hello, Recently, Sparsh Product Dehradun has launched most awaited and highly useful app called ‘Accessible Reader’ providing the navigational support to read the files of various formats like txt, doc, docs, rtf etc.
I have used this app successfully on my mobile Moto X 2nd generation running the android version 6 marshmello. The best advantage of this app is that you need not to purchase the separate tts to make use of this software unlike Voice Dream Reader which require you to purchase the separate tts to read the files like doc docs etc. Also so far we do not have any app to read our files in Indian languages like Hindi, Marathi etc. This app is completely free of any adds even running in demo or full version. Once you open the app, you have the several options presented like open the file to browse the files located on your mobile using your integrated file manager, open the last file without repeating the browse file option as it remembers the file history you have worked earlier. Multiple Reading options for instance, read by word, sentence, paragraph, page and so on. You need to simply tap on your desired choice and your prefered tts reads to you. It does remember the last reading speed of your document, position where you closed the file so if you open the same file again, you are at the same position to continue further. If you are working on larger documents and tired of reading and if you would like to relax for sometime, it also gives you the option to toggle on play/pause. If you require to read the whole document continuously, you just have to tap on read all button and this app reads to you the entire document at one go! Another best option I really enjoyed is that in whichever navigation you are working with say for instance, word, paragraph etc and if you missed out to listen, you can tap on repeat button and this app can repeat that same occurance again. To start using with this app, initially you have to choose between the engine installed on your mobile. If you have to read the document in Hindi, you have to select Google TTS or Vocaliser Lekha if installed. Just make sure that the tts with which you intend to read the file is different from the default TTS of your phone as you can not use the default engine to read the files. So once you make the selection of your prefered engine, you have to choose the voices i.e. languages like Hindi, English etc depending on the file you want to read. You need not make this selection everytime when you open this app as these settings are saved permanently unless you require to change the same. Another advantage of this app is especially for beginners who are finding difficulties reading the documents faster. So you need not go to the tts settings all the way to make it slower. You can reduce the speed of your reading as per your convenience tapping on slower/faster on the app screen itself. While reading your document, if you wish to jump quickly on any desired page number at any time, you have to simply tap on go to page number button and your phone keyboard pops up at the bottom to enter the page number. This app also let you see the status of your file informing you the percentage of file you have red, current page number etc. Currently, this app does not supports pdf file so hoping to have this format added by them in the future. So if you are interested to try this app, you can use the following link to download it’s demo version. The app would work for two minutes after which it would close. Then you would have to open it again. The 2 minute restriction would be removed once the application is activated. This app is ideally suited for the students, working employees and each one of us who love to read the documents. I have liked it’s features very much and purchased the licence for myself. Currently this app has not been launched on playstore so you have to contact it’s developers Sparsh Products personally.
