Mind maps for dyslexic students, made from your own notes
Upload a PDF, DOCX, or photo of your notes and get an editable mind map you can explore branch by branch.
Why visual layouts can help with dyslexia
Dense blocks of text can hide how ideas connect, and that is harder to sort out when reading is already slow. Using mind maps for dyslexic students lets you see the topic first, then move into the details in an order that makes sense to you.
- Start with the central topic written as a short phrase.
- Keep each branch to one idea with a few words of support.
- Expand branches one at a time instead of reading the whole map at once.
- Compare your edited map with the source to confirm nothing was missed.
Explorable branches
Expand one branch at a time so you see only the idea you are working on.
Editable layout
Rename, rearrange, or add nodes to match how your teacher or textbook organizes the topic.
Works from your files
Start from PDFs, Word documents, slides, or photos of pages read with text recognition.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, plain text notes, or a photo of a page.
Generate the map
DeckOwl reads the text and arranges the main ideas into branches.
Explore and edit
Open branches one at a time, rename or move nodes, and add your own notes.
Visual layouts give the eye clear landmarks: one central topic, a handful of main branches, and short labels. Because you can expand only the branch you are working on, the page stays calm and focused rather than crowded.
A map is a study aid, not a replacement for the original text. Use it to see the structure first, then check the details against your notes or textbook.

Frequently asked questions
How can a mind map help a dyslexic student study?
Mind maps put the main topic in the center with short branches around it, so less text has to be read at once. Many students find the spatial layout easier to follow than dense paragraphs.
How should I structure a mind map for studying?
Start with one central topic, then add a few main branches for the key ideas. Keep each branch to a few words so you can recall it without rereading the source.
Can I edit the mind map after it is generated?
Yes, the map is editable, so you can rename branches, move ideas, and add your own notes. Exports such as PDF and DOCX are included in the paid Plus plan.
Is there a free plan?
Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exports are part of the Plus plan, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month.
