Hello Literature Network Forum,
I have spent most of this very cool, rainy Sunday trying to find ebooks with software that will read the text aloud. My daughter has a print disability and needs to follow the text while it's read out loud to her. The novel I am trying to find in Word or PDF format is "I Heard the Owl Call My Name" by Margaret Craven. We do have ClaroReads software that will read the the text in a PDF or Word format. The challenge is finding the combination the novel in Word or PDF. I thought if I could find an ebook version, copy and paste into Word then ClaroReads would read it out loud to her. Copywrite laws likely prevent me copying and pasting into Word.

If there is a group of users on this forum that are interested in the same challenges and have information to share I would really appreciate it.

Lee

jessecat,
There is an organization that supplies books and software in the format you need. It is inexpensive to join and includes software that will read the text out loud as well as highlight. You can even take notes as you read. http://www.bookshare.org/
