The requirements of user interface for dyslexics have not been yet properly explored. Accessibility to any kind of information or just to entertainment web pages is a key factor to equality of rights, moreover it breaks down social barriers. Considering that study materials are nowadays very much accessible through internet, by accommodating web content to anyhow disabled users must be seen as natural thing. Dyslexia is considered as an cognitive impairment arising from visual similarity of letters, therefore we focus on Czech language which uses special characters. The aim of our research is to introduce an application that allows dyslexics to decode text easier and understand it properly.
