Because the Word you’re hiding in your heart deserves software that respects how you learn.
OpenDyslexic font
A typeface designed for readers with dyslexia. Letters have weighted bottoms to prevent rotation, unique shapes to reduce letter confusion, and increased spacing for easier tracking. It is available for scripture throughout the app.
Where to choose it: in Hide the Word, Settings, then Reading, then Scripture font
Color-blind highlights
Three highlight colors: Standard, Green-blind friendly and Red-blind friendly. Color is never the only cue: a highlighted word also carries a small number, and answers are marked with a check or a cross.
Where to choose them: in Hide the Word, Settings, then Reading, then Highlight colors
Increase Contrast
With Increase Contrast on, Hide the Word strengthens its text and borders in light and dark appearance. Secondary and game text reach a 7:1 contrast ratio, and borders 3:1.
Where to enable: in the Settings app, Accessibility, then Display & Text Size, then Increase Contrast
Dynamic Type
Every piece of text in Hide the Word scales with your system text size, from labels to verse text to buttons. You set your preferred size once, and Hide the Word respects it everywhere.
Where to adjust: in the Settings app, Accessibility, then Display & Text Size, then Larger Text
VoiceOver
Every screen works with Apple’s VoiceOver screen reader, and flashcards have their own VoiceOver actions.
Where to enable: in the Settings app, Accessibility, then VoiceOver
Reduce Motion
If Reduce Motion is on, Hide the Word respects it throughout the app.
Where to enable: in the Settings app, Accessibility, then Motion, then Reduce Motion
Keyboard
On iPad with a keyboard, keycaps appear on answers and on the buttons at the end of a round, and Type It adds Type It Tutor, where you copy the verse out whole.
First run
When you first open Hide the Word, onboarding asks how you like to read: choose your scripture font and highlight colors, with a live preview, before you ever start a set. You can change them any time.
