- Settings include high-contrast color options, adjustable text size, voice selection, and TalkBack or VoiceOver guidance.
Field notes
The interface includes sentence navigation, repeat and speed controls, plus a hands-free setting described as advancing when the reader turns the page. Its settings also distinguish the app's reading voice from a device screen reader, with a note about avoiding duplicate announcements in TalkBack or VoiceOver. The About text says pages are processed on the phone and not uploaded; a link directs readers to Etsy for the ScanBoard stand.
