Re-Lay Out Any Text for Easier Reading
Sometimes the text isn't too hard — the layout is. This re-sets a pasted block into a dyslexia-friendly sheet: larger line spacing, a calmer face, darker ink on warm paper, and a plain summary that pulls the sentence doing the work. Same words, less fight. Local only; the text never leaves the tab.

The workflow
Paste the text as-is
A form, a letter, a notice, a textbook paragraph — paste the block. The tool keeps the words and changes the layout, so nothing you need is lost.
Read the summary line first
The summary pulls the first sentence — usually the point — and the key numbers into one line under the rule. Reading it first gives you the map before the terrain.
Read the re-set text in short line-chunks
The sheet uses generous line spacing and shorter line length. If a line still fights, cover the ones below it with a card and read one line at a time — the layout is a tool, not a cure.
Use it as a bridge, not a crutch
The point is to get the information and build stamina. Re-set the text you must read today; the easier reading is the win, not the layout itself.
Worked example
Sample: a dense 90-word notice, re-set Words ~90 Line spacing 1.9 (from 1.4) Summary 1 line, the point of the notice Key numbers 2 pulled out Uploaded nothing — re-set in the tab
Numbers above are sample data produced by the tool's own pre-loaded example, run in the browser — not averages or measured benchmarks.
What breaks this
Pasting an image of text gives the tool nothing — it reads text, not pictures. Expecting the re-layout to teach reading over-promises: it removes a layout barrier, it doesn't remove the work. Re-laying out a whole book at once makes a summary line too vague to help — one section at a time keeps the summary honest.
