Re: Reading ePub files on the mac

Your friend could try AniceSoft EPUB Converter.app that converts epub format to a number of other formats, one of them being rtf. The application, which I got in 2014, still works on the latest operating system. It's fairly accessible apart from the radio buttons which correspond to the

Re: Reading ePub files on the mac

Thanks! Downloaded it. It worked on the ePub book I have, so I’ll see if my friend can open his textbook in it if there’s no file protection issues. > On Aug 6, 2017, at 12:18 PM, John Panarese wrote: > > You’ll need to use the VoiceOver navigation commands to

Re: Reading ePub files on the mac

Hi, Granted I cannot be certain this will work because of copyright. Still, robobraille, www.robobraille.org will convert epub books into things like rtf which might? be accessed from another program. Because the conversion is supported by educational institutions, his school might assist

You’ll need to use the VoiceOver navigation commands to successfully navigate books in iBooks. The regular arrows don’t work effectively. The application, iText Express will read EPUB books as well., > On Aug 6, 2017, at 3:15 PM, Kat DeNicola wrote: > > I have a

Reading ePub files on the mac

I have a friend who needs to read his ePub textbooks on the mac. Two Questions about this: 1. I know ePub books read in iBooks, but I’m finding navigating the text clunky. The up and down arrows go from page to page, it seems, and not line by line, so I’m having to use the trackpad rotor

Re: Reading epub files on the Mac

Hi Anne. As I'm a fairly new Mac user, and do most of my reading through iBooks, I have very limited experience with iText Express using braille. However, from the few files I used it with, it seemed to respond fine to my Braille Edge 40. HTH, Scott On 1/2/13, Rahul Bajaj

Re: Reading epub files on the Mac

Hello Brianna, Does iText Express allow you to navigate within the page using VO and a Braille display? If so, it's an improvement on Adobe Digital Editions which is the one I use. Cheers, Anne -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries

Re: Reading epub files on the Mac

Hi, If you mean can I read it with the arrow keys, then yes, I can. I think the braille display works in it, as well. It's free if you want to try looking it up in the Mac app store. I remember that the inability to move around in the document with VoiceOver is what stopped me from getting
