The eBook Viewer
Many publishers have their curriculum content available in PDF
format, in part due to its exact replication of the printed page.
Texthelp works with Publishers to turn these PDF files into talking
eBooks. Lexiflow's conversion of the PDF file produces a broadly
deployable solution which can be viewed on any PC or Mac with Flash
installed.
The Lexiflow eBook Viewer provides accessible
talking eBooks and assessments for students to readily access
reading support tools. In addition to text-to-speech with choice of
reading voice, the eBook also includes support tools such as a
Dictionary, Translator, Sticky Notes, and Highlighters. The eBook
is ideal for distributing to students who have no accessibility
software available.
Interactive Table of Contents
A multi-level TOC is interactive with direct links to the pages
and sections by eBook Chapter.
Search
The Search feature allows the student to search for words or
phrases in the eBook text.

Preferences
