Voice dream writer, the companion app to voice dream reader is absolutely the app for you in this case. I use it for precisely the same reasons you state, I can’t listen to difficult material read back in a continuous flow so I load the file into voice dream writer which gives me the option of reading by paragraph by sentence or by heading or even bike word and character with a single flip of the cursor. It’s only limitation is you can only load in text files.txt. However to get around this limitation you can first load The file, be a PDF or whatever format, into Voice Dream reader, and then export the text to writer. So in effect you can read any file type in Writer but must first go through the reader app. P.S.the process of exporting text from reader into Writer has been made a little more obscure in the last update, so, if you do buy the app and are having trouble, right again and I’ll give you the details.A
