I keep being surprised by these little details which make the $9.99 price tag completely worthwhile.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, DRM protected content, like Kindle or Nook books, cannot be read with Voice Dream.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"al2fb_like_button\"><div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n(function(d, s, id) {\n  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n  js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=149587675112835\";\n  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n}(document, \"script\", \"facebook-jssdk\"));\n<\/script>\n<fb:like href=\"http:\/\/www.equipmentlink.org\/blog\/?p=2012\" layout=\"standard\" show_faces=\"true\" share=\"false\" width=\"450\" action=\"like\" font=\"arial\" colorscheme=\"light\" ref=\"AL2FB\"><\/fb:like><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reading with Voice Dream Reader Contributed by Joel Zimba, Special Projects Coordinator\u00a0 The endless quest for accessible books continues with a new book reading app called Voice Dream Reader.\u00a0 So far, Voice Dream just seems to do everything better.\u00a0 It will read many popular file types including epub, doc and accessible PDF.\u00a0 Transferring files can [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_s2mail":"yes","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,18,14,5,31],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.equipmentlink.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2012"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.equipmentlink.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.equipmentlink.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.equipmentlink.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.equipmentlink.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2012"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.equipmentlink.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2012\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2013,"href":"http:\/\/www.equipmentlink.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2012\/revisions\/2013"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.equipmentlink.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.equipmentlink.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2012"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.equipmentlink.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
