MynaBooks

MynaBooks is an audiobook player built for someone who has lost their eyesight — not adapted for them.

Most audiobook apps are built for people who can see — screens full of menus and buttons to find. Someone who has lost their eyesight is expected to learn VoiceOver just to use one. MynaBooks doesn't need that. Press and Hold a finger anywhere on the screen, name a book or say a command like "next chapter," and let go. Nothing has to be aimed at, tapped precisely, or seen.

WHAT YOU CAN SAY "Play Aesop's Fables" · "Next chapter" · "Go back" · "Change shelf to Literature" · "Faster" · "Slower" · "What's playing?" — MynaBooks answers by speaking back, not by putting more on a screen no one is looking at.

BUILT FOR A CAREGIVER TO SET UP — AND ADD TO OVER TIME A family member sets up the listener's books once — using the iPhone's own Files app for their own recordings and cloud files, or choosing straight from the free libraries built into MynaBooks — and can keep adding new ones anytime the listener wants something new.

WHERE THE BOOKS COME FROM - Recordings a family member made, or files copied in from Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or anywhere else — copied onto the phone once, not kept in sync - A shared iCloud folder, instead, that does stay in sync — new recordings show up on their own - LibriVox — over 20,000 free, public-domain audiobooks read by volunteers - Project Gutenberg — over 75,000 free ebooks MynaBooks reads aloud itself - Any PDF, read aloud on the spot

EVERYTHING IS VISIBLE TO A CAREGIVER Every command and every reply is kept in plain language — what was said, what MynaBooks heard, what it played — so a caregiver can see exactly what happened. Settings can be locked behind a passcode so the listener's shelves stay put. The listener cannot accidentally change them.

ACCESSIBILITY MynaBooks supports Larger Text and Dark Interface. It does not require VoiceOver — that is the whole point. It is a different kind of accessible: built to work by ear from the very first launch, with nothing to learn first.

Free to set up. Your books, read the way you already talk.
