Voice dream reader update

2021-12-16 Thread Richard Turner
For those using Voice Dream Reader, the updates to the stand-alone scanner app 
have now ben incorporated into Voice Dream Reader. Here is the blurb from the 
app store:
Voice Dream Reader, Today, - Voice Dream can now recognize multi-column 
documents and order the text correctly. Also, Chinese is now supported for the 
built-in OCR Scanner. To recognize Chinese, set it explicitly in settings 
rather than using “Auto-Detect”. - Fix an issue with loading Web content 
(Safari, Instapaper, Pocket) introduced in iOS 15.1. - Minor enhancements and 
bug fixes., Version 4.14.0 •

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

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

2021-01-11 Thread Richard Turner
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 
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

As much as I don't scan things. I am not going to be upset about
waiting a few extra seconds. So I will take this added feature in
voice dream. It's the only app by the devs over there I have.

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.

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!

Voice Dream Reader update is out, version 4.12 includes scanning

2021-01-10 Thread Richard Turner
As mentioned by Alan, the update is out. I updated, and when you select add, 
then scanner, you have to give it permission to use the camera. It has the same 
settings as Voice Dream Scanner, but it does not import those settings so if 
the default is not what you want, you can change them right there. 
It scans to whatever folder you have open, and defaults to PDF, which is 
completely accessible.

Voice dream reader update successful

2018-10-20 Thread Mary Otten
Since I have had some fairly serious disappointments with certain upgrades of 
this app in the past, I thought I would report that I finally bit the bullet 
and updated to the latest version just now. Apparently, everything went well. I 
had to do it, because when my new iPhone comes next week, it’s going to install 
the latest version, which would not be compatible with my current library. So 
it looks like all’s well that ends well.

Re: Latest Voice Dream Reader update seems to have fixed my library issue!

2018-09-18 Thread englishrider91
Lol don't tempt me. If I left it alone, it eventually fixed itself after a 
minute, but it seems to be consistantly happening when I leave the phone alone 
for a bit and then try to find the pause button by touch.


Thanks,
Ari

I really wonder if this is a ram issue on older devices. My iPad mini two is 
well. I saw an article recently referring to it as having only one gigabyte of 
RAM. I can’t verify that of course. If that’s true, I suppose it makes sense 
that with the slower processor and limited ram, once you get into big files, 
trouble occurs. I couldn’t even synch my library with the iPad just sitting 
idol. It would just lock up and die basically. I wonder if that same thing 
isn’t happening with your phone. I don’t remember what chip is in your phone as

 I'm currently waiting with bated breath for something to go drastically

 totally have been fixed! I have a huge library, and VDR is always syncing 
 things, and when it's doing this, the app often locks up to the point 
 where it, along with VO, are totally unresponsive, necessitating closing 
 the app in the app switcher and praying that I have better luck upon

 I updated VDR just now and opened it, it popped up a dialogue letting me 
 know that it was updating my library. When that was finished, I flicked

 We'll see how things go over the next few days.

Awesome! And I think you were one who had a library that’s even bigger than 
mine. So maybe I should just bite the bullet, pray, light some incense or 
candles or whatever, and do the upgrade. Smile.

This is interesting. What device or devices do you have with this big library? 
I have an iPhone 7 Plus. I also have an old iPad Mini too. But I totally 
disconnected that from anything to do with iCloud and vdr.. So my iPhone 
library is the big one that is kept up-to-date. I have a few books on the iPad. 
But I have little faith that my old old iPad would manage sinking this big 
library, even with the new version. I’m pretty sure that this iPad needs to be 
totally decommissioned, even though it seems a little bit snappier with the new 
iOS 12. It’s still bogs down if you get into a book on Voice Dream and start 
navigating by headings.

Latest Voice Dream Reader update seems to have fixed my library issue!

2018-09-18 Thread englishrider91
Hello, everyone,


I'm currently waiting with bated breath for something to go drastically wrong, 
but it looks like my issues with Voice Dream Reader freezing up totally have 
been fixed! I have a huge library, and VDR is always syncing things, and when 
it's doing this, the app often locks up to the point where it, along with VO, 
are totally unresponsive, necessitating closing the app in the app switcher and 
praying that I have better luck upon relaunching it. This seems to have been 
fixed with the latest update. When I updated VDR just now and opened it, it 
popped up a dialogue letting me know that it was updating my library. When that 
was finished, I flicked around like mad, trying to get it to crash, but 
nothing. I even opened a book and started reading it, then paused it and went 
back to the library; before, something like that would have made it crash for 
me as it started syncing my updated position, but that no longer seems to be 
the case. We'll see how things go over the next few days.


Thanks,
Ari

Re: Voice dream reader update

2018-09-18 Thread Dana Leet


Hello everyone, I wanted to mention one thing I noticed with the new update a 
voice dream reader. Today, I was searching for a book in my collection, and it 
did that correctly, but when I hit cancel, it did not bring me back to my main 
library. The only way I ended up fixing it, was going into the options where 
you can sort your books, and I had to select by add date again in order for it 
to go back to Slette me see all of my books. Didn’t know if anyone else was 
ever experiencing this but thought I would let you know what I had to do to fix 
it.

Deleting works fine, but there is one additional step which was introduced, 
probably by accident, but it is perfectly accessible. Here is how it works:


After you activate the "master delete" as I like to call it at the top, one 
swipe to the left of Refresh, swipe to your book title, then left once to 
delete. Double tap it and then another delete button shows up and you again 
swipe left once to get to it, double tap it and the book will be deleted.
I think at one point for a short time a delete option was available on the 
rotor and I think Audible really should put delete and other actions such as 
Book Details, Mark as Finished and so on in the rotor for Voiceover users, 
it would be a much better and more consistent experience. But as I said, it

If I were her, I wouldn't update either unless it was clear there was

As far as accessibility goes, yes, Voice Dream is one of the best.
The fact that Mary didn't dump the app completely after the second
time of having to rebuild a huge library says a lot for how good Voice
Dream is compared to all other apps of its kind.

No, I must disagree there. Updates, especially for app makers like
Voice Dream, LLC, who strive to make accessible apps, will not usually
break accessibility, because they have good Beta testers, and probably
test the updates with VoiceOver themselves. Please try not to spread
fear, uncertainty, and doubt about updating most apps. Sure, apps like
Messenger have had major problems in the past, but that's because of
arrogant Facebook not taking accessibility seriously, in my opinion. .

I am not speaking in terms of accessibility only. Frequently when updating an 
app, a feature that worked perfectly fine will be gone or messed up. For 
example, after the last VDR update the "go to page" button disappeared for no 
reason and never came back, and VDR now drains the battery significantly in the 
background even when not reading a book, requiring it to be closed completely 
when not in use. I have reported these bugs, and for doing so I was told never 
to contact the developer again. (Before anyone asks, I did try a complete 
reinstall with no change.)

This is not exclusive to VDR, so I'm not targeting it specifically. This has 
happened with almost every app I frequently use at some point, not to mention 
that major iOS updates are also likely to introduce bugs, accessibility and 
otherwise.

Re: Voice dream reader update

2018-09-17 Thread Christopher Chaltain
I agree with Devin and Sieghard. I do have a bit of apprehension every 
time an app or an application gets updated, wondering if accessibility 
will be impacted or not, but I don't think this happens frequently or 
even more often then not, at least not across all apps and applications. 
Sure Facebook has a reputation and the screen reader developers are 
always working to keep up with iTunes, but there are definitely apps out 
there where the developers are committed to accessibility or the 
interface is just so clean and well designed. Sure we remember every 
time we update an app and accessibility takes a step backwards, but we 
don't always remember all of the times when the upgrade went smoothly 
and just gave us access to a handful of new useful features.

I too have used VDR in the background, even while reading, with no greater 
battery drain than before. If the device is locked, and playing in the 
background, there is extremely little battery drain. I've listened for more 
hours than I care to admit and lost only a couple percent.
I think that issue is unique to very few devices.

RE: Voice dream reader update

2018-09-17 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Deleting works fine, but there is one additional step which was introduced, 
probably by accident, but it is perfectly accessible. Here is how it works:

After you activate the "master delete" as I like to call it at the top, one 
swipe to the left of Refresh, swipe to your book title, then left once to 
delete. Double tap it and then another delete button shows up and you again 
swipe left once to get to it, double tap it and the book will be deleted.
I think at one point for a short time a delete option was available on the 
rotor and I think Audible really should put delete and other actions such as 
Book Details, Mark as Finished and so on in the rotor for Voiceover users, it 
would be a much better and more consistent experience. But as I said, it still 
works.

fact that Mary didn't dump the app completely after the second time of 
having to rebuild a huge library says a lot for how good Voice Dream is 
compared to all other apps of its kind.

No, I must disagree there. Updates, especially for app makers like Voice 
Dream, LLC, who strive to make accessible apps, will not usually break 
accessibility, because they have good Beta testers, and probably test the 
updates with VoiceOver themselves. Please try not to spread fear, 
uncertainty, and doubt about updating most apps. Sure, apps like Messenger 
have had major problems in the past, but that's because of arrogant 
Facebook not taking accessibility seriously, in my opinion. .

I see that there is a Voice Dream reader update out which says it has 
compatibility with iOS 12. The only things mentioned in the notes are 
Siri shortcuts and reading list. And the specific thing about Siri 
shortcuts relates to reading list. So if you don’t care about reading 
list which I don’t, why update? Is there anything in here that isn’t 
mentioned that makes it worthwhile to take a chance?

2018-09-17 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
I agree with Mary's and Richard's assessment, but Devin is also correct in 
saying that the statement " Updates are just as likely to break the app as 
improve it" is a bit broad. Typically when the word "break" is used it refers 
to accessibility and definitely there are a lot of companies and developers who 
have prooven that accessibility is important and their apps have continued to 
be just fine for years. Sonos is one example, Audible has been good for many 
years and there are lots of others.

Richard, you nailed it. I continue to use  VDR because it’s the best thing out 
there as far as I am concerned. But I am not at all anxious to have to rebuild 
this library yet again. Smile. So if there are other features other than the 
ones mentioned in the release notes on the App Store, I’m interested to know 
what those are. Or do I have to have this update when I go to iOS 12? It didn’t 
say that. So I assume I’m going to stick with what I have and can still upgrade 
to the new iOS.

RE: Voice dream reader update

2018-09-17 Thread Richard Turner
Mary's experience has nothing to do with accessibility.
She has an extremely large library, and twice, the organizational structure was 
corrupted and she had to build it again from scratch, twice.  I think she may 
have also lost some files and had to track them down again.
So, I can understand her reluctance to update it for features she is not 
interested in.
If I were her, I wouldn't update either unless it was clear there was something 
else worth updating for or Winston could assure her that her library will not 
get screwed up yet again.

As far as accessibility goes, yes, Voice Dream is one of the best.  The fact 
that Mary didn't dump the app completely after the second time of having to 
rebuild a huge library says a lot for how good Voice Dream is compared to all 
other apps of its kind.

Re: Voice dream reader update

If the update is free, why not?
Updates usually contain under the hood improvements and bug fixes.

I see that there is a Voice Dream reader update out which says it has 
compatibility with iOS 12. The only things mentioned in the notes are Siri 
shortcuts and reading list. And the specific thing about Siri shortcuts 
relates to reading list. So if you don’t care about reading list which I don’t, 
why update? Is there anything in here that isn’t mentioned that makes it 
worthwhile to take a chance?

Voice dream reader update, I spoke too soon

2017-10-07 Thread Mary Otten
I saw that update yesterday and double tapped on update. I assumed it had 
updated. But there were problems yesterday off and on with the iTunes Store at 
Cetera, and I must've tried the update during one of those times. Because when 
I went into updates today, I saw a whole bunch of updates that I thought I had 
already done, including voice dream reader. So my report about no problems does 
not relate to yesterday's update. And given what was earlier reported, I am not 
updating. My history with this application is such that I am not taking a 
chance on it.

Voice dream reader update and a problem

2016-11-01 Thread Mary Otten
There was a voice dream reader update on the App Store this morning, so I 
updated it. I just open the app, only to be told that iCloud was not available. 
That seems strange, since iCloud Drive is on my phone and I can see things on 
it. So I opened up Voice Dream again, and now the document which has the what's 
new for this update is showing as not available with a button next to it that 
says error unable to load file. It seems like voice dream reader has gone 
nothing but downhill ever since they made that big update several months ago. 
This new version is supposed to have improvements for iCloud drive as well as 
other unspecified VoiceOver enhancements or improvement. I was going to read 
that little file which is not available in order to find out what were these 
improvements. Has anyone had this problem?

Re: New Voice Dream Reader Update Released Today

2016-10-01 Thread Richard Turner

Note, Winston said nothing about iCloud in the What's New for version 4.0.5. 
Here is the What's New for 4.0.5:
What's New

Version 4.0.5

Updated for iOS 10.

Minor bug fixes and enhancements.

Great news! iOS 10 comes with many free, high quality TTS voices, including 
Siri voices. Go to iOS Settings, General, Accessibility, Speech, and Voices. 
Select the language you want to use, and you'll see all the available voices. 
The enhanced version of a voice is higher in audio quality, but note that it 
uses a lot more storage. After download is complete, come back to Voice Dream 
Reader. Go to the voice selection screen and tap on the Refresh button at the 
bottom. Newly downloaded iOS voices will be available for use.

RE: Voice Dream Reader update

2014-06-21 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Terrie,

 

Doing a Google search for “What is pocket download”, the first result is for 
the “Pocket” app on the app store. Other search results are for the Android 
version and various browser extensions. Below is the app store description of 
what Pocket does:

 

Pocket has been named one of the best apps for iPhone and iPad by the App Store.

 

Over 12 million people use Pocket to easily save articles, videos and more for 
later. With Pocket, all of your content goes to one place, so you can view it 
anytime, on any device. You don’t even need an Internet connection.

 

Don’t lose track of the interesting things you find by emailing yourself links 
or letting tabs pile up in your browser. Just save them to Pocket.

 

WHAT CAN I SAVE?

Save articles, videos, recipes, and webpages you find online or from your 
favorite apps.

 

VIEW EVERYWHERE, EVEN OFFLINE 

If it’s in Pocket, it’s on your phone, tablet or computer, even when you’re 
offline. Perfect for commutes, travel, and curling up on your couch.

 

BETTER VIEWING EXPERIENCE

See your saved items in a simple, easy-to-view layout that improves the viewing 
experience of any page. 

 

WORKS OFFLINE 

Access what you’ve saved offline. Set up Pocket to only download when connected 
to Wi-Fi to reduce data usage.

 

USE WITH YOUR FAVORITE APPS AND SITES

Whether you’re browsing online or on-the-go with your favorite apps, Pocket 
lets you save great content wherever you find it. After you’re done reading, 
send the articles and videos you love to another friend’s Pocket, or share to 
Facebook, Twitter, Evernote, or Email.

 

PERSONALIZED HIGHLIGHTS

Save as much as you want, Pocket will highlight the best and most relevant 
content in your list. 

 

POCKET PREMIUM

Upgrade anytime to Premium for a more powerful Pocket experience to get a 
Permanent Library for everything you save with Full-Text Search and Suggested 
Tags.

 

Pocket is available for Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, the Web, and any other 
phone or tablet. 

 

You can also save to Pocket with our Browser Extensions for Chrome, Safari, 
Firefox, and Internet Explorer.

Re: Latest voice dream reader update problems

2014-01-31 Thread Sandratomkins
Hi Brett and others,
So, if I understand you correctly, this is a bug that occurs with you as well 
when you use the iOS voices? This only started happening with the latest 
update, is that correct to? The simple fact is that apart from when I'm reading 
in Italian I only like Daniel's  voice on my phone. And I read mainly fiction, 
so, I don't like to speed through it preferring to contemplate as I go. All in 
all, I do hope this bug is fixed, but I am grateful to you, Brett, for letting 
me know that I'm not alone and that it is an actual bug.

All the best,
Sandy

 Hi, 
 
 Isaac is actually correct! I do have the app and don't use the iOS voices due 
 to the two issues outlined below. 
 
 Changing to your preferred thirdparty voice will correct these issues, plus 
 the thirdparty voices do allow you to read at much faster speeds. 
 
 Hope this helps, 
 Brett

 Hi,
 Previously I had no problems listening to books with voice dream with my
 headphones and controlling the pause and play via the button on the
 headphones. Unfortunately, after the most recent update, I now find that I
 have to press that button three times before the book stops playing. Plus,
 and this really aggravates, when I start the book up again using the same
 button, I find that the cursor is much further along in the book. It's
 almost as though the book is continued to read silently to itself. Is anyone
 else experiencing this? I am using Daniel the iOS voice to read with.
 
 Thanks for any info,

Re: Latest voice dream reader update problems

2014-01-31 Thread Brett
Hi, I am not sure when the iOS voices were introduced, weather it was the 
latest upgrade, or the one previous. Anyway, I remembered seeing the bugs you 
discribed so went and tested it again before replying. I can deffinetely 
conferm it here on the current version. 

Perhaps if we both drop a perlite note to the author, maybe he can rectify 
things in a future upgrade. 

Cheers, 
Brett.

 Hi Brett and others,
 So, if I understand you correctly, this is a bug that occurs with you as well 
 when you use the iOS voices? This only started happening with the latest 
 update, is that correct to? The simple fact is that apart from when I'm 
 reading in Italian I only like Daniel's  voice on my phone. And I read mainly 
 fiction, so, I don't like to speed through it preferring to contemplate as I 
 go. All in all, I do hope this bug is fixed, but I am grateful to you, Brett, 
 for letting me know that I'm not alone and that it is an actual bug.
 
 All the best,
 Sandy

 Hi,
 Previously I had no problems listening to books with voice dream with my
 headphones and controlling the pause and play via the button on the
 headphones. Unfortunately, after the most recent update, I now find that I
 have to press that button three times before the book stops playing. Plus,
 and this really aggravates, when I start the book up again using the same
 button, I find that the cursor is much further along in the book. It's
 almost as though the book is continued to read silently to itself. Is anyone
 else experiencing this? I am using Daniel the iOS voice to read with.

Re: Latest voice dream reader update problems

2014-01-30 Thread Brett
Hi, 

Isaac is actually correct! I do have the app and don't use the iOS voices due 
to the two issues outlined below. 

Changing to your preferred thirdparty voice will correct these issues, plus the 
thirdparty voices do allow you to read at much faster speeds. 

Hope this helps, 
Brett

RE: Latest voice dream reader update problems

2014-01-30 Thread Richard Turner
Hi Sandra,
I think Bret is onto something with the iOS voices.
But, I'd recommend you go to the horse's mouth and contact the developer
directly:
supp...@voicedream.com

He is very responsive and may have more to say about what is going on.

I have started using primarily the James voice and when I want a female
voice, Brigit.

HTH,
Richard

Subject: Latest voice dream reader update problems

Hi,
Previously I had no problems listening to books with voice dream with my
headphones and controlling the pause and play via the button on the
headphones. Unfortunately, after the most recent update, I now find that I
have to press that button three times before the book stops playing. Plus,
and this really aggravates, when I start the book up again using the same
button, I find that the cursor is much further along in the book. It's
almost as though the book is continued to read silently to itself. Is anyone
else experiencing this? I am using Daniel the iOS voice to read with.

Thanks for any info,
Sandy

Yup.  Downloaded and installed it a little while ago.  Couse the extra ios7
voices won't be there until the iOS upgrade.  Earlier in the day I could not
use DR because no voice was available so I suspect the app was being
enabled.  My thanks to the developer for such a classy to approach a tricky
situation.

Hi Christine,

If your phone is set to sync app with your computer you could try and
download it in iTunes, of course the sync may not work if it has not
downloaded in iTunes.

Apart from that Anna's recommendation is your best option, what is happening
just means you probably have a spotty WiFi connection. You can always try
somewhere else, e.g. if you have a friend or family member who has WiFi you
could try when you are connected there.

The download is 23.8 Mb which is on the larger side when it comes to apps.

I down loaded the update and didn't find the cool new features, so I wrote 
Winston at Voice Dream.  Here is his reply:

 Note function doesn't work with VoiceOver on. I'm working on that. This is 
 the very first release with annotation so I want to get some feedback first.
 
 To activate the sleep timer, double tap on the play/pause button but hold on 
 the second tap.
 
 Best,
 
 Winston.

 Winston,
 I just updated to 2.73, but none of the new features are showing up.
 Where is the notes function?
 Where is the sleep timer? 
 It says I am running 2.73.
 This is with VoiceOver on both my iPhone and iPod Touch 5th Gen.
 Thanks,
 
 
 Richard

voice dream reader update

2013-02-04 Thread Moop Curran
Hi,
I just wanted to let everybody know that there's a new voice dream reader 
update in the app store. In the what's new section in the app update screen, it 
mentions voiceover. I updated, and I really like it a lot so far.
