Reading with Voice Dream Reader

Contributed by Joel Zimba, Special Projects Coordinator 

The endless quest for accessible books continues with a new book reading app called Voice Dream Reader.  So far, Voice Dream just seems to do everything better.  It will read many popular file types including epub, doc and accessible PDF.  Transferring files can be done via iTunes, DropBox or directly from BookShare and others.  Throw in a couple of dozen text-to-speech options and you have the most powerful reading app I’ve seen.

Books can also be organized into folders.  This might seem like an obvious feature, but no other reading app seems to offer it. I keep being surprised by these little details which make the $9.99 price tag completely worthwhile.

The free version of Voice Dream will read 300 words at a time. This is a great way to explore its many features while deciding if it will work for you.

Unfortunately, DRM protected content, like Kindle or Nook books, cannot be read with Voice Dream.
