Everything You Need to Know About the Easy Reader

It’s official. Nearly everything these days is going digital, and with the number of devices out there that can hold up to a lifetimes’ worth of information, it’s only natural that books make the progression from the printed word to the digital word.

The EasyReader is an ingenious way of keeping track of dozens, even hundreds, of electronic books (ebooks) with you wherever you go. Convenient and easy to take along, this piece of software allows you to use portable reading devices to keep an entire library in your pocket.

Because of its ability to “read” text aloud, it is an ideal program for readers with blindness, low vision, dyslexia and other specific learning disabilities. EasyReader is also ideal for use in schools and libraries to empower readers to access a wider reading world. If you are a natural bookworm, you will love all the features that will make ebook reading a much better experience.

Installing EasyReader on your computer allows you read through ebooks, or use a preferred EasyReader voice to read highlighted text and speech via the ‘speak to me’ button and menu reader. If you find the font visually difficult or unappealing, the reader allows you to change the font face, size and contrasting foreground and background colors.

In addition, you never have to worry about losing a page again as you breeze seamlessly through ebooks. The EasyReader allows you to skip to any heading, page number of bookmark without having to flounder among pages and pages of text. If you’re looking for specific passages, you can also use the find function to help you look for key words and phrases.

It also offers excellent accessibility, as the EasyReader provides an easily navigable user interface that is friendly for both kids and adults. It offers a built-in zoom function that helps you read tiny text. Regarding compatibility, the EasyReader reads DAISY, NIMAS, HTML, TXT, and unprotected EPUB formats.

EasyReader is easily downloadable off the Web, though legitimate copies may cost you a set fee. It’s highly recommended that you get the legitimate version, as EasyReader may release useful updates in the future—something you definitely don’t want to miss out on. The software doesn’t require fancy equipment, and fits standard specifications of most personal computers. It works best installed on a Windows operating system, though, as support has not yet been released for Linux or Apple.
