Context
Dyscovery is a reading-support platform for children with dyslexia, built by a student team incubated at JUNITEC, the Junior Enterprise of Instituto Superior Tecnico (Universidade de Lisboa).
Activities
The platform combines assisted text-to-speech reading with AI-driven analysis of a child's reading/writing to identify recurring error patterns, generating adaptive practice exercises with feedback produced in under a minute; a second pilot phase in May-June 2026 ran across five schools in Lisbon, Coimbra and Leiria.
Conclusions
Evidence so far consists of an active, university-affiliated pilot with real school deployment and independent press/competition recognition, but no published learning-outcome study, accuracy metric or independent evaluation exists yet.
