Cindy L R:

If the dyslexia is severe enough to make reading difficult, then your
friend is eligible for bookshare & the criteria is pretty much the
same as for a blind person, e.g., if their doctor or psychologist or
whatever states they are severely dyslexic or if they're a member of
nls (which I rather doubt).  I don't think RFB&D qualifies but am not
certain.

Generally speaking, apple computers come w/speech built into the OS,
called voice-over.  See if your friend might have it on her machine.
