<html><head><base href="x-msg://24/"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">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.<div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/read2go/id425585903?mt=8">http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/read2go/id425585903?mt=8</a></div><div><br></div><div>- Shelley</div><div><br><div>
