Description

In this podcast, Thomas Domville introduces us to Bookshare Reader, a recently released app for iOS devices that allows users to access and read books from the Bookshare library. The app is designed for individuals with print disabilities, such as blindness or low vision, and provides features such as text-to-speech, adjustable font sizes, and the ability to customize the reading experience. Users can search for and download books, as well as create and manage their own library of titles. The app also allows users to share books with other Bookshare members.Key features:Listen to books in high quality audioAdjust reading speed, font size, and colorsFollow along with highlighted textNavigate by page and chapterStop reading and pick up from your last spotDownload books and read offlineTo use Bookshare Reader, you must have a Bookshare membership.
