What's New in ReadingBar 2?

New Reading Window for ReadingBar

• The reading window had been completely redone in ReadingBar in order to increase functionality. Full Sidebar controls allow for ease of use in playback.

ReadingBar is now fully multilingual in English, French, German and Spanish

• Every aspect of ReadingBar has now been updated to match the above languages. Install, all options, toolbars and help are fully translated. Additionally, there are now multiple voices in each language available for sale.

ReadingBar now supports a select number of VXML tags

• Voice Extensible Markup Language allows for websites to have a wide variety of customization including changing the reader, volume, and rate. A sample is up at www.readingbar.com/vxml but the possibilities are tremendous. A book site could easily be setup to read a play customizing the readers as it goes.

A new size of the Toolbar has been created called Huge.

• The Huge toolbar is ideal for the visually impaired. It is much larger and easier to see without requiring a special resolution adjustment.
