Built for support
DyslexiHub is designed to help with reading, studying, and classroom workflows. It is not built to profile users for advertising.
Privacy & Trust
A clearer explanation of how DyslexiHub handles user data.
This page explains the current product in plain language so students, families, and educators can understand what the app stores, what outside services help run it, and what DyslexiHub is actually designed to do.
Trust point
AI runs when you ask for it
When you choose a summary, simplification, or voice feature, the relevant reading text may be sent to the provider needed to complete that request.
Trust point
Stored to keep the app working
Accounts, documents, classrooms, assignments, and reading progress are stored so the website can remember your work and support shared reading.
Trust point
Theme settings stay local
Your visual theme choice is saved in your browser so the site can reopen with the reading palette you selected.
Classrooms
What teachers can see about students
When a student joins a classroom with a join code, the teacher of that classroom can see how the student is doing with classwork. In plain terms, a teacher can see:
- Your name and email, so they know who has joined.
- Each assignment's status and progress — for example how far through a reading you are.
- When you last opened or read an assignment.
- Teachers do not see your private library documents, your personal notes, or anything outside their classroom.
A student can leave a classroom at any time. Leaving stops new activity from being shared with that classroom.
DyslexiHub Chrome extension
What the extension does — and doesn't — with your data
DyslexiHub also ships as a Chrome extension that reads selected text aloud on any web page. This section is the privacy disclosure for that extension and is the URL we submit to the Chrome Web Store.
What the extension reads
Only the text you actively choose to read — either the words you highlight, the text you right-click on, or the article on the page you click “Play” for. The extension does not stream what you type or quietly read pages in the background.
Where that text goes
The floating quick-play button uses your browser's built-in voice and sends nothing to DyslexiHub's servers. The side panel's premium voices send the selected text (and your DyslexiHub login token) to dyslexihub.com, which forwards it to OpenAI or ElevenLabs to produce the audio. Audio is streamed back and played — not stored.
What stays on your computer
Voice choice, highlight color, the floating button's corner, and your sign-in session live in your browser's local storage. You can clear them at any time by removing the extension.
Permissions, in plain language
“Active tab” and “scripting” let the extension read the page you're on; “storage” remembers your settings; “cookies” lets the sign-in modal share your DyslexiHub session; “side panel” powers the reader; “context menus” adds the right-click “Read with DyslexiHub” option.
Plain-language details
What users should know before using the app
What DyslexiHub stores
- Basic account details needed for sign-in and account access.
- Uploaded documents, classroom records, assignments, and saved reading progress.
- Where you left off in a document — the page you last read and when you last read it — so the app can reopen to the right spot.
- Practice streaks and Learning Center activity, recorded by day so the app can show your progress.
- AI usage counts such as summary activity and voice-credit usage.
When AI tools use your text
- OpenAI is used for text-based AI features such as summaries and other reading support actions.
- OpenAI or ElevenLabs may be used when you choose AI voice or text-to-speech features, depending on the voice setting you select.
- The related-images feature builds a short search query from your reading passage (using OpenAI) and sends that query to Wikipedia to find matching pictures.
- Text is sent only when a feature needs it to complete the request you started.
Current providers in the stack
- Clerk for authentication and sign-in.
- Supabase for application data such as classrooms, assignments, and documents.
- Stripe for paid subscriptions — if you upgrade, your email goes to Stripe to manage billing. Card numbers are handled by Stripe, never stored by DyslexiHub.
- OpenAI and ElevenLabs for the AI reading and voice features described above.
- Wikipedia (Wikimedia) for the related-images feature — it receives search queries, not your account details.
- Vercel for hosting and delivery of the web app.
