I have not used calibre with a screen reader so on that pint I would be unable to comment, i instead rely on screen magnification. where possible i convert to pdf since i can then magnify any text to the required font size or, if i feel inclined to use adobe reder I use the read aloud feature on that.

Hi Shaun,

If I may ask, have you used Calibre’s reading functions with a screen reader? If so, which one and what can be done accessibly? Is the whole interface usable with any particular screen reader? I would be overjoyed to be able to use Calibre’s GUI, the command line is fine for conversion but you can do a good deal more, including reading, with the GUI.

Thanks,

Aman

yup calibre can definitely be used as a reader as well.

    I have never read Epub with Calibre, I have converted, but didn’t

    I would try QRead.

    All the best

    a good all rounder is calibre, it reads and converts several
    common document formats. and it is a free download as well.
