Does Apple have any dyslexia support?

I have dyslexia and I've tried using the voice over and it makes it difficult to use the iPad because I have to repeatedly press buttons and other things, it doesn't help at all that it reads absolutely everything, instead of what I just needed it to read! I tried using the text speak, But it doesn't work on all of the text and sometimes it speaks in Foreign languages which is absolutely no good for me! I also use the Siri voice into text thing, but sometimes I think it has worse dyslexia then I do Half the time it comes up with things that has absolutely nothing to do with what I've just said! I need apple to realise that people with dyslexia need help as well as people with eye site difficulty and hearing difficulty I need assistance with reading, writing, understanding text and the spelling of texts! I need to be able to change the colour of the screen and maybe even the colour of the text itself the size of the text and it's spacing in the text in order to be able to read it and understand it! A lot of people have dyslexia isn't it about time that Apple and other companies did something that helped people with dyslexia!

Apple are not the only ones that create apps for the iPad and iPhone and other things! A lot of these people had a lot of text which is not accessible to people with dyslexia! This is due to the sheer amount of text and the fact that they don't get any help by the creators to read it! So this is not just for Apple! It's for anyone who is interested in creating apps! To get them to think about how their App can be used by people with dyslexia and other disabilities!

I agree with James. Especially given that different people experience dyslexia differently and have different needs. If there was an easy universal 'tranlator' for lack of a better term then that'd be something different. But what it sounds like is needed is something customizable per person, and the best people to understand that are support groups or foundations. People that already understand the disorder and can be more helpful in the translation process.
