EasyReader is a software digital talking book player, allowing the user to read and listen to content through a combination of text, audio and images. One of the main advantages of using EasyReader is that the content becomes easy to navigate through, where a reader can skip through sections of their content and place bookmarks to highlight areas of interest. EasyReader is extremely easy to use, making reading an absolute pleasure.

Key Benefits to EasyReader:

EasyReader for Reading

• Enjoy Digital Talking Books on your PC, without the need for an expensive hardware DAISY player
• EasyReader creates its own audio for text only DAISY books using the supplied human sounding Acapela synthesiser or other synthesizers available on your PC
• EasyReader creates its own audio for DTBook DAISY XML books created by Microsoft's 'Save As DAISY XML' Word Plug-in
• Instantly turns a text file into an accessible, interactive DAISY talking book, so users can make their own talking book direct from plain text
• You can view the text highlighted as it reads aloud, an especially useful tool for those with learning difficulties, dyslexia, or low literacy levels
• You can alter the colors, fonts, text size and layout of the book to suit your preferences
• EasyReader plays various talking books; including DAISY, NISO, NIMAS, eBooks and Bookshare books; see our list of EasyReader features for more information
• Don't like the voice on the book provided? You can override the recorded audio with your preferred synthesiser (only available for books with text). For high speed listening, you can define the playback speed at which EasyReader reads out your content
• EasyReader is available in a number of different languages; please visit the available languages page to find out more

EasyReader is Easy to Use

• EasyReader is extremely easy-to-use, requiring absolutely no training
• EasyReader contains an attractive user interface which can be minimised into a compact tool bar so you can make the interface more discrete
• You can organise your growing library of digital books straight from the EasyReader user interface, allowing you to quickly find the book you're looking for
• With EasyReader, you can use your mouse or use your keyboard with the option to announce button functions
• As with all Dolphin software, EasyReader contains a useful Help menu to answer any immediate questions you may have straight from the user interface. This can be accessed by simply pressing F1

EasyReader is Easily Navigable

• When you open EasyReader, your book will intelligently start reading where you stopped last time
• You can flick through your book by headings, chapters, page numbers or by your bookmarks, speeding up the time it takes you to find the spot you need
• You can add & save multiple bookmarks to highlight areas of interest, allowing you can return straight to the sections of your content that really matter
• You can add & save your own audio or text notes to referenced points in the book, just as your peers might scribble in right-hand column
• Use EasyReader's search facility to find a phrase or word and then jump to that point in your book
• You can choose to play or skip content such as page numbers, notes and footers, giving you complete control over the amount of information your hear

DAISY benefits

• Research from John Hopkins University suggested that students can increase their test scores by up to 38 percent when they access information via combined audio and text
• Research from the British Dyslexia Association (external link) suggests that people remember:
• 10 percent of what they read
• 20 percent of what they hear
• 30 percent of what they see
• 50 percent of what they hear and see
• As such, since DAISY books are multi sensory, they provide an ideal learning media for print-impaired and visually-impaired students to whom text-only materials are inaccessible
• The navigability of the DAISY format makes it ideal for visually- and print-impaired people, who would otherwise find it extremely difficult to skip through content to find the bits that really matter
• Text-only DAISY books and DTBook DAISY books (created by the free Microsoft Word Plug-in) are read or announced aloud in sync with the highlighted text using the bundled Acapela synthesiser
