We explore three auxiliary techniques for automatic text adaptation (ATA)—epithets for nouns, explanations for keywords, and syllabification—to aid reading for individuals with reading difficulties. In an initial evaluation, we conducted a study with individuals possessing average reading skills. Results indicate that while all three techniques demonstrate high accuracy, their usefulness varies. Epithets were found to be less beneficial, possibly due to the introduction of excessive information, although they may assist certain populations, such as individuals with intellectual disabilities. Keyword explanations were generally helpful and accurate, though occasional inaccuracies arose with rare or domain-specific terms. The effectiveness of syllabification was found to be contingent on the specific words being processed. These findings suggest that while ATA techniques can improve reading accessibility, their varying impacts highlight the need for tailored approaches based on the reader's needs.
