Shame Reader is an assistive reading app for printed text. If newspapers, magazines, books, or recipes are hard to see, photograph a page and listen in a clear, natural voice.
HOW IT WORKS
• Photograph a page with your camera, or import a photo from your library
• Text is recognized automatically—even in many foreign languages
• Choose Read as written to hear the page in its original language
• Choose Translate to English for foreign text read aloud in English
• Large buttons, high contrast, and simple controls for low vision
BUILT FOR REAL READING
• Column-aware layout for newspapers and magazines
• Skip headlines, subtitles, or dates if you only want the article
• Male and female voices, slower or faster playback
• Track reading sessions by book or magazine (ISBN barcode scan)
• Export audio (Pro) to listen later or share with family
WHO IT IS FOR
• People with low vision or difficulty reading small print
• Anyone who prefers listening to holding a page at arm’s length
• Readers of foreign-language newspapers, magazines, or books who want translation or native pronunciation
