[nabs-l] problems with blio

[Chris Nusbaum]

Exactly right! It's all about the constituent pressure! But isn't that
regulation (the regulation which says that Braille is the primary medium for
reading and writing instruction for blind students) already on the books?

Well... yeah, but that's a huge pain in the butt and I don't recommend it.
You have to select each individual page and read it. For a one or two page
document, that's not bad, but for a 400-page book it would be kinda hard.

Hi Sophie,

Hmm... I'm not sure. Would you be able to just use VoiceOver to read it?

Hi y'all,

Recently, I got the Blio app, which is an acessible Ebook reader for the
iPhone. 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?
Yours,
Sophie Trist
