[Athen] Minimum feature set

[Gershman, Cindy]

Hi Ron,
A lot of students like the control of being able to have it read aloud by letter, word, sentence, etc. And the ability to change spacing between the words and/or between the sentences.

Regards,
CIndy Gershman

That would be good, more what I am looking for is accessibility to consum the content.  Such as background color change, text to speach capability and the like.   The content will not be usable with external AT in the early stages.
