Hi.

The most common thing I have heard of dyslexic people using is a screen reader - or at least something that speaks the text as people read it.

The other tool I have heard of is something like a "lightbox" that focuses on particular paragraphs at a time, to reduce distraction - or using a magnifier or zoom to produce the same effect.
