Scrambled text
This educational activity uses controlled orthographic noise to practise flexible word recognition and sustained reading attention. It is not a diagnostic test. Parameters adjust to the level and the task.
Example
A generated instance. Parameters such as difficulty, size, and symbol set are adjustable.
Task focus
Each task format is associated with these cognitive categories:
language functions
Comprehension and production of speech, vocabulary, grammar, semantics, phonological processing.
attention
Ability to focus on relevant information and filter out distracting stimuli. Includes sustained, selective, and switching attention.
processing speed
Pace of perceiving, analyzing, and responding to incoming information.
cognitive flexibility
Ability to switch between tasks, rules, and strategies depending on context.

How to use it
- 1Open the exercise and adjust the difficulty to the student's current level — usually it is better to start slightly easier than feels right.
- 2Read the rules. They are short, usually 10–20 seconds.
- 3Use the generated task as structured educational material, with accuracy and clarity prioritized over speed.
- 4Compare the answer with the reference and leave a human-written comment if the task is assigned through the student cabinet.
Who it's for
- •Educators and tutors — as material for lessons, review, and home practice.
- •Speech, special-education, and development specialists — for children and adults; parameters adjust to the student's level.
- •Parents — to receive clear assignments and leave comments about completion.
