I read to my friend all the time between lunch and tea time. And then, after tea, I read some more.
The novel was interesting although the author has to polish some sentences. But the plot is good, up to what I read.
After that, we talked about her problems, health and money as they are both mixed.
She brought me 2 novels and I´ll read them, make a resume and criticize them. It will be a help for her. She cannot read unless the font is very big.
I wonder, if she scans the novels (which are in paper) can she then change the font and place the scanned pages in Word?

She had a degenerative problem in her eyes. She will end up bling, maybe. And she works with her eyes

@Tina30219 Unfortunately, she either has no more friends, or she doesn´t dare ask for help.

Maybe she can search the audio file of this novel from the Internet.

She can´t. They are novels from young unpublished writers and she is part of the jurors for a price that includes publishing the best novel

Once pages are scanned and place in Word they can be enlarged. That is the print can be made larger.

Her daughter downloaded a program that reads aloud if the books are sent online. But these novels were not sent that way..

@marguicha My brother's scanned the pages then read them. I think that is how it worked. Our Association for the Blind was very helpful with information. Perhaps there is a similar organisation there.

They do make large print books which I have seen at the library.

I can help her some, but I cannot really help her with her ailment.
