I'm using the wheelocks latin 7th edition from the ibooks online book store and for the most part I am doing ok but it would be nice to have these annoying macron characters marked on my display in some usable manner. I wonder if there is a way of converting an ibooks formatted book to something else. I can read it using voiceover, but it would be easier to do it with the braille. At least I am able to use the voicenote apex to help with pronunciation.

I am also working with a Latin book on my iPHone, and I see dots 4-5-6 before the vowel with a macron. So an o with a macron shows dots 4-5-6 o. The files I'm using were originally PDF, which I converted to epub using Stanza and then read in iBooks. This is also how I see vowels with macrons if I create them on the iPhone keyboard. So maybe there would be a way to convert the text you are reading into a different form that would show the macrons. I hope so.
