Reading Bear is complete!

[DadDude]

That's what our internal testing is telling us: it works with Firefox. But why doesn't it work so well with IE and Chrome?

I also have issues playing Hulu in chrome. Lots of lag. But no problem using it in Firefox. Maybe there is something similar going on.

Rudimentary googling, so not fact but something to look into.....
Apparently Firefox runs flash internally, whereas chrome runs it as a seperate application. 

[DadDude]

@Korrale4kq, I passed that along to the programmers. Thanks.

Another question for Reading Bear users/testers! If you do use Firefox, are you having any problems using that? I myself can't get it to work in my (updated) version of Firefox! It works useably in Chrome, although the timing is a little off. We're still figuring things out...

We normally use firefox and we were having a problem with the audio and video not being synched well.  It seems like the last couple of times we have used it I haven't noticed any problems.  It was maybe a touch off but really for the most part okay.

I use Firefox and it has worked very well for me.

[DadDude]

Thanks for the reports...any more?

A quick fix, I find, is to quickly refresh the page (not the browser's refresh function, use the "f" key or the Reading Bear browser's refresh button).

In other news: try the iPad app iSwifter. It actually makes Reading Bear work on the iPad, although the quality is hit and miss, I'm finding.

Congratulations! 

We usually have terribly slow Internet here so I'm not often able to use Reading Bear but we've really enjoyed it on the occasions that our Internet kept up. Great job!

[DadDude]

kmum, make sure you press the "HD" button to use the lower-quality versions of presentations. This should make Reading Bear load much faster, if your Internet connection is slow.

Can I ask anyone to write up your experience with Reading Bear in answer to this Quora question? I'd answer it myself, but I'm kind of biased. :-)

DadDude,

We love Reading Bear! And your Fleschcards too for that matter.  It works just fine on IE in Windows 7. 

My comment is also up on Quora. 

Thank you!

[DadDude]

Thank you! Excellent testimonial!

I decided to try to unseat that irrelevant comment about the Orton-Gillingham method as the top comment, by writing this: http://www.quora.com/Parenting/How-effective-is-the-Reading-Bear-learn-to-read-program/answer/Larry-Sanger-2

DadDude I can't thank you enough for ReadingBear!!! I've done YBCR, YCCR, Leapfrog videos and your Flesch cards, but when i started my 2yr old on ReadingBear it just all clicked for him. It is amazing to see my son sound out words that he's never seen before. Now he reads everything. He even read two verses from the Bible last Sunday in church! I have a very happy little boy who loves to read. THANKS!!
