Abstract |
| Voice Dream Reader is an app that gives students access to text conversion accommodations, across a wide spectrum of disabilities. It allows students to use their mobile devices to listen to their books and class materials “on the go”.
This presentation will demonstrate Voice Dream Reader and its many features, explain the pros and cons of using this screenreader on a mobile device and show attendees how it can be incorporated into your campus immediately, not only as a screenreader but also as a delivery tool for files to students. |
