RUMOLA solves tricky authorization text filled images in web pages (CAPTCHAs)
This comes from one of your readers, Ms. Alica P.:
I have found a piece of software called “Rumola” and it fills in captchas for you. As a dyslexic person, I find captchas almost impossible to read, the wriggly, merging writing and often mottled backgrounds tie my brain in knots! Before I found “Rumola” I was relying on the audio captcha readings, which are slow, odd and confusing. Not to mention embarrassing if you are in an internet cafe!
Anyway, the software is inexpensive, exceptionally easy to use and totally reliable – it has never gotten a captcha wrong for me!
I hope other dyslexic people find this product as useful as I have!
“I have been active with various organizations over the years that assist students and adults with learning disabilities, by providing support, resources, and a wealth of information (VSANJ, NCLD, SPAN). I am very appreciative of the help and support you have offered. It has enabled me to be an advocate for my daughter Jessyca (ChARTer TECH Performing Arts High School in Somers Point, NJ), and she, in turn, is now an advocate for Students with Learning Disabilities.”
Jessyca:“The performing arts gave me the opportunity to explore what I am best at. It boosted my confidence and self-esteem, and through it, I have experienced SUCCESS! Cygnus Creative Arts (Egg Harbor twp., NJ) provided the opportunity and platform to show off my talents and skills. Cygnus took my talent seriously and taught me discipline, commitment, and, through my passion and love for dance, to always be the best and give your best, and I am truly thankful and appreciative for their years of support and training.”

A new educational card game for word formulation helps children with reading and writing difficulties due to dyslexia to learn reading and writing more easily. The idea is simple: Making words with cards! With these cards, printed by the renowned Viennese card game company Piatnik, one can formulate letters and words using play.
Scientific background:
The educational card game “Letters2Words” was developed as a result of scientific discoveries that three-dimensional symbols are easier to recognize and retain.
The three-dimensional presentation of letters supports the immersion process and facilitates the child’s connection with them.
Scientific research has shown that this process is a crucial requirement for people to learn writing and reading more easily and satisfactorily.
