MyDSReader is an homebrew for the Nintendo DS that helps visually impaired users:

  • Read documents in digital format (text, word, pdf, DAISY).
  • Take voice annotations.
  • Read e-mails and reply/write using recorded voice clips.

The program utilizes FLite v1.3 to synthesize a selected text file from a memory card on the DS.

Features

  • Uses a TTS engine to read ASCII text files.

Installation

The binary must be first patched with DLDI to run on your homebrew hardware.

For ds_reader.nds (unpatched ver.) / ds_reader.sc.nds (SuperCard ver.), copy the patched binary and the folder "books" to the root of your SD card.

For keyboardspeech.nds (with input keyboard, does not read from files), simply copy the binary to your SD card.

User guide

This program reads the text a line at a time. Because of this, there is a noticable pause at the end of each line in the generated speech while the next set of audio is readied.
