Letter-spacing

A new free App allows users to find out whether increasing the space between letters in text makes reading easier. Research suggests this may be helpful for dyslexic readers. The evidence is based on a study using Times New Roman, but dyslexic people prefer sans serif fonts. Please try the app, send feedback, and reply to this Post with your views on letter-spacing.
