Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
TAB2Read Mobile is a DAISY Audiobook Player Project
TAB2Read is a digital accessible library for blind, low-vision and print-disabled readers.
It plays DAISY audiobooks, renders braille and text books, and connects
directly to the Thai library of the blind. Every screen is built for
VoiceOver — design accessibility for visually impaired.
Created by the Thailand Association of the Blind with the "1414 Plus" project,
supported by the Thai Blind People's Foundation.
Reads every format that matters:
