<p>Instapaper, the hugely popular read-later app, recently announced on <a href="http://blog.instapaper.com/post/31834532875">their blog</a> that they have made their app compatible with the iPhone 5 and iOS 6. Along with that news, Instapaper founder Marco Arment revealed that users would now have the option to use <a href="http://www.dyslexicfonts.com/">Open-Dyslexic font</a>, an open source font that makes things easier to read for people with dyslexia.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>In his blog post, published yesterday, Mr. Arment asserts Instapaper's commitment to help the disabled:</p>
<blockquote><p>Many people use Instapaper for improved accessibility, especially customers with low or no vision. Given what Instapaper does — capture any web page and present it in a consistent, adjustable, customer-controlled environment — it’s a natural fit for bringing improved accessibility and legibility to anyone who needs it.</p></blockquote>
<p>Other similar apps, like the Android version of Pocket, have taken a big leap forward as well and gave their products <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/18/3352146/pocket-android-text-to-speech-update">text-to-speech capabilities</a>.</p>
<p>Fortunately the iPhone has <a href="http://www.apple.com/accessibility/iphone/vision.html">a wealth of tools</a> for the visually impared. Along with Siri's dictation abilities, the iPhone also includes a feature called VoiceOver, a touch-to-speech software that reads your phone out loud for you.</p>
<p>Correction: An earlier version of this post incorrectly stated in the headline and text that Apple didn't have sufficient options for disabled readers. In fact, Apple has a lot of options for disabled readers and Instapaper can in fact use text-to-speech in conjunction with VoiceOver. Betabeat regrets the error.</p>
