Case Study: Voice Dream achieves real-time text highlighting and improved reading accessibility with Foxit Software's Embedded PDF SDK

Voice Dream - Customer Case Study

Voice Dream, founded by Winston Chen, is a mobile text‑to‑speech app used by the vision impaired, people with dyslexia, drivers and editors. Originally built as a hobby, the app began to demand more advanced PDF handling—specifically fast, reliable extraction of each word’s location so text could be highlighted in sync with spoken audio—something Winston’s code and free PDF libraries could not deliver.

After evaluating three options, Voice Dream integrated Foxit Embedded PDF SDK, which provided a custom, high‑performance text‑location and highlighting feature plus hands‑on technical and financial support during integration. The result was faster, more reliable PDF rendering, synchronized word highlighting that improves reading skills and overall user satisfaction, and a scalable foundation for the app’s future growth.
