Learning Ally Readhear By Gh For Mac 2017

Learning Ally ReadHear (gh PLAYER 2.exe). ReadHear™ PC—Reading With Ease A software reading system designed for reading NIMAS, DAISY Digital Talking Books, ePub/HTML, and plain text files (*.txt) while providing multiple sensory output. Whether you read with high contrast large text, recorded or synthesized speech.

In October, Learning Ally (formerly Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic) announced that it would increase the annual fee for its individual memberships, going from $99 to $119. However, the organization has partnered with ACB's leadership to offer a special reduced rate of $79 through March 31, 2013 for members of ACB as well as several other organizations. Learning Ally, a national non-profit since 1948, supports the educational and learning needs of the blind and visually impaired community.

It offers members unlimited access to the world's largest audio textbook library, with over 75,000 titles in all. Andrew Friedman, president and CEO of Learning Ally, said, 'While certain factors have obliged us to raise the fee for our general membership base, we recognize the financial impact that is felt by many in our community, particularly individuals who are blind and visually impaired.

'Raising the fee for individual memberships is not a decision we have made lightly. Although we recently experienced a major loss of federal funding, we renewed our commitment to making increased investments in progressive technology that will help our members enjoy more efficient access to their content on mainstream devices. 'Most ACB members are aware that we've introduced an extremely popular iOS app, Learning Ally Audio, making our audio textbooks accessible on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. On the near horizon, new major developments include an Android app (slated for release in late fall); text-based content that will support refreshable braille; and for members with learning disabilities, human speech synchronized-to-text (also coming this fall; we are on plan to produce over 2,000 books in that format this year). 'Additionally, even though the membership price is going up, fees have been eliminated for all of the software needed to play Learning Ally content. The Learning Ally Audio iOS app and our ReadHear software for Mac and PC are now provided free to members, to improve their user experience and make access to their materials easier.' Friedman affirmed that Learning Ally values its long-standing relationship with ACB and remains fully committed to supporting the blind and visually impaired community.

In addition to the discount being extended to ACB members, Learning Ally provides its services for free to all schools for the blind across the country, and will continue to extend hardship waivers to those who demonstrate that they can't afford membership fees at all. To learn more about Learning Ally, and to take advantage of our limited offer, call 1-800-635-1403 or sign up online at Use the promotional code ACBREG01 to receive $40 off Learning Ally's regular annual membership fee.

Offer expires on March 31, 2013.

It looks like we don't have any current Mac OS X Daisy player options that are accessible with VoiceOver. I would thus be willing to use an open-source DAISY player or even buy one at a reasonable price. You can work with Bookshare and Learning Ally to develop ways to play their books but, as of now, NLS is still only available on NLS digital players and some other portable devices. You can visit for information on their software development kit for downloading and using Bookshare files.

or to post comments Submitted by frank perry on 15 November, 2012. I just listened to the audio walkthrough about the Activities feature on the Mac done by David Woodbridge, and he mentioned Olearia so I did a search for it on here. Thus my reason for replying. I've never used that app but I am wondering if Capti Voice Narrator works for DAISY stuff? I've tried this app but am giving up on it because I can't figure out how exactly to use it.

But perhaps it will work better for the person who asked about DAISY texts. or to post comments Submitted by DudeLove721 on 29 September, 2018. I was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations for an all-in-one daisy player for the Mac like David was asking for in his original post. If not, what are some recommendations for the best Daisy player/players on the Mac? I'll be starting a training course with Daisy materials and I'd Ideally like the ability to open them on my Mac in addition to the iPhone.

It seems like there are plenty of options for iOS and not so many for the Mac. Any help would be greatly appreciated!.
