Highlights of webReader

  • Fast forward through your streaming document with the Seek tool.
  • Adjust the volume and the settings to your preferences. This will need to be done on each device.
  • Download the audio for off line listening.
  • The Read on Hover tool allows you to move your cursor down the page highlighting paragraphs to be read.
  • The Enlarge Text tool shows the magnified text at the bottom of the page for those with lower vision or who are distracted readers.
  • For the distracted reader, the Simple View tool (removes decorative images), or the Page Mask tool will be good options.
