DiLoFácil, an app that makes reading easier for people with cognitive disabilities

Universitat Rovira i Virgili

App designed to make reading easier for people with cognitive disabilities or those who need support to understand written content.

Aplicació de suport a la lectura

DiLoFácil is a digital tool designed to make information more accessible to individuals with cognitive challenges or those who need reading support.

The app is easy to use: the user takes a photo of the text they want to understand better, and the app instantly provides an adapted version based on easy-to-read guidelines. This allows everyday information, like medical leaflets, user manuals, or official notices, to become clearer and more accessible.

The app is powered by an artificial intelligence system trained specifically to adapt texts based on principles of easy reading and cognitive accessibility. As the user continues to use DiLoFácil, the system learns the degree of simplification needed, the vocabulary that works best for the user, and the formats that enhance their comprehension. It also analyzes the context of the text to preserve its original meaning and avoid misunderstandings.
