Hi group,
I am a Dyslexic with poor eye sight and poor reading abilities. I would like to find an audio reader with a support display screen that runs on Linux. Let me explain exactly what I want.
Download a book on tape file.
Open the audio file.
The program will then open a display window that follows and highlights the text, word by word, being read.
Hot keys to do pause, start, backup, forward, etc.
The idea is to hear the file and reenforce the visual input. This will help with learning how to read.
I currently use Mplayer to read audio files. The browser has helped me with my writing with the spell check.
I can't speak to the specific characteristics you listed, but I can suggest that you might want to take a look at Sonar Linux. It is an excellent project designed with a plethora of assistive technologies.
