Voice Dream is the best iOS app for text to speech that I have ever seen. Not only is it simple to use w/ very familiar hand gestures (i.e. pinch, swipe, tap, etc), it allows users an abundance of options to interact w/ their text, such as: highlighting, definitions, adding words to a dictionary, bookmarking, and more. Also, there are over 36 VoiceOvers in all languages as well as listening to all kinds of documents (i.e. PDFs, Word, PPT, RTF, Pages, etc.). Some of my favorite features is the ability to listen to words while they are highlighted in sync, take notes in split screen mode, and multiple hand gestures. Also, Voice Dream is ideal for Special Ed or those w/ reading struggles as a user can use the Focused Reading Mode or adjust the font size to help facilitate learning and make reading easier. Best of all, is the ability to listen and read texts by the push of a button. It kind of reminds me of the way a person listens to a song or watches a movie w/ the ability to pause, rewind, etc. etc.
