Retinal Media releases Read 2 Me 1.0 – Bring eBooks to Life for iPhone

May 20th, 2009

Los Angeles, CA/USA – “Read 2 Me”, from Retinal Media, is a successful deployment of Acapela-Group’s text-to-speech technology, and offers both productivity and accessibility features. Acapela’s natural voices give users a way to turn the smart iPhone into a friendly storyteller with the ease pressing a button.

“Read 2 Me” users can easily import .txt files from the Gutenberg website (which includes over 27,000 e-texts), or can create their own .txt files by converting word docs or PDFs. Read 2 Me’s FAQ page on the “Read 2 Me” website explains various methods of accomplishing conversion.

David Hoofnagle of Retinal Media states, “Our goal was to create a product that rivaled other text-to-speech synthesizers at a nominal cost, in order to give accessibility features to those who can benefit from this kind of technology in a mobile phone. Having a device that can ‘mimic’ human voices with such incredible realistic and natural tones is an exciting step in the merging of mobile media and entertainment technologies.”

* Optimization for Gutenberg.org plain-text ASCII files
* Optimization for ANY.txt file (UTF-8, Ascii encoding) at any web-based URL
