Fortunately, the app icon on my phone still says, Voice Dream Reader. I hope 
that continues, as it's a much better name.

  Hi Leo, et al.

  I just heard about this and here is the answer I sent to the BlindApples 
list.





  I have a pretty good relationship with Winston Chen, the developer of the 
Voice Dream apps, so I wrote him directly and inquired.



  He has given me permission to share the below information.

  Note that no one yet knows the timing of the iOS/iPadOS subscription 
model.

  Also, he is quite confident that the group he mentions below who acquired 
Voice Dream Reader will take good care of the app or he wouldn't have sold it 
to them.

  On yet another note before I share what Winston said, I agree with him 
that the one-time charge model of app development is not sustainable if you 
need an app to grow and change with current technology.  If only one programmer 
knows the code, and something happens to that developer, the app will die.  
This way, you end up with a team maintaining the app.



  Here is what Winston said:

  " Voice Dream Reader (both iOS and macOS versions), and the brand “Voice 
Dream”, were acquired by Applause Group. 



  The pricing decision was made by Applause - I was not aware of the amount 
and timing. But I totally support transitioning Voice Dream Reader to a 
subscription model. The one-time-price model is not sustainable. I planned to 
do it myself before the acquisition.



  On a separate note, Scanner and Writer were not acquired, and they will 
remain my apps. they will be renamed to VDScan and VDWrite, and under a new 
company named Opus Noma.



  There should’ve been communication about the acquisition but due to a 
legal issue, I have not been able to announce it.



  More from me about this soon..."



  An official statement will be coming soon.  What soon means, I have no 
idea.  Be patient.

  And, at this time, VDScan and VDWrite will remain one-time purchases.



  HTH,



  Richard, USA.

Hi Anna,

 

The subscription will work for both the Mac app and the iOS app. It will take 
another week or so to make sure the subscriptions are unified, but if you 
purchase one, it will work for the other. Hope that helps!

Hello, 

I understand that the iOS version of Voice dream reader is going to a 
subscription of $60 a year for new users. Is the Mac version also changing 
owners, and if so, how will the subscription work for that? I use the Mac 
version and have the $50 a year subscription. Will that cost remain the same? 
Will there be a price break for new users who use both versions? 

Thanks,

Greetings all,

 

I’ve been in contact with the new owners of Voice Dream Reader.

Current users will be “GrandFathered in” so will not have to pay the 
subscription fee.  

New users, as of today, April 25th, 2023, will have to subscribe.  The current 
price is $59.99 per year.  That may go down in time.

In my humble opinion, that is a very reasonable price for such a fabulous app.  
That works out to $5.00 per month.

I have used Voice Dream Reader since its first year in the app store.  I would 
gladly pay $59.99 per year because it is such a great app!  I just want the app 
to continue to improve, which I believe it will.

 

Here is a statement from the new owner/developer of Voice Dream Reader:

When a new user downloads the app, they will see a subscription screen that 
explains the app a bit more, the price and a button to start a free trial. 

An important difference between the paid upfront and the subscription model is 
that we'll be offering a free trial, so anyone can try the app and see if it's 
worth it for them without spending any money. 

The free trial will be 7 days as of the date a new user starts using the app.

 

The support email will continue to be  <mailto:supp...@voicedream.com> 
supp...@voicedream.com

 

the Applause Group purchased the app and the brand from Winston Chen so the 
contact email won’t change.

 

For those who also use, or will use, the Scanner and Writer apps from Winston, 
they will remain his property and will be renamed to VDScan and VDWrite and 
will not be subscriptions.

The new names will probably show up in the app store in a week or so.

Winston’s new company will be named Opus Noma.

 

HTH,

Richard, USA.

I have used Voice Dream Reader since its first year in the app store.  I would

For those who also use, or will use, the Scanner and Writer apps from Winston, 
they will remain his property and will be renamed to VDScan and VDWrite and

The new names will probably show up in the app store in a week or so.

If you break the price down, it is about $5.00 a month, or $1.15 per week. I 
think most people could give something up that would cover the cost.

2023-04-25 Thread Kelby Carlson
The only specific improvement they noted on the AppleVis forum was new voices; 
there's no way that justifies such a drastic increase in price. I would want to 
know much more about improvements they hope to make that would justify this 
than I do now to be convinced; "it's not sustainable" is simply not an adequate 
answer. It's wise of them to grandfather old users in; I'd seriously consider 
re-purchasing a Victor Reader Stream or going back to my old Apex to read books 
rather than pay that much.

RE: Voice Dream Reader for IOS, yearly suscription?

2023-04-25 Thread Christopher Chaltain
I'm not sure what you're asking, but they couldn't just start charging those 
people who bought Voice Dream Reader for a fixed price with the new 
subscription fee. However, they could definitely discontinue support and 
updates for the fixed price version and only support and update the 
subscription version.

There's also a big difference between what is and isn't legal versus what is 
and isn't allowed in the App Store. Companies get acquired all of the time and 
product lines will come and go.

OK, this source has been completely verified.  A friend of mine who didn't have 
the app went to the Appstore and downloaded Voice Dream Reader. The app offers 
1 week trial after which  the user must pay a 59 dollar yearly  subscription, 
of course, the price probably is not the same for all countries or regions.

Re: Voice Dream Reader for IOS, yearly suscription?

2023-04-25 Thread Joshua Hendrickson
I'm glad that I won't have to pay for voice dream reader.  However,
even if I did have to pay for the app, $59 per year is still a good
price.  It is one of my most used apps on my iPhone.  I just added a
ton of audio books to voice dream reader using iTunes.  I love being
able to use a USBC to lightning cable.  The copy sppeeds that my
zipped audio books copy over to my iPhone 13 pro max is incredibly
fast.  It is great.

RE: Voice Dream Reader subscription details from the new owners, Applause Group

2023-04-25 Thread Christopher Chaltain
As far as I know, there was never a free version of Voice Dream Reader. It used 
to have a fixed price and now it’s going to a subscription model. From what 
others have said on this list, the fixed price version will continue to be 
supported and get updates.

Greetings all,

I’ve been in contact with the new owners of Voice Dream Reader.
Current users will be “GrandFathered in” so will not have to pay the 
subscription fee.
New users, as of today, April 25th, 2023, will have to subscribe.  The current 
price is $59.99 per year.  That may go down in time.
In my humble opinion, that is a very reasonable price for such a fabulous app.  
That works out to $5.00 per month.
I have used Voice Dream Reader since its first year in the app store.  I would 
gladly pay $59.99 per year because it is such a great app!  I just want the app 
to continue to improve, which I believe it will.

Here is a statement from the new owner/developer of Voice Dream Reader:
When a new user downloads the app, they will see a subscription screen that 
explains the app a bit more, the price and a button to start a free trial.
An important difference between the paid upfront and the subscription model is 
that we'll be offering a free trial, so anyone can try the app and see if it's 
worth it for them without spending any money.
The free trial will be 7 days as of the date a new user starts using the app.

The support email will continue to be 
supp...@voicedream.com<mailto:supp...@voicedream.com>

the Applause Group purchased the app and the brand from Winston Chen so the 
contact email won’t change.

For those who also use, or will use, the Scanner and Writer apps from Winston, 
they will remain his property and will be renamed to VDScan and VDWrite and 
will not be subscriptions.
The new names will probably show up in the app store in a week or so.
Winston’s new company will be named Opus Noma.

HTH,
Richard, USA.

Oh many apps of change models. There was one that was very expensive that is 
now free.

I think one thing the new owner should realize is that there are free 
alternatives to voice dream reader. It is my favorite reading app but there’s 
also the dolphin the reader and Capt. and others. Bookshare has also just come

RE: Voice Dream Reader for IOS, yearly suscription?

2023-04-25 Thread Richard Turner
I am not a lawyer, but I suspect it is up to the owner what they do.

However, I suspect that could be a huge PR problem.

 

At this point, they do not plan to do that and they give no indication that 
they might.  

I personally would have no issues if I had to subscribe.  I know for some 
people, that could be a difficult price to pay, but I think it is worth paying 
for.

But I totally support transitioning Voice Dream Reader to a subscription model. The one-time-price model is not sustainable. I planned to do it myself before the acquisition. On a separate note, Scanner and Writer were not acquired, and they will remain my apps. they will be renamed to VDScan and VDWrite, and under a new company named Opus Noma. There should’ve been communication about the acquisition but due to a legal issue, I have not been able to announce it. More from me about this soon..." An official statement will be coming soon.  What soon means, I have no idea.  Be patient.And, at this time, VDScan and VDWrite will remain one-time purchases. HTH, Richard, USA.“Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.”  --  Jane Wagner from The Search for Intelligent Life in the Universe My web site: https://www.turner42.com

RE: Voice Dream Reader for IOS, yearly suscription?

2023-04-25 Thread Leo Bado
Ok Richard, thanks again, now let me go further. Let’s say that Applause wants 
to put all customers under the subscription model, is this still legally 
viable? By all customers I mean  also all those customers that already paid for 
the app in the past under the one-time payment model.

 

Best,

Leo Bado

OK, this source has been completely verified.  A friend of mine who didn’t have

1 week trial after which  the user must pay a 59 dollar yearly  subscription,

RE: Voice Dream Reader for IOS, yearly suscription?

2023-04-25 Thread Leo Bado
OK, this source has been completely verified.  A friend of mine who didn’t have 
the app went to the Appstore and downloaded Voice Dream Reader. The app offers 
1 week trial after which  the user must pay a 59 dollar yearly  subscription, 
of course, the price probably is not the same for all countries or regions.

RE: Voice Dream Reader for IOS, yearly suscription?

2023-04-25 Thread Leo Bado
First and foremost, Richard, I want to thank you  for providing such a reliable 
information. Secondly, I would also like  to know what is the source  from 
which some people are passing on what seems to be specific information on the 
subscription model. I asked about Voice Dream reader in this list because I saw 
bunches of WhatsApp  messages  giving, apparently, specific and detailed 
information that made me suspicious.

 

Best,

Penny, and anyone else who have stated that current owners will not have to pay

have not heard yet.

Hi Leo, et al.

I just heard about this and here is the answer I sent to the BlindApples list.

 

 

I have a pretty good relationship with Winston Chen, the developer of the Voice 
Dream apps, so I wrote him directly and inquired.

 

He has given me permission to share the below information.

Note that no one yet knows the timing of the iOS/iPadOS subscription model.

Also, he is quite confident that the group he mentions below who acquired Voice 
Dream Reader will take good care of the app or he wouldn't have sold it to them.

On yet another note before I share what Winston said, I agree with him that the 
one-time charge model of app development is not sustainable if you need an app 
to grow and change with current technology.  If only one programmer knows the 
code, and something happens to that developer, the app will die.  This way, you 
end up with a team maintaining the app.

 

Here is what Winston said:

" Voice Dream Reader (both iOS and macOS versions), and the brand “Voice 
Dream”, were acquired by Applause Group. 

 

The pricing decision was made by Applause - I was not aware of the amount and 
timing. But I totally support transitioning Voice Dream Reader to a 
subscription model. The one-time-price model is not sustainable. I planned to 
do it myself before the acquisition.

 

On a separate note, Scanner and Writer were not acquired, and they will remain 
my apps. they will be renamed to VDScan and VDWrite, and under a new company 
named Opus Noma.

 

There should’ve been communication about the acquisition but due to a legal 
issue, I have not been able to announce it.

 

More from me about this soon..."

 

An official statement will be coming soon.  What soon means, I have no idea.  
Be patient.

And, at this time, VDScan and VDWrite will remain one-time purchases.

 

HTH,

 

Richard, USA.

RE: Voice Dream Reader for IOS, yearly suscription?

2023-04-25 Thread Richard Turner
Hi Leo, et al.

I just heard about this and here is the answer I sent to the BlindApples list.

 

 

I have a pretty good relationship with Winston Chen, the developer of the Voice 
Dream apps, so I wrote him directly and inquired.

 

He has given me permission to share the below information.

Note that no one yet knows the timing of the iOS/iPadOS subscription model.

Also, he is quite confident that the group he mentions below who acquired Voice 
Dream Reader will take good care of the app or he wouldn't have sold it to them.

On yet another note before I share what Winston said, I agree with him that the 
one-time charge model of app development is not sustainable if you need an app 
to grow and change with current technology.  If only one programmer knows the 
code, and something happens to that developer, the app will die.  This way, you 
end up with a team maintaining the app.

 

Here is what Winston said:

" Voice Dream Reader (both iOS and macOS versions), and the brand “Voice 
Dream”, were acquired by Applause Group. 

 

The pricing decision was made by Applause - I was not aware of the amount and 
timing. But I totally support transitioning Voice Dream Reader to a 
subscription model. The one-time-price model is not sustainable. I planned to 
do it myself before the acquisition.

 

On a separate note, Scanner and Writer were not acquired, and they will remain 
my apps. they will be renamed to VDScan and VDWrite, and under a new company 
named Opus Noma.

 

There should’ve been communication about the acquisition but due to a legal 
issue, I have not been able to announce it.

 

More from me about this soon..."

 

An official statement will be coming soon.  What soon means, I have no idea.  
Be patient.

And, at this time, VDScan and VDWrite will remain one-time purchases.

 

HTH,

 

Richard, USA.

Hi everyone, is it true that Voice Dream Reader for IOS is changing to a yearly

Re: Voice Dream Reader and OneDrive

2022-12-20 Thread Richard Turner
The way I access OneDrive in Voice Dream Reader is to double tap add.
Then, file browser.
Then, if OneDrive is not where you left it, hit the back button until you get 
to Locations.
Then, open Locations and flick right to OneDrive.
Make sure you are on the browse tab at the bottom, unless you know the 
file/files you want are in recents.
Then, flick through to the file you want and double tap. Then double tap on OK 
when it says your file was loaded.
Then find the done button in the upper right and double tap.
Then enjoy your content.

Almost any online data source can be added for VDR. I added OneDrive.
However, the Web Browser VDR uses is completely unresponsive on the
OneDrive link to sign into the service. VDR just goes to the OneDrive
website. I just sent a support e-mail about the problem.

Before deleting the app, close all apps from the app switcher and reboot your

VoiceOver


Hi everyone,

I purchased  a Kindle eBook on my phone and was told, "VoiceOver 
does not support this content." It's a Jewish prayerbook, and odds 
are that it's pictures of the pages, rather than the actual text. I 
know there used to be software that could convert Kindle eBooks into 
accessible formats. If I end up with an image-based file, such as an 
images-only PDF, I can run it through Voice Dream Reader to 
recognize the text, so I'm fine if the software creates an image 
file. Does anyone know of software that can do this? I have access 
to computers running MacOS and Windows, so either is fine.


Thanks so much for any help! I'd like to have this for my nephew's 
bar mitzvah in a couple of weeks.


Best,
Anna

Subject: accessing a Kindle eBook that refuses to play nicely with VoiceOver

Hi everyone,

I purchased  a Kindle eBook on my phone and was told, "VoiceOver does not support 
this content." It's a Jewish prayerbook, and odds are that it's pictures of the 
pages, rather than the actual text. I know there used to be software that could convert 
Kindle eBooks into accessible formats. If I end up with an image-based file, such as an 
images-only PDF, I can run it through Voice Dream Reader to recognize the text, so I'm 
fine if the software creates an image file. Does anyone know of software that can do 
this? I have access to computers running MacOS and Windows, so either is fine.

Thanks so much for any help! I'd like to have this for my nephew's bar mitzvah 
in a couple of weeks.

Best,
Anna

Re: Voice Dream Reader with a braille display

2021-12-28 Thread Woody Anna Dresner
Hi Richard,

I agree that Dream Reader works well with braille. You can control how much of 
the screen is taken up by text. Having only a couple of lines makes it less 
likely that you will lose your place, which can happen if you have a lot of 
lines onscreen and accidentally touch text that is many lines from where you 
were reading. Panning works smoothly and doesn't result in lost or duplicated 
text.

Best,
Anna

Hi Richard,

I really don’t have too much problems with Voice Dream Reader with my Braille

Re: Voice Dream Reader exporting text?

2021-04-18 Thread 'Harry Bell' via VIPhone
Thanks, richard! I seem to have solved the issue by importing the VDR .txt 
files into textedit on the Mac and setting preferences to open and save as 
plain text. I don’t really understand the complexities, but at least it is 
working to read the files on the Focus Blue!

Re: Voice Dream Reader exporting text?

2021-04-18 Thread Richard Turner
There is no documentation that I've found to say if they are UTF-8 or not.
So, you will find out the quickest by trying one and see.
Or write Winston directly.
I suppose you could bring up the properties on a computer and see if you can 
find the encoding info that way...

RE: voice dream reader and siri voices

2021-01-19 Thread Richard Turner
The short answer is no.
Apple won't let third party apps use Siri voices yet.
When you use it with Kindle, you are using VoiceOver to read, not the Kindle 
app so far as the voice is concerned.
So, like many, many, of us, please write 
accessibil...@apple.com and request that they 
allow app developers to use Siri voices, especially book reading apps like 
voice Dream Reader.

Re: Voice Dream Reader

2021-01-16 Thread Richard Turner
Well, my first choice would be to connect something like a Victor Reader to the 
earphone jack and record it that way. 
Or, you probably could use the screen recording feature, but realize that is 
likely to be a very large file depending on how long of a recording you are 
making.

"You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon 
airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep 
space, that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was 
young."
"Why, what did she tell you?"

No.
You cannot convert text files to audio with Voice Dream Reader.
The only way would be to record the entire file as Voice Dream reads it.

Re: Voice Dream Reader update is out, version 4.12 includes scanning

2021-01-16 Thread dani pagador
I know money is precious, especially these days. But IMHO, I don't
mind having gotten the apps separately. Winston's costs are
reasonable, and he's made sure over the years to make sure the apps
have kept up with IOS development, and we're not charged for updates
at all. Not a steal. More like a really really great deal.
I'll go look at this new added feature now.
Thanks,
Dani

Very interesting.  I do not find that scan button.
Do you also have the separate scanner app?
I have both and the only way I can scan within Voice Dream Reader is to do the 
add button, then scanner.

On mine, I don't need to go into Add; right before the Add button, there's a

As much as I don't scan things. I am not going to be upset about

Re: Voice Dream Reader update is out, version 4.12 includes scanning

2021-01-11 Thread Gerardo Corripio
On mine, I don't need to go into Add; right before the Add button, there's a 
Scan button. You double-tap, and you're in the the same interface as you'd be 
if you open the Scanner app. Wasn't the Scan item there before? I seem to have 
vaguely seen it! Or is it only there for those who have the separate VDR 
Scanner app?

Re: Voice Dream Reader update is out, version 4.12 includes scanning

2021-01-10 Thread Mary Otten
I totally agree, richard. In fact, since I have the scanning app and the 
reader, I don’t think the addition of the scanner to the reader is going to do 
anything for us who have the reader. Is there a difference between the reader 
that had the scanning functionality in it already, as in with a PDF when you 
load it in and it’s an image. I guess there is, because this let you scan 
documents that you haven’t loaded in yet? Anyway, I was fine with it the way it 
was.

Re: Voice Dream Reader update is out, version 4.12 includes scanning

2021-01-10 Thread Richard Turner
I strongly disagree. Having bought the apps separately, I do not feel like I 
got a bad deal at all. I've been able to use the stand-alone app all this time 
for quick and accurate scans, and as the tweet I've quoted severl times in 
various messages, the stand-alone app will still be beneficial for quick scans. 
With the stand-alone app, you open it, point it at a document, piece of mail, 
whatever, and in seconds you have a result. 
With the Reader application, you have to open it, select add, and then select 
scanner. By the time I do that, I could have already had the scan done.

"You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon

young."

I also updated. As Richard said, when you select add, you are asked to give 
permission to the camera. Those of us who bought the VoiceDream apps as seprate 
apps had gotten a bad deal. We would have been better off had we waited, unless 
the developer plans to add premium features to the stand alone VoiceDream 
scanner. We shall wait and see!

with a price increase

Hi List,

I received a tweet tonight which was sent earlier today stating the Voice Dream 
Reader has a new update coming out tomorrow that will include the Voice Dream 
Scanner capabilities in Reader. The price will increase from $14.99 to $19.99 
USD. Reader is currently on sale for $9.99 which for those who don't have it is 
a great price especially considering that scanning will be included in it after 
the update. I don't know when the $9.99 sale price expires but I just checked 
the App Store and that price was still available. If you're interested in 
getting this app, I'd recommend you do it now.

RE: Voice Dream Reader being updated Sunday to include Voice Dream Scanner with a price increase

2021-01-10 Thread Richard Turner
Mike, and others,
If you don’t have Reader, and you like to read, get reader and at least in the 
United States, join bookshare.
For $50 per year, you get all the books you can read and then some.
They often have books available the day they land in the bookstores.

It is my primary book reading tool, though also BARD from the National Library 
Service for the Blind when I want human read audio and they are getting 
commercial audio books much faster into their collection, which means buying 
fewer audio books from Libro.fm or Audible.

But for any electronic documents in most all formats, Voice Dream Reader is the 
best!

Voice Dream Reader is primarily a electronic document reader that is fantastic! 
 It works great with Bookshare or any non-DRM ePub books, word documents, html, 
plain text, pdf, etc.
If it is still $9.99, get it.
If it is already $1999, and you use Bookshare, or other documents, get it 
anyway.

Hi List,

 

I received a tweet tonight which was sent earlier today stating the Voice Dream 
Reader has a new update coming out tomorrow that will include the Voice Dream 
Scanner capabilities in Reader. The price will increase from $14.99 to $19.99 
USD. Reader is currently on sale for $9.99 which for those who don't have it is 
a great price especially considering that scanning will be included in it after 
the update. I don't know when the $9.99 sale price expires but I just checked 
the App Store and that price was still available. If you're interested in 
getting this app, I'd recommend you do it now.

Also Mike,
Voice OCR is made by a young man in Canada who released it to the app store 
when he was about 15 or 16.  Left it lie there until he finished college, did a 
rewrite, and seems to have again left it alone.
It is good for some things, but the Voice dream products, Reader and Scanner 
and for me Writer, are great products that everyone should have.
Writer is for just that, writing.  It does TXT files and you can use markup 
language to then export the txt file to RTF or HTML for a formatted document.

Richard,

I currently have Voice OCR and Voice Dream Scanner.  Is Voice Dream Reader 
part of these or, do I need to get the Reader to have the complete package?

Stay safe and take care.  Mike.

The scanner will still be available.

Here again is Winston’s follow-up tweet:

Scanner is still a useful standalone app, for scanning something quickly and 
discard. And for creating accessible PDFs from paper documents or images for 
distribution. Scanning in Voice Dream Reader is meant to create documents 
primarily for use in the Reader app.

Hi List,



I received a tweet tonight which was sent earlier today stating the 
Voice Dream Reader has a new update coming out tomorrow that will include 
the Voice Dream Scanner capabilities in Reader. The price will increase from 
$14.99 to $19.99 USD. Reader is currently on sale for $9.99 which for those 
who don't have it is a great price especially considering that scanning will 
be included in it after the update. I don't know when the $9.99 sale price 
expires but I just checked the App Store and that price was still available. 
If you're interested in getting this app, I'd recommend you do it now.

Scanner with a price increase


  Hi List,

   

  I received a tweet tonight which was sent earlier today stating the Voice 
Dream Reader has a new update coming out tomorrow that will include the Voice 
Dream Scanner capabilities in Reader. The price will increase from $14.99 to 
$19.99 USD. Reader is currently on sale for $9.99 which for those who don't 
have it is a great price especially considering that scanning will be included 
in it after the update. I don't know when the $9.99 sale price expires but I 
just checked the App Store and that price was still available. If you're 
interested in getting this app, I'd recommend you do it now.

Re: Voice Dream Reader being updated Sunday to include Voice Dream Scanner with a price increase

2021-01-09 Thread Richard Turner
Thanks Alan, I should check twitter more often. There was a follow-up tweat 
that said:

Scanner is still a useful standalone app, for scanning something quickly and 
discard. And for creating accessible PDFs from paper documents or images for 
distribution. Scanning in Voice Dream Reader is meant to create documents 
primarily for use in the Reader app.


Richard

"You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon 
airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep 
space, that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was 
young."
"Why, what did she tell you?"
"I don't know, I didn't listen."

You may have to go to the shop tab and then restore purchases.

Perhaps you should write Winston directly and ask which voices do not allow for 
the extra sentence pause.

Re: voice dream reader

2020-08-26 Thread Judy Holloway
Hi. I use voice dream reader all the time. I purchased the James voice years ago, but lately that voice is not listed in my choices. I thought he was gone for good. How can I get the James voice back? I certainly would like to be able to use this voice again.
Thanks.

RE: voice dream reader

2020-08-26 Thread Richard Turner
There isn’t one particular voice that allows this.
I use Amy from Ivona as my primary voice.
I just sampled an iOS and an Acapella voice and they both honored the extra 
sentence pause.
Perhaps you should write Winston directly and ask which voices do not allow for 
the extra sentence pause.

Which voice do I need to get to be able to set the pause level after a sentence?

If we can't look at ourselves, and ask, why?  then where does the learning
