Reading on the goYour mobile device is much more than just a phone — it is the perfect tool for reading electronic books.

What do we mean by “electronic books”?

Electronic books are the digital versions of traditional printed books, and may contain text, audio or both.

Apart from being more accessible for those with visual disabilities, electronic books (or “e-books”) also allow for enhanced features such as bookmarking, easy navigation, and variable playback speed.

Code Factory’s award-winning screen reader.

Software application to be installed on a mobile phone.

Allows people who are blind or have low vision to use the phone even if they cannot read the screen.

Information displayed on the screen is rendered in synthesized speech output generated using text-to-speech technology.
