"Free - Electronic Access-eBooks and non deliverables only"
Yes! For users with partial visual impairment, severe dyslexia, and a range of other constraints on reading, facilities exist in the Javelin3 PDF readers to provide text to speech. The recommended approach is to select a block of text in the document or a page and select the text-to-speech key sequence or pop-up option for that section of text or page to be read aloud. Selected text (where available) is best. Otherwise the facility will try and read the entire page or book from start to finish, and generally this does not work well with many PDFs because of their complex structure. All Javelin3 readers support this functionality (macOS, Windows, Android), although Javelin for iOS/iPadOS does not (at present).
On Windows computers this facility is provided in Javelin3 via a right-click operation and selection from the drop-down menu (read selected text or read page). On Mac computers the Javelin3 reader supports the Mac read-aloud facilities. On Android devices, touch the page to see the toolbar and choose the three dots icon to select the Read Current Page option from the pop-up menu.
Yes! There are many exciting features for highlighting, adding notes, marking pages, etc. to maximize the use of your eBooks.
