[Electronics-Talk] The Best Reader for Bookshare.org Books

[Mike Freeman]

Yes; the apps are for your iPhone.

For those who want to read on their PCs, I'm not sure all are aware that
Bookshare has an experimental service that will render a book in Daisy
audio. It takes a few hours but you can then download the book and read it
on your NLS player etc.

If you have a New Generation Stream, you can download Bookshare books
directly and read them with whatever text-to-speech engine you have
installed.

That doesn't count the rest of us.  Pam.

Hi Peter and list,

I have found the Voice dream app is best when reading Bookshare books with 
voice. If using a braille display, I like Read To Go better.
