The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Augmented Reality-Based System for Real-Time Visual Substitution of Physical Text for Dyslexia Accessibility. The present invention discloses an augmented reality-based system configured for real-time visual substitution of physical text to improve reading accessibility for individuals with dyslexia. The system comprises a camera module for capturing image frames of a physical document and a processing module including an optical character recognition engine configured to detect textual content and determine spatial coordinates corresponding to detected words. A layout analysis mechanism preserves the structural arrangement of the text, while a cognitive formatting module applies dyslexia-friendly parameters including font selection, spacing adjustment, and background modification. A rendering module digitally masks original text regions and overlays substituted text aligned with the original layout to create a real-time augmented view. The system operates on a mobile device without reliance on external hardware or cloud processing, thereby enabling low-latency accessibility enhancement for physical documents."
