We are pleased to announce the release of Kurzweil 1000 Version 13. Kurzweil 1000 reads text aloud delivering natural-sounding voices and quick, easy access to virtually any content for people who are blind or visually impaired.
New features in Kurzweil 1000 Version 13 include:

• ePub support that allows reading of ePub documents and the ability to write ePub documents that can be read on portable devices, such as an iPhone.
