The Dyslexia Dictionary is a phonetic word-finder designed to help locate those tricky to spell words.
It is suitable for all ages, and is used by students and professions throughout the world.
The premise is simple: some words are near impossible to find in a conventional dictionary for dyslexics and those learning English. Phonetically, they just make no sense.

The Dyslexia Dictionary helps solve this issue. Definitions are provided for each word, but its main purpose isn’t to replace a normal dictionary. Instead, it’s goal is to redirect incorrect guesses and reinforce correct answers by highlighting common errors.

For instance, take the word PATIENCE. Phonetically (where each letter or letter group represents a sound) it could be spelt pay-sunts, pace-ants or pac-ti-ence.

This is where The Dyslexia Dictionary is different. There are over 400 deliberately misspelled words included to help signpost the reader to the correct spelling. All these misspellings are clearly marked with a brief definition, and are placed at the most likely places to divert then reader to the correct spelling.
