With my <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2013/08/inspiration-maps-for-ipad-mind-mapping.html">iPad</a> I can read and fill out a PDF using text-to-speech, read a book with <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/07/voice-dream-reader-app-for-ios.html">Voice Dream Reader</a>, or map out my ideas with <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2013/08/inspiration-maps-for-ipad-mind-mapping.html">Inspiration Maps</a>. The iPad mini is a perfect size for my needs allowing me to read sitting up, or reclining comfortably while listening to a book. Before I got the iPad I would either be tied to a computer to read using text-to-speech, or reading on the tiny screen of my <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2013/11/made-for-iphone-hearing-aids-to-be.html">iPhone</a>.

Quizlet also offers pre-made flashcard sets for popular vocabulary books, SAT vocabulary, and more. Flashcards can also include images to aid in studying. Once the study set is open you can view the terms in list mode or in flashcard mode. Quizlet includes text-to-speech allowing users to hear the content of their flashcards. The text-to-speech helps me learn my vocabulary words more quickly and also helps me pronounce the words correctly.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20.79px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20.79px;"><a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2013/03/quizlet-flashcard-app-create-share-and.html">Learn more about Quizlet by clicking here.</a></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wolframalpha/id334989259?mt=8">WolframAlpha - $2.99</a></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://a1.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Purple6/v4/ef/87/29/ef872962-4d71-57d0-d7a4-e78fe0ce496c/mzl.yeusqcwg.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://a1.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Purple6/v4/ef/87/29/ef872962-4d71-57d0-d7a4-e78fe0ce496c/mzl.yeusqcwg.png" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">WolframAlpha is a powerful reference services that can answer complex queries as well as provide useful graphs and visuals.
