Assistive Technology in Education

Inclusive education becomes real when technology works with teachers, students, and institutions - seamlessly, securely, and accessibly.
At IRIS, assistive technology forms a core pillar of how we support the educational sector worldwide.

Our mission stays simple and practical: help learners access information, reduce barriers, and participate fully in education, regardless of learning differences.

Why Assistive Technology Matters in Today's Classrooms

Dyslexia, dyspraxia, visual processing challenges, and reading difficulties affect how students interact with traditional learning materials.
Assistive technology bridges that gap by transforming text, documents, and visual content into formats that match each learner's needs.

For educators, this means:

  • Less friction during lessons
  • More autonomy for students
  • Scalable inclusion without adding workload

IRIS Assistive Technology: Built for Real Educational Environments

IRIS develops offline-first, secure, and easy-to-use solutions designed for daily classroom use - from primary education to higher learning and special education settings.

Our education portfolio focuses on three core principles:

  • Accessibility → tools adapt to learners, not the other way around
  • Simplicity → minimal setup, immediate impact
  • Security → offline processing and local data handling

Supporting Dyslexic Learners with Practical Tools

Portable reading pens designed to support dyslexic learners directly at their desk.

Key benefits:

  • Scan printed text and hear it read aloud instantly
  • Offline OCR and text-to-speech across multiple languages
  • Reduced exam anxiety and improved reading autonomy
  • Focused learning with wired or Bluetooth headset options

These tools integrate naturally into classroom routines, exams, and home study environments.

Visual Learning & Classroom Engagement

A document camera and visual learning solution that enhances comprehension through interaction and visualization.

Educators use it to:

  • Share textbooks, worksheets, and objects in Ultra HD
  • Annotate live during lessons
  • Support hybrid and remote teaching
  • Combine visualization with OCR and dyslexia-friendly reading software

The Dyslexic Edition includes Readiris Dyslexic software, allowing students to customize fonts, colors, reading speed, and audio output.

Mobile Scanning for Independent Learning

A fully portable scanner designed for students who need flexibility beyond the classroom.

Students benefit from:

  • Fast scanning of books, worksheets, and notes
  • Conversion into accessible digital formats (Word, PDF, audio)
  • Text-to-speech with highlighted reading
  • Lightweight design for school, home, and library use

It supports independent study habits and reduces reliance on manual transcription.

Beyond Products: A Long-Term Commitment to Education

IRIS works closely with educators, specialists, and institutions to continuously refine its assistive technology solutions.
Feedback from real classrooms shapes product development, ensuring tools remain relevant, practical, and impactful.

Our role goes beyond technology:

  • Supporting inclusive education strategies
  • Enabling accessibility at scale
  • Empowering both teachers and learners

Assistive Technology That Works Where Education Happens

Inclusive education advances when assistive technology integrates smoothly into real teaching environments - securely, affordably, and effectively.

At IRIS, we remain committed to building tools that support learning differences without complexity, helping education move forward - one accessible interaction at a time.

If you are responsible for digital learning strategies, accessibility programs, or educational technology adoption, this is the moment to reassess how assistive technology supports both learners and educators - securely, offline, and at scale.

IRIS works alongside schools, universities, and education authorities to implement assistive solutions that fit existing teaching environments and compliance requirements.
