With iSinkwe, users are able to synchronise EPUB 3 publications with human-narrated or computer-generated speech, via an accessible web interface. Documents in other formats can also be converted to EPUB 3. Developed specifically to address reading barriers experienced by users with print disabilities such as dyslexia and visual impairment, iSinkwe is also of particular importance for regions with low literacy such as South Africa. This paper describes the motivation and context for its creation, the components that make up iSinkwe, a discussion on the relevance it has for the accessibility community, and how users can interact with the system. A usability study was performed on a previous iteration of iSinkwe, with mixed results. We report on the lessons we learned, and subsequent improvements to the system. Finally, we describe future work planned to extend its functionality.FulltextenAccessible booksLiteracySynchronised highlightingiSinkweConference Presentationn/a
