Install a Planar Mirror Flip Reading Card on a Computer (for Dyslexics)

Strephosymbolia is the oldest known form of dyslexia. The addition of a mirror reading capacity to your computer can help people who are gifted with it (doing this provides a simple solution for reading backwards). This article explains how to upgrade your computer system to support a mirror image view of your systems desktop screen.

Steps

 * 1) Ensure that your computer has the appropriate support capacity to accept the card: PCI Slot Addaptable.
 * 2) *It must have both VGA and DVI-D or HDMI output on the back of the system, along with a view screen that supports the same inputs.
 * 3) *The primary graphics card must support the clone feature (duel screen mode on).
 * 4) *The system must have an empty card slot to support a mirror flip card. (See next.)
 * 5) Obtain a planar mirror-flip card. This can be purchased online if you do not already have one(Part#944-0679-02 ). When the card arrives:
 * 6) *Install it in the empty slot (no software is needed).
 * 7) *After closing the back of your system, make use of a six inch DVI-D addapter cable or HDMI (whichever your system supports) via the output DVI-D of the primary card to the input of the planar, then from the output of the planar flip card to the input of the DVI-D / HDMI of your monitor.
 * 8) Check if it works. If done correctly, you will have a perfect mirror view on your monitor that only you as the user will have no more reading problems if you read from right to left.

Tips

 * If you are unable to configure the card, you should get a tech to do it for you: both the system and the duel view monitor must be made available to the tech with the remote that comes with the monitor that supports switching between VGA standard view & DVI-D mirrored view. Installation troubleshooting can be found online.

Warnings

 * If your children are not dyslexic or are still learning to read, do not let them view the screen in the mirror mode, as they may get the idea that text is suppose to be done in backwards format. This solution is meant only for those who are truly mirror sighted.
