Case Study: TorTalk achieves 75% Swedish university adoption and fast, accurate OCR for dyslexic readers with Tungsten Automation

TorTalk eases reading challenges for dyslexics with Kofax OmniPage SDK

TorTalk is a Swedish company (founded 2013) that builds speech-synthesis tools for people with dyslexia, ADHD and second-language learners. Founder Tor Ghai, who has dyslexia, found that most text‑to‑speech products couldn’t read images, PDFs or other non‑editable text, and manual screenshot/OCR workflows were too slow and error‑prone for long documents.

TorTalk solved this by integrating Kofax OmniPage SDK for fast, accurate real‑time OCR with Nuance Vocalizer for high‑quality speech, enabling one‑to‑two‑second processing and smooth read‑along for fixed and editable text. The result: reliable, cross‑platform functionality, strong Kofax developer support, and adoption by about 75% of Swedish universities (including Göteborgs and Uppsala), improving students’ reading speed, comprehension and confidence.
