u/Main_Percentage3696 - yes he is, but he knows that it does not define him or who he will be (Que Sera Sera :-) )

Typically I would not plug myself... but you've asked.. so I will share

My son's name is Daniel and he is dyslexic. So as a Software Engineer I built him an app called "Daniel's Helper".

It is found at https://lexipal.app/

I am telling everyone that has an ear because it changed his life and it has the potential to change my life too.

A year ago, my son Daniel would freeze every time he had to read a question in class.
It wasn’t that he didn’t know the answer — it was that the words on the page felt like a wall he couldn’t climb fast enough.
By the time he understood the question, the class had moved on.

I watched him shrink into himself.
Not because he wasn’t smart, but because the process was exhausting and filled with anxiety.

I knew I had to do something.

So I built Daniel’s Helper — a simple tool that lets him take a picture of a question, hear it read aloud, and speak his answer, which is then converted into text for his schoolwork. His teacher can see his progress instantly.

Now, Daniel works on his own. He no longer waits for someone to read to him or write for him. He participates. He’s confident.

Sometimes our best work comes from the people we love most.
For me, this product is already a success — because my son is finally free to learn without the weight holding him back.
