Blio


Blio is a free-to-download e-reader software application created by Ray Kurzweil. It was unveiled at the Consumer [Electronics Show] in Las Vegas in early January 2010. The Blio e-reader preserves typography, supports color illustrations and includes features that make it effective for certain categories of books not well supported by E Ink, such as children's books. Blio also comes with text-to-speech integration, offering both a computerized voice and the synchronization of professionally recorded audiobooks.
Blio iPhone app supports Rapid [Serial Visual Presentation] mode. RSVP lets the reader process up to 1,000 words per minute by presenting each word individually. The reader controls the rate of presentation with a screen thumb dial.
