Hello,

It seems the most preferred solution on the Apple platforms is a third party IOS app called "Voice Dream".

I have heard complaints on the MacVisionaries list about Books on the Macintosh platform. Apparently the read all does not consistently read through all material.

We want to do some QA for EPUBs and could use some direction on what combinations to look at (e.g. Voice Over/iBooks, Readium/NVDA, ???). Is there a preference among users of AT that we want to be sure and check? I am thinking primarily about desktop EPUB reading applications but if that is a poor assumption what are the alternative platforms/devices?
