Re: voice dream virsus read 2 go
I know about the problem you're describing. Believe it or not, it's caused by a bug in the built-in IOS voices. These problems do not occur with Heather, or any of the paid voices. This problem will go away in iOS 7.1 -- I verified it in iOS 7.1 beta. Winston. On Mar 4, 2014, at 5:20 AM, Sandratomkins wrote: Hi Winston, First of all, let me say that I love Voice Dream reader. However, since the latest update, I have been experiencing great difficulty when using the app. I should explain that I listen to books, when I am reading in English, using Daniel the voice-over voice. My problem occurs when I try to pause or restart the reading. I tend to have to either press the pause/play button three times all make the two finger double tap, also, three times, before anything happens. Plus, when I restart reading, I find the cursor has moved on quite a long way through the text. So, I wonder, are you looking into this?

Re: Julia's Voice Not Listed In Voice Dream Lite
The voices are free in the lite version, but they're limited to reading 200-300 characters at a time. In the paid version the voices are $2-$3 a piece. I think the best male voice is Paul. The best female voice is the included voice of Heather. Some prefer Julie. She's a good voice but perhaps toperky for some. Best, Winston.

Re: voice dream and bookshare.
In the next release of Voice Dream Reader, which will come out in a few days, you'll be able to move files from the computer to your iPhone or iPad using iTunes. I looked into reading brf files, and it doesn't seem that difficult. It's a matter prioritizing it among the dozens of items on my to do list. If you feel strongly about needing this feature, please let me know. Best, Winston.

Re: Julia's Voice Not Listed In Voice Dream Lite
Hi, I'm the developer of Voice Dream Reader. I assume you mean the voice of Julie, not Julia. Julie is not available in the Lite version because the maker of the voice, NeoSpeech, has not yet given me the permission to distribute it in the free version. I'm working on that, and it should be out soon. Kimberly and John. thanks a lot for the plug. Winston.

Re: voice dream virsus read 2 go
Of course, Voice Dream Reader can download DAISY books from Bookshare. If you have your own DAISY books, it is actually possible to open it. I haven't publicized it. Take your .zip DAISY book and change ".zip" to ".daisy". Put the file in Dropbox, and open it from Voice Dream Reader. I heard that the directory structure in the zip file must be correct: same as the DIASY files you download from Bookshare. If that's the case, it should work. Best, Winston.

Re: voice dream virsus read 2 go
The release with VoiceOver access to the text will be out in a few days. My short term goal is to make my app at least as accessible as iBooks, which does not have things like navigation by sentence. I don't think iBookssupport line mode in the Rotor which Voice Dream will. I think with the next release, Voice Dream will be more accessible than iBooks. Winston.

Re: voice dream virsus read 2 go
Thanks! Yes, I can use more 5-star reviews. I feel kinda down from a few bad reviews over the last few days from people who bought the app without looking at the description.

Re: voice dream virsus read 2 go
I'm the developer of Voice Dream Reader. I'm just finishing up the next release, which will have page navigation for Bookshare books, and VoiceOveraccess to the text. I plan to submit it to Apple this week, which means it'll be out next week. I'm listening to you and I'll do my best to make my app work for you.

Re: Voice Dream Reader rewinding and fast fording?
Hi, By the way, you don't have to turn VO off. You can do 2-finger left and right swipe in the Text area for sentence rewind and fast forward. You can also skip the bookshare notice using the pre-loaded chapter marks. Winston. On Jan 8, 2013, at 12:09 PM, Maria & Joe Chapman wrote: Hi. thanks for your response.

Re: Voice Dream Reader rewinding and fast fording?
Hi, thanks for buying my app! Text navigation will be improved a lot in the next release. It will be out in a few weeks. The text area has VoiceOver turn off. That means it scrolls, which I know is not ideal for VoiceOver users. You can double tap to start reading from a word, which gives you an imprecise but workable way to navigate. You can also use the pre-built chapter marker, which can be accessed from "Bookmarks" and "Chapters". You can set your own bookmarks by pressing on word and hold. I know it doesn't say the word you selected (which the next release will do.). A bookmark is always set at the beginning of the paragraph, so you don't need to be precise. In this release, after you move the slider, you'll have to double tap on the text area to move the speech cursor. This behavior will change in the next release: you won't need to double tap when VoiceOver is on. Dropbox files do not need to be zipped. Please be patient as I improve my app to meet your needs better. And I promise it will get better and better. Best, Winston. On Jan 8, 2013, at 11:50 AM, Maria & Joe Chapman wrote: Hi.

I can get to all the bookmarks that are automatically generated but didn't know if I could set my own.

Re: Voice Dream Reader
You can download books from Project Gutenberg directly from Voice Dream Reader without leaving the app. The app is universal and runs on all your iDevices once you buy it. It takes advantages of the larger screen of the iPad and iPad mini, not just a blown-up iPhone app. I recommend Dropbox for moving files to the device. Voice Dream can access files in your Dropbox directly. Winston. On Jan 7, 2013, at 3:56 AM, RobH! wrote: Hey! how the ek I miss this, it's the one thing I have probably greatest need for.

Re: Voice Dream Reader
Hi, I'm the developer of Voice Dream Reader. You're right: text navigation with VoiceOver on needs work. I'm thinking through this problem carefully and will have a good solution soon. For now, you can do a search in the text to find the Title, for example, and make a bookmark there. I know making a bookmark requires the imprecise long-press on the screen. It may help to know that when it navigates to a piece of text through search, the text is about one quarter down from the top of the screen. My goal is for you to do everything around long-running content with one text to speech readers. I think we'll get there soon. Best, Winston.
