Dolphin EasyReader highlights

Dolphin EasyReader can be helpful for:

  • Reading the day's local or national newspapers.
  • Reading books from RNIB Reading Services or Calibre.
I’ve used the Dolphin EasyReader to download books using Talk Back on my Google phone and VoiceOver on my Apple phone. I’m a fan of this app as it allows me to access thousands of books. One thing to remember you do need to be a member of the libraries you want to use.
