GCSE revision resources for dyslexic student

DS is about to start year 10 and is dyslexic with a poor working memory. He is very much a visual learner. I have seen Katie's Classroom audio lessons and have heard of Oaka books. I am not sure how effective either of these would be and also how much actual GCSE level content they have. DS will avoid revision as much as possible and anything where he isn't having to actually read or write would work best for him. Are there any visual or audio revision resources that anyone can recommend that they have used?

You could look at Tassomai.

CGP’s resources are quite visual. Some of their resources have videos to go with them.

Have you looked at a computer reader or reading pen? And speech to text software?

I paid for the subscription to Katie's Classroom GCSE level content for 1 month as that seemed the best way to find out about it. I struggled to get my child to listen to it and it didn't necessarily cover what he needed to revise. I will probably look at it again as I think it could be good if your child will engage with it.
