The rules you add apply every time. BUILT FOR ACCESSIBILITY The interface is fully VoiceOver compatible, with high contrast and large, easy-to-reach controls. The app was designed first and foremost for blind and low-vision users. ABOUT THE PAUL VOICE Paul is a male Romanian voice with natural, clear pronunciation, well suited to reading long texts.
