I would check with Bookshare. They are getting more and more text books for elementary school through advanced degrees. You might even want to call them and ask about beginning Spanish text books. I know they have lots of books in Spanish. 650.352.0198 Hours: M-F 9-5. Richard

I want to see the written words which I thought Voice Dream might work for. I know there will be accent marks, but if a text is designed for both text alone or for text and audio both, this might work. The translater on my iphone is great, because it pronounces things properly plus allows you to look at the spelling, but it's not a course of study. I went to Apple books on my phone but most of the listings seemed to be audio. I hit on the sample button for several offerings, and nothing read. When I look at samples of other books, they read just fine, so I'm thinking these are audio books not texts. I tried to sample flash cards but they too would not read. I'm thinking there might be something very obvious I am overlooking, but it hasn't made itself apparent to me yet! I've got the Duo Lingo App downloaded which both pronounces things plus lets you spell them out so that is good, but sometimes it is very slow and requires some typing input that is more than my hands will allow. I also don't know how to move from lesson tolesson effortlessly and don't understand the symbols like Chest, Heart, Sword, etc. I'll be going along and doing a few lessons one after another then there is the rewards thing and I'm no longer able to continue where I've left off. It's not clear to me how to stay inside the lessons and continue to proceed without getting back to what seems like the opening page. I have a few books downloaded that I am listening to and that are good but I'd like to see words printed out so I can lodge them more permanently in my memory. I fear if I buy a bunch of lessons on-line that it will be hit or miss what works best with voice over. On the PC there are lots of courses offered for money, but I likewise fear it would be hit or miss to find what will work seamlessly with Jaws or System Access or any other screen reader. Does anyone have any suggestions of where to turn to to see lessons written out for learning Spanish? Deidre -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
