Hi Bufo!
Any news on the iPad’s TTS ability? I remember when it came out you blogged about its touted ability to read out loud, but ti wasn’t clear whether it would be limited or disabled in some way. Do you know?

Thanks for writing, Andrew!
I haven’t been able to test it myself, but I have heard that it will read continuously through a book like the Kindle does (not having to swipe each page). The user’s guide says it isn’t compatible with all books, but again, I don’t have the details yet. This is a limited review of the feature: https://www.lioncourt.com/reviews/a-first-look-at-the-ipad/ .
I’d love to really be able to run it through its paces, but haven’t had the opportunity yet.
