Growing up with dyslexia, I struggled with reading Hebrew. If you’ve ever seen a page of Talmud, you would know letters are squished together, and some of them look very similar to each other. I started thinking, dyslexia friendly fonts exist for English; why not Hebrew?
Dyslex-Kriah is the first-ever Hebrew dyslexic-friendly font. I designed the font myself. I learned a lot about design software and typography. I also consulted with rabbis and other learning specialists to make sure the Hebrew letters are accurate. As a final step, I worked with over 200 participants and conducted a randomized controlled experiment to evaluate Dyslex-Kriah’s effectiveness. Through all this work, my research was published in the International Journal of Education and Literacy Studies. And I am now partnering with groups like Alephbeis, one of the most prominent Hebrew learning platforms. Seeing students become confident through their work with Dyslex-Kriah brings me a lot of joy. My mission is to make learning Hebrew more accessible for everyone.
