Abstract

Capti Narrator is a new cross-platform application for convenient, hands-free consumption of digital content, enabling users to listen to news, blogs, documents, unprotected e-books, and more while commuting, cooking, working out, anywhere, anytime. Capti will improve the productivity of students, busy professionals, language learners, people with print disabilities, and anyone else who wants to listen to content instead of reading it from the screen.
