Hacker News Reader

I appreciate the work they have done and have a great respect for the amount of research and effort behind this, but I really wish it was more affordable.

My girlfriend is dyslexic and is struggling (even with reading lessons, etc.) through college because of it. I had her read the example in the video and some of the text on their site and she was able to do so much more efficiently. I'd love to be able to purchase this font for her so she can use it when reading/writing documents for her classes, but the amount they are asking is simply too much for me.

I wonder if we'd be able to convince her health insurance to reimburse us for the cost? I can dream. :)

If she's in college, ask them to license it as an accommodation.

That's insanely expensive. Why should only the dyslexic kids that go to rich schools be given this opportunity to read easily? Surely reading is one of the basic things that should be made as equal for everyone as possible?

insane expensive, anyone has another source?
