Yesterday, our ePublishing Learning Committee had a fantastic meeting where we shared our progress creating eBook as well as new software and mobile apps. We left the meeting exhilerated and relaxed. One of the apps discussed was Voice Dream Reader at https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/voice-dream-reader-text-to/id496177674?mt=8
It is compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation) and iPad. Requires iOS 5.0 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5. It is available in 20 different languages and 55 voices. The full version of the app costs $9.99 although there is a lite version that reads 300 characters at a time and has to be restarted.
This app would be fantastic for anyone who is visually impaired. It would also be great if you needed to read a document but couldn't because you were traveling or any other setting where reading is difficult. When LG was talking about the app, we all LOL because he said it "READS EVERYTHING" on the document including headers.
A YouTube video on the app is noted below.
