Re: A Question for Audible Subscribers
Guys, just a side note here for folks who are braille users using whisper Sync with audible and kindle. I've discovered this and You can open the kindle book, download the audible narration if you got the audible book when you got the kindle book, and you can turn speech off, and read as you listen. Turn the turn pages when panning setting off in settings accessibility, voiceover braille, and it will automatically flip flages as you read and listen. It's a whole new different way to read and while not for everybody or for all the time, it's good to have when you want or need it, pronunciation of words, and such. Just a quick note. Ok, I'll go back to my book now but wanted to throw that out there.

When you purchase a Whispersync for Voice kindle title, this is to say that it is a title that has an audible companion, not only can you listen to the professional audio narration, as you would do from within the Audible app, but you can see the text of the book scrolling on the display in synchronization with the audio playback. This is a very nice feature for a sighted or low vision person. 2. One way to take advantage of this feature is to search for a word or phrase from within the kindle app, then, once founds, select the play button and the professional audio version will begin to play from that specific location. 3. The Whispersync for Voice feature it what allows Alexa to either read the Kindle title, directly, or playback the Audible version from the title's last known reading position. Now, I'm not certain how useful with feature would be to someone who does not use Alexa very much or to someone who does not have a need to search a book or who does not particularly enjoy the Kindle app. As for pricing, one does not need to be an Audible subscriber to enjoy any of the features described, above. For example, I recently purchased a Kindle title for $5. Now the Audible version of that same title, without an Audible subscription was $26.

RE: A Question for Audible Subscribers
Hello Kait, Okay, I am going to paste in a small article that describes what Whispersync for Voice is and does but I don't think the article reads well for a VoiceOver user so let me thumbnail it for you: 1. When you purchase a Whispersync for Voice kindle title, this is to say that it is a title that has an audible companion, not only can you listen to the professional audio narration, as you would do from within the Audible app, but you can see the text of the book scrolling on the display in synchronization with the audio playback.

RE: A Question for Audible Subscribers
It's called, Whisper Sync. Basically, it means you can sync the position of whatever title you're listening to across all devices. So, if you have a phone, a tablet, and computer, if you listen to a chapter of one title and pause, you can pick up where you left off on another device if you so choose.

I went to the Library tab in the Audible app on my iPhone 13 Mini today after reading your message and noted that about 7 books are listed per screen. When a swipe right is done on the last listing on the screen, focus shifts to the mini player which is at the very bottom instead of advancing to the next book in your library. If you're on the second screen of your library on the book at the top, swiping left takes you to the filtering buttons at the top of the screen instead of advancing the screen to the preceding page. I know others have said you can do a three finger swipe up to move to succeeding pages or a three finger swipe down to move to previous pages but you have to hope that no titles are skipped when doing this because there is absolutely no way when using Voiceover to single finger swipe to every title in your library. I tried setting my rotor to vertical navigation hoping that would let me move through each title individually but it also does not cause the screen to advance or move back when attempting to move past the last book or first book on the screen.

RE: A Question for Audible Subscribers
Honestly Mark, I've had my accounts merged for some time now, and up until the release prior to the current one, I've experienced the issues you're experiencing. It's definitely the app cooperating with VoiceOver, and I've deduced that it is specifically the app causing the issues on Audibles side of things.

The funny thing is that I absolutely did not encounter this until early this morning when I decided to merge my old audible account with my Amazon account in order to take advantage of the Whispers Voice feature.

Mark -Original Message- From: vipho...@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Alan Lemly Sent: Monday, April 18, 2022 8:31 PM To: vipho...@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: A Question for Audible Subscribers Hi Mark, I really think the solution is for the Audible developers to fix the app so that single finger swipes right places focus on the next book in your library regardless if that next book is on a following screen. I went to the Library tab in the Audible app on my iPhone 13 Mini today after reading your message and noted that about 7 books are listed per screen. When a swipe right is done on the last listing on the screen, focus shifts to the mini player which is at the very bottom instead of advancing to the next book in your library. If you're on the second screen of your library on the book at the top, swiping left takes you to the filtering buttons at the top of the screen instead of advancing the screen to the preceding page. I know others have said you can do a three finger swipe up to move to succeeding pages or a three finger swipe down to move to previous pages but you have to hope that no titles are skipped when doing this because there is absolutely no way when using Voiceover to single finger swipe to every title in your library. I tried setting my rotor to vertical navigation hoping that would let me move through each title individually but it also does not cause the screen to advance or move back when attempting to move past the last book or first book on the screen. I don't know which update changed this behavior but I don't believe it has always worked like this. If you have any suggestions on where we can write to request a change, I'd welcome it and will write Audible. Alan Lemly -Original Message- From: vipho...@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of M.

Hello Alan, Your experience and my experience are identical. The funny thing is that I absolutely did not encounter this until early this morning when I decided to merge my old audible account with my Amazon account in order to take advantage of the Whispers Voice feature.

Yes, precisely; this is exactly what is happening.

RE: A Question for Audible Subscribers
Hi Mark, I'm a heavy audible user with nearly 700 titles in my audible library. I haven't noticed any skipping of titles, but I have seen at times where I will be scrolling through my list using a one-finger flick to the right, and all of a sudden it will start giving me the text that is at the top of the library list screen and won't continue through the list of titles. Of course, the fix for that is to do a three-finger swip up and continue swiping right with one finger to keep reading the list of titles. But as of yet I haven't run into the issue you're having.

Re: A Question for Audible Subscribers
I had a problem similar to yours a while ago. First, make sure that you are using the latest version of the audible app. If so then try signing out of your account in the app and then sign in again. that really helped me. Just sign out close the app then reopen it and sign in again. I hope that helps. > On Apr 18, 2022, at 2:47 PM, M.
