RE: Accessing Bookshare on my iphone
Thank you all for your assistance. I have it all installed, but I have a couple more questions. I have several books in My reading lists and My favorites on the computer that I have not downloaded. Is there a way to move those over to Voice Dream? If not, where do I go to type in a title or author? I’ve tried typing the information in the search field but always get no results. Is there anywhere to get good instructions on navigating through a book? If I have the navigation unit on chapter or page, how do I type in the corresponding number. When I’ve tried to use the search button it doesn’t seem to do anything. In the audio settings section what are the increment and decrement buttons? How do they work? One of the voices I purchased was Jennifer. I’ve speeded her up, but I still get these pauses after a sentence or two. Is that just how she reads or is there something else I should be doing? Sorry for so many questions.

Re: Accessing Bookshare on my iphone
Hi, I wonder if you are not using the Bookshare search but the search to find a book on your device in Voice Dream. To find a book on Bookshare and down load it to your device: Double tap the add button in the lower left. Double tap Bookshare from the list of sources. At the top of the screen you will find a search field, double tap that and you will be able to search for the title or author, etc. Flick right after you get the results to find the matches and then either double tap on the down load button, or double tap on the title/author to read the synopsis if there is one. If you don't get any results, then check your spelling if you are sure that is a book on Bookshare.

Re: Accessing Bookshare on my iphone
I can answer two of your questions. Unfortunately, there is no way to move titles from your wish list on bookshare to voice dream so they can be downloaded. You will have to type their titles into the search box in voice dream to download them. Or, if you know how to transfer via iTunes, you can download them to your computer and transfer them. It is more complicated than usual to transfer to voice dream via iTunes, some might say it is more trouble than it is worth, especially being that the daisy text files are so small that they don't take long to download to your phone directly. I did finally figure out how to do it. The increment button moves the speed up by a smaller percentage that swiping up on the voice settings button, the decrement button moves it down.

Re: Accessing Bookshare on my iphone
Hi, Denise. I am new to this app as well but have successfully used it with my Bookshare account. From the main screen of the app there is an add button. Double-tap on this button. You will then be in a list of options for sources from which you can add material. Keep swiping to the right and you will encounter a Bookshare button. Double-tap. Since this is the first time you're accessing Bookshare through the app, there will be text edidt fields for you to enter the email address and password you use for Bookshare. enter those and there should be a done or ok button, which you double-tap. that should work but if not just let us know ...

Re: Accessing Bookshare on my iphone
In the settings of the app you will find a place to enter your email address and password for bookshare to activate bookshare. From then on, you will be able to double tap on the add button in the lower right and then double tap on bookshare which is the last add source before the cancel button. I hope that made a little sense.
