While there are lots of ePub (electronic publication) and other digital book sharing apps out there already, sometimes you or your student might want to create your own digital book. Or perhaps your favorite book isn’t available in a digital or accessible format.
Book creator is an ePub creator app that allows you to create and publish your own accessible content with ease!
Creators can choose from a variety of fonts including open dyslexic. You can add images from the web or take your own photos. Videos and music can also be added, plus you can record your own voices. There’s a variety of shapes, icons and emojis available, and you can use the built-in pen tool to draw images, write freehand text or even annotate text.
Choose from over 800-page templates that are designed specifically for engaging learners or start from your own blank page.
There is also an AutoDraw feature that uses AI technology to help beginning artists. With this feature, as you start drawing, the AI will analyze your image and suggest illustrations for you from their built-in library.
And because this app was designed with universal design in mind, you can integrate other apps into the books you create with Book Creator. You can embed PDFs, Google Workspace apps, PowerPoint presentations, YouTube Videos, Google Maps, and more.
Book Creator is also absolutely packed with accessibility features. The app features both speech to text and text to speech, closed captioning, keyboard navigation for individuals with motor challenges, alt text, spell check and predictive text, PDF accessibility tools, and more.
Once you have created your book, you can publish it online instantly. Then you will be given a secure URL allowing you to view the book on any device. Then, you can export your book as an ePub file and share it by email or classroom management app. You also have the option to publish it directly to the iBooks store. And if you prefer to have a paper copy of your book, you can export it as a PDF and print it off.
Book Creator is available for iPad and on browsers to use for free with limited features. Additional content subscription plans are also available. To learn more, click here (new window).
