Readeez are a new way to learn reading, math, ESL, spelling and other useful things. A Readee is a short video, usually musical, where you see and hear every syllable at the same time. We call this SyllableSync. More than 150 Readeez have been produced so far. Readeez were created by Michael Rachap.

All About Downloads (Or "Video, Audio and The Wonders of Readeez On The Go")

iPad Users: Our products WILL WORK on your iPad. Just download them first to your computer, then sync the files (audio or video) with the iPad (or iPhone). 

If you're curious about Readeez video downloads, the best thing to do is try our free demo. Click this link to download a 13MB Video Sampler. You can open it with iTunes, QuickTime Player, VLC, or (possibly) Windows Media Player.

For more details, read on.

What format are the videos?

Readeez videos are in the format used by Apple's iTunes store: MPEG-4 (the file extension is .m4v). They come in a Zip file, which should Unzip automatically. (If it doesn't, here's a little info about Unzipping.)

What program should I play them with? 

Some good choices are iTunes, QuickTime Player and VLC. All free. VLC is most likely the smallest download of the three. 

Can I play them with Windows Media Player?

Maybe. Some recent versions support this format. If you have an older version and you really want to use it to play Readeez, here's an article about how to do it.  

How big are the files?

Surprisingly small. Because Readeez have a lot of white space and text onscreen, they don't take up as much room as, say, an action-adventure film. Actual sizes:  

  • Readeez Volume One Download: 84MB
  • Readeez Volume Two Download: 117MB
  • Readeez Volume Three Download: 144MB
  • Readeez Money Math Folderful: 39MB
  • Songeez CD Download (with Full-Color Lyrics PDF): 60MB

How long will it take to download?

That depends on your connection speed. You can check that here. Once you know your speed you can go here and enter 100MB (an average download size) to get a (possibly wrong) idea of download time. 

As an example, at a download speed of 1.544 Mbps (a typical cable modem speed), you could have a 100MB file in about 9 minutes. But nothing is certain in this world. Your mileage may vary. 

What if I can't get the download to work?

If you're worried about whether the videos will play, please first try downloading our free demo (described above) and check it out. If it plays, the larger downloads should too. Still having trouble? Contact us. We'll figure something out.

Will the downloads play on my (insert device here)?

We can't make guarantees for every device. But the best evidence indicates that these videos should play on the iPad, the iPhone, iPod Touch and AppleTV. Older-model video iPods may not work. Best advice: Try the free download first. Then you'll know.

Can I download the files directly to my iPad or iPhone?

NO. These are video files, not Apps. To get them into your iDevice, first add them to iTunes. Then connect the Device and select the Readeez file(s) you want to sync. 

What format are the audio files? 

Good old MP3. Unprotected, high-quality. They play on your computer and just about all portable devices.

 

Thanks for reading!
