TPB Reader is a Daisy 2.0 and Daisy 2.02 compliant software player designed to be easy to learn even by those with little or no computer experience. Even though it is easy-to-use, the software is powerful enough to satisfy more "advanced" users.
Feature highlights include:
- Auto-detection of available books. TPB Reader automatically scans the system and presents available DTBs to the user in a bookshelf;
- Ncc-only and Full Text view modes;
- Time Scale Modification - ability to speed up or slow down the narration without affecting the pitch (upcoming);
- Fully selfvoicing - external speech synthesizer is not necessary;
- Stylesheets - the user may apply his/her own or predefined Cascading Stylesheets (CSS) to control the visual display of the text;
- IPP Support - TPB Reader can play protected DAISY DTBs; and
- National Language Customization - The user interface (auditory and textual prompts) of TPB Reader can be translated into any language.
TPB Reader is made available at no cost worldwide. However, TPB (The Swedish Library of Talking Books and Braille) does not offer end-user support outside Sweden.
TPB Reader works on Windows® operating systems.
