What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

This Typoscope is a black plastic reading guide, about 3-1/2 by 5 inches, that you lay over a page so only a thin strip of text shows through its 1/2-inch opening. It's meant for someone who loses their place on a crowded page or finds a full block of print hard to follow.

Getting it

What setup looks like

    1. Lay the guide flat on the page so the opening sits over the line you want to read.
    2. Slide it down the page as you read, keeping one strip of text in view at a time.
