Get your Macintosh involved with reading at home or school! Take advantage of the many e-texts, articles, and presentations on the internet to enrich reading experiences.
The Reading Machine displays text files at a steady pace in any of three reading environments. Students can easily customize the reading experience with resizable viewing areas and a style shortcut palette for quickly changing colors and fonts.
Afterwards, readers can test themselves on the material they've just seen. These tests are created on-the-fly by the computer; no need for humans to type in questions!
The Reading Machine can read aloud using the Book reading method.
The reader can choose any font, size, text style, and color for the text and set a color pattern for the page background using menus and color pop-ups.
All of the reading environments can be resized with the mouse to customize the area of the screen where reading takes place.
Limitations:
Demo version limits reading variety to three demonstration texts.
What's New:
Corrects a pronunciation problem and allows the user to skip through the opening screens by holding down the mouse button.
