[Athen] TTS Apps that high lites while reading

[Shelley Haven]

Read2Go, from Benetech (Bookshare), has dual highlighting (i.e., word being spoken is one color, sentence it's in is another color).  You can also adjust text size (12-70 point), text and background colors, and dual highlighting colors.  The included voices -- Heather and Ryan -- sound wonderful compared to the iPad's VoiceOver.  Reading speed adjusts from 60% of normal to 260%. One can navigate by heading, page #, and bookmark, plus search for text.
