Re: Overdrive help needed -- how to see only audiobooks

[Barbara Stahl]

As Richard said, the overdrive app has vastly improved over the years. There 
are now hundreds if not thousands of audiobooks and accessible ebooks that are 
free to download and read. As for the size of the files, this does not matter 
so much in the overdrive app. You just download them and listen to them and 
then they will disappear after the lending period is over. I also have not 
noticed any difference in downloading time between the overdrive and audible 
apps. The only major setback is that it is easier to navigate through an 
audible book. For instance, I can make audible books rewind ten or so seconds 
using the controls on my bluetooth headphones and speakers, but I cannot do 
this with the overdrive app, I have to navigate using the phone. However, the 
overdrive books are free, so its worth a little inconvenience.

Re: Overdrive help needed -- how to see only audiobooks

[Joshua Hendrickson]

I never liked over drive.  My library had it and I couldn't get access
to that many audio books.  I also didn't like that the mp3 files were
in 64 KBPS format, and I could get the books from audible in 32 KBPS
format so they were smaller in size from audible.

Re: Overdrive help needed -- how to see only audiobooks

Once you complete the borrow through amazon, you will read the book through the 
kindle app, not the overdrive app. You just setup the kindle app then the book 
will appear in the cloud. You then download it which usually doesn't take more 
than a minute or so then you are good to go and can start reading.

The books are borrow through your public library. So yes, they are free as long 
as you have a library card just as if you could walk into the library and 
choose a book.

Re: Overdrive help needed -- how to see only audiobooks

[Richard Turner]

Thanks Barbara, but it was more of a patience issue, grin.
This morning, the book was fully downloaded.
I tried an eBook today that was a Kindle, but will need to try that again since 
I didn't click on the Amazon link.
The Overdrive app is vastly improved from when I last tried it a few years ago.
Nice to see they are taking accessibility seriously.

Richard, what issues are you having with downloads in the overdrive app? 
Perhaps I can help. I use this app all the time. Sometimes you have to 
redownload if the download does not download correctly the first time. You do 
this in the files section on the main menu. Just tell me what issues you are 
having and I can see if I can help you figure it out if you want.

I do not believe their eBooks are accessible, but the audio books are.
Depending on your library, you check them out for up to 21 dyas and then they 
disappear and if you are not finished, you can put a hold on it and when it 
becomes available again, you will be notified and can download it then.
I am just trying to get it to work myself.
And while I got a book checked out downloading it hasn't gone smoothly.

Time will tell.

You also need a local library card to a public library I believe.
This is the way local libraries are distributing their books electronically.

RE: OverDrive Help

[M. Taylor]

Hello Richard,

After receiving your post, I downloaded several e-books from Over Drive and 
attempted to read them via VoiceOver and via my Braille display.  

For a host of reasons, including display bleed-through, it is my opinion that, 
at this time, while the iOS version of Over Drive is accessible for use with 
audio books, it is not VoiceOver accessible for use with e-books, in terms of 
convenient page navigation.  This is to say, while the actual text of a page 
can be read via VoiceOver, the page/e-book navigation controls, for all intent 
and purposes, are inaccessible.

mark, t

hank you for the post.

mark, I am using brialle display. I would like to use over drive as if I choose 
to find books. so far, if I find sue grafton book such as w is for wasted which 
is the name of title she wrote, can I find page number in braille display

reason is that bookshare.org doesn't have page numbers for this book, and it 
has chapters. that is wonderful. but the problem is if I am reading the 
chapter, and when I go through in middle or three-fourth of chapter, then phone 
rings or doorbell rings I have to leave it and go over to answer phone or door. 
it would take time and come back, the iphone is off and I would turn it back on 
and I don't know where I am at where I leave. I would use advance button and 
keep hittingseveral times without knowing which page is and even not knowing 
where to find where I leave off. it would be wise to locate page number and 
then it would be easier to save time and cut down stress looking as bookmark is 
not very helpful.

if over drive do provide page numbers, then it would be great deal to be hepful 
and it would cut down tensions and then can enjoy finishing the book. 
thank you!

sincerely,
rich

Hello,

With regard to Over Drive:

The simple answer to your question is, "Yes."  There is a way to change the 
location in an audio book by other than the 15-second buttons and the section 
heading buttons.

However, it kind of depends upon how much useable vision, if any, you possess.

If you can locate the scrub bar, located just above the controls, described 
above, you can single-finger, double-tap and hold while moving your finger in 
order to fast-forward or rewind through the title.

As implied, while this feature can be engaged with VoiceOver enabled, actually 
locating the scrub bar can be a bit of a challenge.  So much so that I usually 
don't bother to use it.  I find that jumping by section headings is good enough 
for me.

I just recently got signed up with my local library and installed OverDrive 
which I am enjoying tremendously. However, I am wondering if there is any other 
method of fast forwarding and rewinding other than the 15 seconds button shown 
or having to go back a hole chapter at a time. Thanks for any help in this 
matter. I downloaded the new RS Games app onto my IPhone 6s and am having a 
couple issues that I’m wondering if it is just me. Firstly, whenever I send a 
chat message the background music goes away. Secondly, the speech will go away 
in the middle of a game and I will have to dump the game and go back in. This 
happens quite often. I tried unloading voiceover and just use the built in 
speech but does the same thing. This happens with both the Alex voice and any 
of the others. Is anyone else finding these bugs as well?

I use voice dream reader to read books from Bookshare.  It remembers where I 
left off in each book.

mark, t

hank you for the post.

mark, I am using brialle display. I would like to use over drive as if I
choose to find books. so far, if I find sue grafton book such as w is for
wasted which is the name of title she wrote, can I find page number in
braille display

reason is that bookshare.org doesn't have page numbers for this book, and it
has chapters. that is wonderful. but the problem is if I am reading the
chapter, and when I go through in middle or three-fourth of chapter, then
phone rings or doorbell rings I have to leave it and go over to answer phone
or door. it would take time and come back, the iphone is off and I would
turn it back on and I don't know where I am at where I leave. I would use
advance button and keep hittingseveral times without knowing which page is
and even not knowing where to find where I leave off. it would be wise to
locate page number and then it would be easier to save time and cut down
stress looking as bookmark is not very helpful.

if over drive do provide page numbers, then it would be great deal to be
hepful and it would cut down tensions and then can enjoy finishing the book.
thank you!

sincerely,
rich

Hello,

With regard to Over Drive:

The simple answer to your question is, "Yes."  There is a way to change the
location in an audio book by other than the 15-second buttons and the
section heading buttons.

However, it kind of depends upon how much useable vision, if any, you
possess.

If you can locate the scrub bar, located just above the controls, described
above, you can single-finger, double-tap and hold while moving your finger
in order to fast-forward or rewind through the title.

As implied, while this feature can be engaged with VoiceOver enabled,
actually locating the scrub bar can be a bit of a challenge.  So much so
that I usually don't bother to use it.  I find that jumping by section
headings is good enough for me.

I just recently got signed up with my local library and installed OverDrive
which I am enjoying tremendously. However, I am wondering if there is any
other
method of fast forwarding and rewinding other than the 15 seconds button
shown or having to go back a hole chapter at a time. Thanks for any help in
this
matter. I downloaded the new RS Games app onto my IPhone 6s and am having a
couple issues that I’m wondering if it is just me. Firstly, whenever I send
a chat message the background music goes away. Secondly, the speech will go
away in the middle of a game and I will have to dump the game and go back
in. This happens quite often. I tried unloading voiceover and just use the
built in speech but does the same thing. This happens with both the Alex
voice and any of the others. Is anyone else finding these bugs as well?
