Problem Statement & Expected Outcome
Problem Statement
Children with dyslexia or similar learning disabilities often face difficulties in reading and writing. Traditional learning aids are limited in their ability to provide real-time text simplification, readability enhancements, and handwriting feedback.
Expected Outcome
A browser-based writing pad combined with real-time text simplification and optional handwriting capture. This solution helps children write and read with confidence while enabling teachers and parents to track progress.
Abstract
This project integrates a digital writing pad with a text-simplification engine based on Dyslexiview. It allows students to write, convert handwriting to text, and view simplified, high-contrast layouts. The system uses Python Flask for backend logic and a React front end for a smooth, responsive interface. Tesseract OCR handles handwriting recognition, while customizable fonts and spacing enhance readability
Progress Checklist
- Backend Flask server running
- React UI connected
- OCR installed and tested
- Writing pad input captured and simplified
- Teacher/parent dashboard live
