSVP)
One word at a time with Optimal Recognition Point highlighting. The 2025 Moussaoui study found ADHD readers gain comprehension under RSVP where neurotypicals lose it.
Speed-focusedTeleprompter
Smooth scroll with word-by-word highlighting. Configurable 1-line, 3-line, 5-line, or full-page views.
Easing inChunking
Phrase grouping with line-aware boundaries. Teal highlighting or ORP emphasis. Built for dense academic material and dyslexic readers.
Dyslexic readersBold Flow
Leading-letter bolding on every word, three intensity levels (30%, 40%, 50%). Read with full sentence context.
Context readersScroll
Free-form scrollable text with position tracking. Annotate, highlight, take notes at your own pace. Traditional reading, with proper tooling and the same library and study system as the other modes.
