French tech could make computing dyslexia-friendly

It’s the company’s second product that helps to make life easier for those with dyslexia.

It's been reported that 780 million people worldwide have dyslexia, a learning disability that makes it harder for a person to read and write.

Three years ago, a French company, Lili for Life, created a lamp to help school-age children with dyslexia.

This year, during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025, the company revealed its latest product. It's a 27-inch monitor that works by implementing the same technology to improve the lives of people with this disability.

"We know now that people with dyslexia have two dominant eyes. So, both eyes are bringing the information at the same milliseconds," explained Bertrand Descours, the co-founder of Lili for Life. This causes a visual disorder, which makes a person see images that overlap or "jump."

The French-patented technology works by emitting light flashes that fix this overlap, making it easier for a user to read.

The company's latest product is dedicated to students and professionals who battle dyslexia. It uses the same technology as the €300 lamp.

Lili for Life's screen works by first connecting it to a computer. It also includes a drive to adjust the screen to a user's preferences.

The company said that while the screen is not for sale just yet, but it should be launched in the first half of 2025 and could cost around €600.

Until then, Descours revealed that the company is currently conducting a clinical survey on the monitor in France to gain scientific insights into the product.
