Description
StarForce Reader allows you to open PDF and EPUB text documents as well as playback WAV, MP3, WMA, FLAC, OGG, etc. audio and AVI, MPEG, MOV, FLV, WMV, etc. video files. The full list of the supported formats is provided below.
Protected files (SFPDF, PCDOC, and SFMEDIA) are created using the SFContent.com and SFLetter.com services, allowing content owners to securely encrypt their sensitive data from illegal distribution.
The app scans the device for files that might be open on it, automatically adding them to the app's library. StarForce Reader allows you to sort, filter and search for files in the library. The application allows you to view not only encrypted data, but also regular PDF documents, as well as audio and video recordings. You can also create notes or search within the text. Sound playback for audio and video recordings is available in the background.
