vBookz For Mac

Audiobooks enthusiasts enjoy listening to books while performing other tasks. Since not all books have an unabridged audio version, the vBookz PDF reader is designed to be an alternative solution.

vBookz comes with a modern controller window that offers you the possibility to command the reading process and a magnifying glass to help you follow the text. The application uses one of the built-in system voices and you must decide which one via an integrated drop down menu (you do not have to modify the selection in the System Preferences).

Moreover, you can adjust the audio volume or the reading speed, and you can use the controllers to easily navigate the document. vBookz records how many words have been read so far, how much time has elapsed and how much time is left.

The upside is that vBookz can work with any PDF documents but take into account that, like with any other application that uses the Mac OS X voices, the overall effect might lack the natural reading effect conveyed by traditional audiobooks.

To conclude, vBookz is a great tool if you want to listed to PDF documents read aloud, as long as you are satisfied by the accuracy of the Mac OS X default voices.
