Re: Voice Dream Reader 4 is in the App Store

2016-04-08 Thread Wayne Merritt
Hi. In the last week, since I updated to Voice Dream 4.02, my library
syncing issues have been fixed. All my files are showing up and I have
downloaded the few voices which I have purchased before.

Re: Voice Dream Reader 4 is in the App Store

2016-04-01 Thread Mary Otten
Some of us have had problems with the voices screen in the new version of voice 
dream. That is, voiceover is not reading the right thing, or it's simply not 
finding the voice that we know we bought. That did not happen to me on the 
screen for English. It did happen on the screen for all, where I had to go to 
get my Russian voices. Others have reported no such issue. If you are having 
this particular problem, and you have access to cited help, ask them to help 
you. That is what I had to do. And it worked just fine.

Are you selecting them under manage my voices?
Do you have one set as preferred?
When you listen to a specific book/file, if you double tap on the audio 
settings button at the top of the screen, you can select a voice for that 
specific file.

Re: Voice Dream Reader 4 is in the App Store

2016-04-01 Thread Richard Turner

I have 2.4 GB available in iCloud.
I have 112 items in Voice Dream. 1 of those is an MP3 book that is 3.5 hours in 
length.
Many of my bookshare books are around 20 hours in VDR time at about 300 words 
per minute, which with the new voices I'll be increasing.
One of them is about 30 hours in VDR time.
I have a few Writer documents but they are all small.
So, the books really do not take a lot of space.
I have not purchased any extra iCloud space.

Sorry about that, I forgot about the audio file portion. I have no
audio files, only documents. Some of the documents are one or two
hours long, in VDR time, for whatever that's worth. I have about half
of my iCloud space left. I'm not sure if files and documents in iCloud
Drive use the same space as in iCloud, like for phone backups and
data. How much space would regular documents take up in iCloud Drive?
I have several articles, some reference material, books, and other
documents in Voice Dream Reader.

Do you have lots of audio files?
Do you have enough room in iCloud Drive?

Richard,
I looked in my settings and iCloud Drive is on, as well as the
VoiceDream toggle on the iCloud Drive screen. I saw in the app store
where there was a minor update to VDR, version 4.0.1, so I will get
that tonight. There were no fixes listed, other than telling people
that all features were free.

OK can I get some help up here please. I am having trouble with getting my 
voices to download again. I have four voices, and all I could get is Samantha 
to work or Alex not the ones that I bought. It says it's complete it wouldn't 
download them when I try to use them they're not in the list, what am I doing 
wrong? Please help, thanks and advance.

 Speaking of maybe dumb questions, I'd like to know if while 
downloading a voice, does one need to stay focused within Voice Dream, 
or can one be doing something else and the voice downloads itself in the 
background?

Is iCloud Drive on?
I have over 100 books and one is an mp3 book and it did not take very long.
If you have a lot of mp3 files, Winston actually does not recommend using 
iCloud sync because they take a lot of room and take a long time.

This may sound like an obvious question but here goes. I've updated to

iCloud. Do I need to keep my focus in the app, or will it do the
syncing in the background or if the phone is locked? I did these

"unavailable" by each filename. I'm thinking that I need to keep Voice

RE: Voice Dream Reader 4 is in the App Store

2016-03-31 Thread Alan Lemly
Anna,

I'm curious since I've not used iCloud much except for backup of my iPhone 6 
via the storage option. I checked all the listings under Settings, iCloud and 
found nothing listed as iCloud Sync. I'm wondering if it's time to turn more of 
this iCloud stuff on but I seem to recall some problems with it a while back 
which they've no doubt worked out by now. Is the iCloud Sync only available 
with iOS 9.x since I'm still running 8.3? Or maybe it's located under one of 
the other options such as iCloud Drive. I thought it would be a good idea to 
turn this on before upgrading my Voice Dream app.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Alan Lemly

Hi Mary,

It's probably a good idea to back up your libraries just in case, particularly 
the large one, since doing so won't hurt anything and may help if something 
goes wrong.

as for how having different libraries will work, What happens if you turn on 
iCloud sync is that all your books get saved in iCloud and downloaded to all 
devices on which you've turned on iCloud Sync. So if you turn it on on both 
devices, both devices will end up having all your books and saved reading 
positions.

HTH,
Anna

After you do the update, open VDR and double tap on cog wheel Settings: in 
there is the toggle to turn on iCloud sync. After that process is complete, 
it's back into Settings, Manage Voices, Shop to download again any previously 
purchased voices. Hope that helps. Harry

Re: Voice Dream Reader 4 is in the App Store

2016-03-31 Thread Christina C.
I could be wrong but I think the backup that Winston is referring to is not a 
full backup of your iDevice but to back up the actual voice Dream Reader 
Library File via the file sharing portion of iTunes. That way you have the file 
with your library rather than a iTunes backup of your entire phone.  I hope 
that makes sense and I could be wrong.

 Well, maybe it was just my luck, and you weren't playing with fire. The 
screwup that happened actually had nothing to do with the library. It had to do 
with the loss of voices I purchased and have never been able to successfully 
use again on my new phone.

I think there are separate instructions on the website for just backing up your

has not changed.

Thank you, for clarifying what will happen with my two different libraries. I 
thought that perhaps one might try to override the other one, which would be 
really bad in either case, but especially if the large one word to be the one 
to be overwritten. I was considering simply not upgrading my phone to the 
newest version, because there really aren't that many things on it, and some of 
them are unique. But I guess I will give it a go.

Subject: Voice Dream Reader 4 is in the App Store


Below I've copied the What's New from the app store for Voice Dream 
Reader.
Read it thoroughly before updating. Also, if you have Voice Dream Writer 
as well, there is an update for it to enable the improved Voices from 
Voice Dream.

Happy Reading.


'This is a massive update which improves just about every aspect of the 
app. We rewrote everything down to the very core to support these new 
features, which is why it's taken more than a year. Thanks for your 
patience.


All new features are free. We love our customers.

Your current library will be updated. We recommend that you backup your 
library using iTunes on a PC or Mac before installing this update. 
Detailed instructions can be found on our website under support.


Please write a 5-star review in the App Store. And buy an extra voice for 
fun. We'll be grateful.


A Beautiful New UI
- Grid view and cover images in the library.
- Improved library organization: filters, flags, and sort order.
- Visual appearance of the entire app uses the current color theme.
- Experimental rich text and image support for all documents.

New Reading Modes
- Finger reading. For beginners to read by at running a finger under each 
word.
- Pac-Man. Harvard and MIT developed speed-reading method for everyone to 
read at 2x speed with no loss of comprehension.
- Sentence mode which pauses at every sentence. Useful for beginning 
readers.

- Repeat document.
- Option to rewind to beginning of the last sentence when you pause.

New Voices
- Alex, free high quality voice in iOS 9.
- New premium child voices from Acapela in US, UK, and Australian 
English, US Spanish, and German.

- Acapela's new flagship German voice: Claudia.
- Emotive variations of Jeroen, Antoine, Margaux, Dimitris and Will.

Other New Features
- Set PDF margins to exclude text in header and footer.
- Up to 4X speed for recorded audio.
- Support for 3D Touch, split screen and Spotlight search.
- Safari extension to save Web pages and Web addresses.
- Evernote file attachments.
- Background download for files and voices.
- More accurate language detection.

Pro Features (requires in-app purchase for existing users)
- Your entire library, including folders, reading locations, bookmarks 
and annotations are synchronized across all your devices using iCloud 
Drive.

Hi Mary,

It's probably a good idea to back up your libraries just in case, particularly 
the large one, since doing so won't hurt anything and may help if something 
goes wrong.

as for how having different libraries will work, What happens if you turn on 
iCloud sync is that all your books get saved in iCloud and downloaded to all 
devices on which you've turned on iCloud Sync. So if you turn it on on both 
devices, both devices will end up having all your books and saved reading 
positions.

HTH,
Anna

Hi Harry,
I can't answer your question, since I have yet to take the plunge. But I do 
have a question for you, and for that matter for others. How many of you backed 
up your library to iTunes prior to installing the new version? I have lived 
dangerously with new versions by never following the advice to back up the 
library, because it involves iTunes, and also because my libraries on my 
devices are different. When I got this iPhone 6s last year, I did do a complete 
encrypted backup of my old phone on iTunes. And then I install that on my new 
phone, which resulted in a voice dream reader screwup. So I have no faith in 
iTunes backups. Still, I know this is a huge change in the library, and I have 
a very large library on my iPad mini. Still with all that, I am very reluctant 
to go the iTunes route again. I am also not sure how I'm going to merge these 
libraries, since some of the stuff on my iPhone is unique, PDF files downloaded 
from various places that are probably no longer accessible, because they were 
limited time downloads after purchasing.
Mary

complete. But when I downloaded the VDR app onto my iPad Air, it is not clear 
how to get my Library (which I can see is in my iCloud Drive) to appear within

RE: Voice Dream Reader 4 is in the App Store

2016-03-31 Thread Michelle Bernstein
Thank you, Richard, for posting all the information about the Voice Dream 
Reader update.  Just wanted to let everyone know that the file is 52.7 mg in 
case storage is an issue.  Good suggestion about showing support by purchasing 
an additional Voice Dream reader voice.  Regards, Michelle

BTW, Apple left a line in the update info in the app store that shouldn't have 
been there.  It reads "Pro Features (requires in-app purchase for existing 
users)".

I just verified with Winston, there are no paid features in the upgrade, they 
are all free.

If you want to show your appreciation for the new features, you could buy a new 
voice.

Enjoy,
Richard
