International version of "Readeo"

November 28, 2018 8:36 PM

I live in one country and my parents live another. Neither of these is the US. My mother wants to sign up for the "Readeo" service so she can read a story to my daughter over a video chat, where half the screen is the book in question and half the person. It seems, however, to be a US-only service. Are there any international versions?

Of course she could just buy/borrow library books and hold it up to the camera while reading it over FaceTime, but her preference is for a similar service to "readeo".

Some people use Skype for this. One grandma reads almost every night to her grandkids even if they are off screen. She can hear them moving around and knows they can hear her.

For a few bucks a month you could get your mother to use a VPN that connects you to the US.
