"The app can scan any text with the camera and convert it into syllable script. That's an absolute game-changer! Now the choice of texts is so much wider, and even individual passages from the Harry Potter books can finally be read independently."

What age is ReadBee suitable for?
ReadBee works best for children of primary-school age — from around 6 years old. The app is used in grades 1 through 6, both at home and in the classroom. Since font size, syllable highlighting, and reading speed can all be adjusted freely, the app adapts to each child's stage of development.

How ReadBee came to be

An app built for one boy — now helping hundreds of children.

"

I can't read this!

Ignasi's son opens the book — adventure, dragons, exactly his kind of thing — and throws it in the corner. He's in second grade, freshly diagnosed with dyslexia.

More than a year of therapy, syllable cards, word exercises. The methods were sound, the therapist dedicated, the teacher supportive. And yet: the texts his son was supposed to practice with simply didn't interest him. Reading stayed a struggle. The books stayed closed.

At some point, Ignasi asked himself a different question. Not: Why does my son find this so hard? But: what if the problem isn't him, but the material?

In late 2024, using AI tools, he builds a first version of the app. Rough, unfinished, but working. He scans pages, prepares the texts, puts the tablet in front of his son. And his son starts reading.

When the teacher reports the enormous progress six weeks later and sees the app, her comment is clear: "This is exactly what we're missing — in school, in therapy!" Together with Andreas, Ignasi rebuilds the app from the ground up.

ReadBee has been available on the App Store since fall 2025. By now, over 100 schools and three media centers use the app — and Ignasi's son reads. Not because he has to, but because he wants to. The book with the dragons no longer sits untouched on the shelf.
