Hi Bob, How would I search for this app in the Canadian app store. What would be the search term?

This version is available in the Canadian app store. However, Canada is not one of the countries you can select. Thanks.

Since they had subtitles in multiple languages and asked which country I was in, I'm sure it works in multiple countries. And since you watch the movies with Airplane Mode on, the app is listening to the soundtrack; there's no other input. So I don't see why it wouldn't work with home videos as well as in a theater. I sure hope this catches on! > > Best, > Anna > > > >> On Nov 19, 2013, at 8:49 PM, Jane <juanitatig...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Here's the link: >> >> https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/moviereading/id460349347?mt=8 >> >> You do the compatibility test first by creating an account in >> Moviereading or on the web site >> >> www.moviereading.com >> >> After you get to the www.moviereading.com web site, click on How it Works. >> >> Then, wait.

Then you can read the titles by scrolling with your fingers pretty quickly back and forth with speech or you can use a Braille display, You still have to do fancy fingerwork, but it's quieter with Braille. >> >> Jane >> >> >> >> >>> On Nov 19, 2013, at 9:46 PM, Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D. <kramlinger.ke...@mayo.edu> wrote: >>> >>> I did an AppStore search for one-string as follows: MovieReading and it popped right up for me. >>> >>> I can't find out on the website using my PC how to do the compatibility test.
