Removing barriers to learning

Our team actively works to enhance the accessibility of Kortext platforms through thoughtful design and ongoing usability testing.

How we promote accessibility
Read aloud
Easily convert text to speech in both EPUBs and PDFs. Choose your preferred voice, adjust the playback speed, and jump forward or backward as needed. Our app is also fully compatible with screen readers like NV Access, JAWS, TalkBack, and VoiceOver.
Text & background
Personalize your reading experience in EPUBs. Choose your preferred font style (including OpenDyslexic), text color, and size. Adjust line spacing, margins, and text alignment. Switch to dark mode or select from a variety of colored backgrounds for added comfort.
Display options
Browse EPUB files in scroll or pages mode, and auto, single, or double page view. For PDFs, use magnification tools to enlarge text. In EPUBs, customize your reading experience by changing the font style or increasing the font size to reflow text for better readability.Â
