Dolphin EasyReader is a software digital talking book player, allowing users to read and listen to content through a combination of text, speech and images. With EasyReader, readers can quickly navigate to any section of a book, change the reading voice, customise their preferred text, background and highlight colours, search for words and phrases, and place bookmarks in a book to highlight areas of interest. What's more, EasyReader is extremely easy-to-use, making reading an absolute pleasure.

Qty:
EasyReader can be used by absolutely anyone who enjoys reading through books with highlighted text and speech. EasyReader is particularly useful for anyone who is print impaired; whether this be due to a visual impairment, dyslexia or another specific learning disability. EasyReader is used by people, both young and old, to read through their favourite books; by students to access their course materials; and by employees to help make reading in the workplace a pleasure.

Making Reading a Pleasure
  • Enjoy Digital Talking Books on your PC, without the need for an expensive hardware DAISY player.
  • You can view the text highlighted as it reads aloud, an especially useful tool for those with learning difficulties, dyslexia, or low literacy levels.
  • You can alter the colours, fonts, text size and layout of the book to suit your preferences.
  • Don't like the voice on the book provided? You can override the recorded audio with your preferred synthesiser (only available for books with text). For high speed listening, you can define the playback speed at which EasyReader reads out your content.
  • EasyReader plays various talking books; including DAISY, NISO, NIMAS, eBooks and Bookshare books; see the full list of supported formats for more information.
  • EasyReader instantly turns a text file into an accessible, interactive DAISY talking book, so users can make their own talking book direct from plain text.
  • EasyReader creates its own audio for text only DAISY books using the human sounding Acapela synthesiser, or any other synthesisers available on your PC. This includes providing audio for DTBook DAISY XML books created by Microsoft's 'Save As DAISY XML' Word Plug-in.
Easy-to-use
  • EasyReader is extremely easy-to-use, requiring absolutely no training.
  • The EasyReader user interface is intuitively designed to be both visually engaging and fully accessible to screen reader users.
  • Reader's can organise their growing bookshelf of digital books straight from the EasyReader user interface, allowing you to quickly find the book you're looking for.
  • With EasyReader, you can use your mouse or use your keyboard with the option to announce button functions using Key Describer Mode.
  • As with all Dolphin software, EasyReader contains a useful Help Guide, launched in a cut down version of EasyReader. The EasyReader Help is written in a task-oriented manner to answer any immediate questions you may have straight from the user interface.
Navigate through books with ease
  • You can flick through your book by headings, chapters, page numbers or by your bookmarks, speeding up the time it takes you to find the spot you need.
  • You can add & save multiple bookmarks to highlight areas of interest, allowing you can return straight to the sections of your content that really matter.
  • You can add & save your own audio or text notes to referenced points in the book, just as your peers might scribble in right hand column.
  • Use EasyReader's search facility to find a phrase or word and then jump to that point in your book.
  • You can choose to play or skip content such as page numbers, notes and footers, giving you complete control over the amount of information your hear.
  • EasyReader saves your place in the book, containing options to intelligently start reading where you stopped last time.
