Description
Please note: EasyReader App for Mac is only available to:
- Members of MTM library in Sweden
- EasyReader Premium subscribers
EasyReader offers convenient access to your favourite accessible book libraries and talking newspaper stands, in one place.
Neurodivergent readers – especially readers who have dyslexia – can customise their reading experience with dyslexia-friendly fonts, adjustable colour schemes and word highlights that synchronise with audio.
Designed for accessibility, EasyReader enables blind and partially sighted readers to read with magnified text, audio, or a combination of both - where each word is highlighted on screen as it’s read aloud. It also links to braille displays for braille readers.
EasyReader is compatible with VoiceOver and supported braille displays.
EasyReader App Features
Open a World of Accessible Books
EasyReader provides global access to millions of books from accessible book libraries around the world. Log in to your favourite library to read accessible versions of classic books, the latest bestsellers, non-fiction, school textbooks and children’s storybooks.
Customise to Read Your Way
Text magnification in EasyReader is easy to adjust. Simply pinch in and out on the screen to find the text size that’s best for you. With EasyReader the text is always sharp and visible on screen. It’s an exceptional experience for readers with visual impairments.

Audio Books & Text-to-Audio
Listen to narrated audiobooks or listen to text-only books and newspapers, which EasyReader converts to human-sounding synthesised speech. Audio perfectly synchronises with on-screen text highlights, so you can read along as you listen.

Ratings and Reviews
It doesn’t support Czech language
Application supports Czech library for visually impaired people KDD, but it doesn’t support Czech characters. At least Czech voice reads text only without Special Czech Charakters for example like á or ř etc. It doesn’t view text. You can see only white background. I tried it with book Výplata from Dick Philip Kindred. User interface is probably prepared only for blinds, but not for people with low vision - user interface has to small letters compare to for example Voice Dream Reader. Actually I found another big bug with library KDD. After I downloaded another book, I found out, that it is only a attached file with information about the file but not the book! I’m using iPad Pro 10.5. I already have written answer to email address you have sent, but I didn’t get any reply.
Developer Response ,
Hi Tomahawawk, We made a fix for a blank (or white) screen with some of the KDD books in October 2017. Just trying to work out if this is a related issue - could you let us know which book it happened with and we'll investigate further? ** Thanks for the extra information. Could you let us know what device you're using? We have more detailed questions to help us identify the problems - are you able to email us so we can get more information from you? marketing@yourdolphin.com
