ABSTRACT
Dyslexics face problems such as difficulty in reading, writing, listening, phonetic
decoding, time management, organizational ability and paying attention even though
they have similar intelligence levels as ordinary people. Extensive studies have been
conducted to prove that audio-visual learning aids can help dyslexic children to a
great extent. Audio and visuals help the children to create better connections in their
brain. This not only makes their learning an easier process but is also an engaging
and interactive way to introduce new concepts to the dyslexic children. The
indulgence of the current generation in ICT (Information and communications
technology) devices can be efficiently put to use to develop an exceptional assistive
tool. This paper discusses the various audiovisual learning aids proposed. In the end,
we have proposed a new learning aid that makes use of Generative Adversarial
Networks.

1. INTRODUCTION
In our current day education system, a vast majority of teaching is done through words. For
children with dyslexia, words are huge learning barriers. It should be taken into consideration
that the symptoms of dyslexia are not limited to literacy problems. They face a multitude of
problems ranging from insufficient phonological processing abilities to short-term memory. It
should be understood that dyslexia is not necessarily a disadvantage. Dyslexics have a very
