[nabs-l] problems with blio

[Jorge Paez]

Interesting.
I saw some books on the site version that do say they have "text-to-speech enabled" so it should've been there somewhere.
As far as why it would've been disabled,
I think its because that's a decision authors/publishers make, and I think, legally, the company, in this case KNFB can't force them to do that.

Yeserday, I bought a book from the Blio store and attempted to rea it only to find that the text-to-speech feature was not enabled. I doubt there is any way to manually enable this feature, but if there is, would you please let me know? What troubled me about this was that nowhere in the product details did it tell me whether text-to-speech was enabled or not. And just out of curiosity, why would text-to-speech not be enabled on a website specifically designed for blind users?
