And, the Voice Dream team needs a lot of credit for working so quickly to sort 
out this issue with Bookshare.

 

Thanks Kishin and all.

I'm on iOS 15 and I can confirm that this works. Sounds like it was probably 
caused by Bookshare upgrading its website.

Voice Dream 4.34.5 fixes the download issue wiht Bookshare for iOS 16 according to one user

[Richard Turner]

 

For those running iOS 16, at this point, one person has reported that it
fixed his issues with an MP3 file as well as the download buttons on
Bookshare.

The Voice Dream staff has said it should fix that issue for everyone.  There
was a change in the URL due to the Bookshare web site changes.  At least,
that is what I understood from a message on the Voice-Dream list.

Folks, Voicedream support replied to an email a few hours after I sent it, 
saying, that their app works best with ios 17. So I bit the bullet and finally 
updated. Vdr works as it is supposed to. Siri seems to work nearly as well as 
in ios16. Voicedream problems were solved by updating from 16 to 17.5.1. Thanx

RE: Can't Add Bookshare Books to VoiceDream

[Richard Turner]

I just started a word file playing.

I paused and switched to mail.

I switched back to VDR and it picked up where I left off.

I did the same with an MP3 file.

It also picked up where I stopped it after switching to Mail…

 

Which phone and which iOS are you using?

 

I’m on the 13 pro iOS 17.5.

Folks, Voicedream support replied to an email a few hours after I sent it, 
saying, that their app works best with ios 17. So I bit the bullet and 
finally updated. Vdr works as it is supposed to. Siri seems to work nearly 
as well as in ios16. Voicedream problems were solved by updating from 16 to 
17.5.1. Thanx all for your encouragement and suggestions.

First, if this is what’s being done that’s wrong second to not put it in the release notes again is wrong. This is what Jonathan Mohsen was talking about when he said clear and concise release notes! Clearly this company has not learned a thing! Every other company that I have seen do this first of all supports at least the previous version of iOS if not, two versions back! Second, they are honest And upfront This company is not honest and transparent!!! Every day that goes by, it is more and more likely I will not ever again use their app!! This app had a Sterling reputation at one time and with all the little hidden things they pull it goes to crap! This is ridiculous. It’s one thing if that’s what you decide to do. It’s another thing to not disclose it entirely and it’s wrong . Dennis LongSent from my iPhone 15 Pro MaxOn May 21, 2024, at 5:01 AM, Arnold Schmidt  wrote:I remember that CC is using 16.x, I had suspected that that was the problem.  I think that is unfortunate that they start dropping features so soon for those who are using older ios's.

Re: Can't Add Bookshare Books to VoiceDream

This is very odd. I have never lost the download button. Perhaps everyone needs to specify which phone and iOS is being used. That might help the developers figure out what is happening, or if it is an Apple issue. I'm not a programmer, so all this is a mystery to me. I am using an iPhone 13 pro with iOS 17.4.1Richard, USA“Grandma always told us, “Be careful when you pray for patience.

RE: Can't Add Bookshare Books to VoiceDream

[Richard Turner]

Now, it not showing up in the updates list is very, very strange.

That would point to an Apple issue.

When I check for updates, I do a triple tap on the app store icon, then swipe 
to updates and double tap.  Then, touch where it says previously Updated and do 
a three finger swipe down to refresh the screen.

I have found that has been the only reliable way for me to get all updates 
available to show up consistently.

 

If Voice Dream doesn’t show up then, I think there is a bigger issue with your 
phone.

Re: Can't Add Bookshare Books to VoiceDream

[Richard Turner]

Well, to test this, I went and turned audio ducking on, but on or off, all audio books play just fine for me. So that may have nothing to do with your issue. But for me, not only do audio books play just fine, but the speed adjustment sticks. I wish I had a good suggestion for what else to try. Richard, USA“Grandma always told us, “Be careful when you pray for patience.

Based on someone else’s post, is audio ducking on?  If so, turn it off and see 
if it plays.

You say you are running 16.x. I wonder if version 17.x is needed to run the

Re: Can't Add Bookshare Books to VoiceDream

While I still have the download buttons when searching for Bookshare books, the audio speed adjustment is broken on my 13 Pro running iOS 17.4.1. I have reported this through the app. You all really should join the Voice-Dream list the company has started so everything is seen by the company as well as reporting through the Voice Dream app. voice-dream+subscr...@groups.ioRichard, USA“Grandma always told us, “Be careful when you pray for patience.

RE: Can't Add Bookshare Books to VoiceDream

[Cristóbal Muñoz]

One major bug that appears to have popped up is that the audio playback speed 
no matter how fast you set it, stays on the default speed. In otherwords, 
molasses. I tried playing different audiobooks and it’s the same no matter what 
file you play. 
Already wrote VDR support about it.

Re: Can't Add Bookshare Books to VoiceDream

[Arnold Schmidt]

I think I remember that some of those who are having this no download button  problem say they can download from Bookshare's web site, just not into Voice Dream directly. If this be the case for you, there should be a download button if you look up a book on the site. If so, download it, then go into voice dream, tap the add button, and file browser will be one of the choices. Import books that way until this situation gets fixed.  If you choose this method, don't forget to open files and delete the book once you know it is in voice dream. You say you are running 16.x. I wonder if version 17.x is needed to run the latest voice dream? If so, this is unfortunate! Arnold Schmidt Sent from  Arnold's  iPhone S E 3On May 6, 2024, at 12:13 PM, CC  wrote:Book share invoice change subscriptions are up-to-date.

Richard,
Contacting them through the app does provide system information. However, since 
contacting contacting applause last week, I have not yet heard from them, which 
is typical.

Well, using iOS 17.4.1 on an iPhone 13 Pro, all books searched for from Bookshare have download next to them. Now, I have not logged out of Bookshare and logged baam in, which one or two people have said they did before the download option disappeared. But it has never been an issue here. Is there a way to send systesystem details to the developers? Does that happen when you send feedback through the app settings? I am not sure. But it is odd that this is happening for some and not others. Richard, USA“Grandma always told us, “Be careful when you pray for patience.

Book share invoice change subscriptions are up-to-date. I'm running 16.7.2 
on an older model iPhone. Since May 1, 2024 no download buttons appear when 
I search book share results. I am able to download from CELA. Applause 
support sent a message on Saturday asking if it occurred with all books in 
the book share library. I told them that yes it did. No downloads. I use VD 
for hours daily and hope for a solution soon.

Re: Can't Add Bookshare Books to VoiceDream

[Richard Turner]

Well, I have not logged out of my account in Voice Dream, and when looking at 
my download history,  there was only one book that didn't have a download 
button following the title. I should say, the word download on the others did 
not say it was a button, but double tapping it downloaded the book. In the one 
case where the word download did not appear, after double tapping on the title, 
the download option was at the top of the book details screen. 
I'm not going to log out just to see if I can break it on my phone, but perhaps 
that is the issue?

RE: Can't Add Bookshare Books to VoiceDream

['john riehl' via VIPhone]

I can confirm this issue. I have an active Bookshare account. When I go into my 
Download history as an option for downloading books into VDR the Download 
button does not appear after each book as it used to. All that you see is a 
list of book titles with no way to perform an action on them.

Re: Can't Add Bookshare Books to VoiceDream

[Kelby Carlson]

Completely uninstalling and reinstalling the app did fix one of the bugs I was 
encountering, but I still cannot add anything from Bookshare. I ameanow 
actually not even able to log in and out of my account; my download history 
reflects that I am logged in, but my settings in content sources don't show my 
account or let me log in or out.

Is your subscription with Bookshare up to date?
I accidentally let mine expire, and that is how things looked to me if I 
accessed it through Voice Dream.  Once I renewed my subscription, the download 
buttons reappeared.

I am running the most recent update.  I just checked and I have the download 
buttons.

Re: Can't Add Bookshare Books to VoiceDream

[Richard Turner]

I just searched for a book, and all the results had the download button and I 
downloaded a book. 
Since you were also having the issue of not being able to rewind, delete etc., 
perhaps you need to delete the app and install it again. If you have sync 
library using iCloud on, you should be able to get your books back.

Can't Add Bookshare Books to VoiceDream

[Kelby Carlson]

Starting today, I am no longer able to add Bookshare books to my Voice Dream 
library. I can still search for them, but none of them have "download" buttons. 
I can add other types of files to my library, including Bookshare books if I 
download them from the website.

I have updated to the latest version, as well as rebooted my phone, and logged 
out and back in to Bookshare. Voice Dream support has not yet written me back 
(in fact I don't know if I've ever received a response from them since Applause 
bought it.)
Has anyone else seen this problem?

RE: speech Central and Bookshare question

[Richard Turner]

My hopefully last point.

On February 11th, you said in part: “97% of users of my app on Apple devices 
aren't VoiceOver users and the same is for 89% of users on Android devices.”

Since you have to prove that you are print disabled to use Bookshare, and while 
a lot of the people who do use Bookshare are probably not blind or low-vision 
but have dyslexia, it could very well be that the bulk of your user base are 
liking your app because they don’t have to strain to read on their device, but 
also do not qualify, or have not decided to pay for the Bookshare service.

 

Have you done any studies/surveys to determine from where your users get their 
material?

 

Take care,

 

Richard, USA

Richard,

 

thanks for providing this additional information and for your encouragement

I did implement Bookshare functionality previously because quite a few people 
asked for it at that time. Certainly some of them did use the app with 
Bookshare, but based on the statistics it is likely that most didn't. 

 

The feature was available for 7 years until January 20th this year. I do agree

I am sorry, I have ignored this part of the feedback because that's actually 
possible, maybe some improvements in some specific use cases are still needed.

I do agree on your points though. This proves something that I have learned 
over the time - most of people suggesting the Bookshare support aren't actually 
interested in using the app as they have settled their choices and invested a 
lot of time into them. Nothing wrong from their side as those suggestions were 
made with good intentions, just it took me years and much of wasted work to

Richard,

 

I would like some feedback from your testing.

 

If you have some suggestion on things that could be improved for the VoiceOver 
users in general such feedback is implemented usually within one week. Most 
recent example is that one user has suggested today that he doesn't like the 
position of VoiceOver cursor in the text after the app reads the text and I 
have changed the scrolling default for VoiceOver users so that the current 
paragraph is scrolled to the top so VoiceOver would read that paragraph first 
(that was possible to manually set before but honestly if someone figured that 
out he was a real expert in accessibility). The example from few weeks before 
is that user has suggested that the player in the new version can't be easily 
dismissed and it was improved immediately so that it can be dismissed with the 
double finger Z gesture. I did note that you had a problem with skip 
forward/rewind buttons and I believe that this is fixed too (but this problem 
wasn't particularly related to VoiceOver).

 

Even if you don't expect to use the app there are many people that do and your 
suggestions will help them to have a better experience.

 

Regarding the Bookshare support I would like your honest opinion if such 
support existed whether you would consider my app for your personal use / 
recommend it as one of valid options for such a use case. I like to stand 
firmly with my promises so I can't promise anything yet, but I do reevaluate 
this and it may be possible to have such supp

Richard,

 

I would like some feedback from your testing.

 

If you have some suggestion on things that could be improved for the VoiceOver 
users in general such feedback is implemented usually within one week. Most 
recent example is that one user has suggested today that he doesn't like the 
position of VoiceOver cursor in the text after the app reads the text and I 
have changed the scrolling default for VoiceOver users so that the current 
paragraph is scrolled to the top so VoiceOver would read that paragraph first 
(that was possible to manually set before but honestly if someone figured that 
out he was a real expert in accessibility). The example from few weeks before 
is that user has suggested that the player in the new version can't be easily 
dismissed and it was improved immediately so that it can be dismissed with the 
double finger Z gesture. I did note that you had a problem with skip 
forward/rewind buttons and I believe that this is fixed too (but this problem 
wasn't particularly related to VoiceOver).

 

Even if you don't expect to use the app there are many people that do and your 
suggestions will help them to have a better experience.

 

Regarding the Bookshare support I would like your honest opinion if such 
support existed whether you would consider my app for your personal use / 
recommend it as one of valid options for such a use case. I like to stand 
firmly with my promises so I can't promise anything yet, but I do reevaluate 
this and it may be possible to have such support later this year.

[Richard Turner]

Thanks Greg.

After going through too many hoops, I got a book in ePub format into Speech 
Central.

 

I will not do that again until direct downloading from Bookshare.org is put 
into the app.

 

I also find the app continually dumping me out of the app when I try to skip 
forward 60 seconds, or sometimes when double tapping on the next button.

 

I wish Ivan would implement navigating by headings at the very least.

 

This app may be fine if you have some vision, but I won’t be bothering with it 
again until and unless direct download at least is added back in.

 

I download way more than 10 things a month.

 

Greg, thanks again for your help.

speech Central and Bookshare question

I just tried downloading a book from Bookshare.org on my  iPad Mini 6.

It downloaded through Edge (my browser of choice) just fine.

I cannot figure out a way to get it into the Speech Central app.

 

It doesn't seem to see it.

Does it have to be unzipped?  What exactly should one do to get it into the
Books and articles section of Speech Central?

 

Confusedly,

You can also open up the audio settings and change your default speed.

Subject: BARD 2.0 is in the app store

I checked for app updates and was shocked to find BARD 2.0 is already in the 
app store.

I think the new system works great.

The search is at the top and searching for an author seems to get just that 
author and not any combination of the first and last name, etc.

 

Here is what the update says:

Version 2.0 includes a number of new features, including in-app search 
capabilities: -Search inputs are more intuitive. Author search supports First 
Name, Last Name format; Last Name, First Name; and Last Name only. Quotation 
marks are no longer required. For example, input “Mary Clark” (without 
quotations) to find all the Mary Higgins Clark titles. -Keyword search supports 
searching all indexed metadata and can help users looking for multiple 
criteria. For example, to find a Terri Pratchett book narrated by Nick DePinto, 
a user can simply input “dePinto Terri“ (without quotations). -After a user 
inputs a search, they can amend the search type,

Re: Changing Speed of a Bookshare Audio Book

[Richard Turner]

Near the top of the screen, find the audio settings button and flick up with one finger and or down, to adjust the speed by 20 words per minute, roughly.I think up is slower and down is faster.You can also open up the audio settings and change your default speed.Richard“What we think or what we know or what we believe is in the end of little consequence.

I checked for app updates and was shocked to find BARD 2.0 is already in the 
app store.

I think the new system works great.

The search is at the top and searching for an author seems to get just that 
author and not any combination of the first and last name, etc.

 

Here is what the update says:

Version 2.0 includes a number of new features, including in-app search 
capabilities: -Search inputs are more intuitive. Author search supports First 
Name, Last Name format; Last Name, First Name; and Last Name only. Quotation 
marks are no longer required. For example, input “Mary Clark” (without 
quotations) to find all the Mary Higgins Clark titles. -Keyword search supports 
searching all indexed metadata and can help users looking for multiple 
criteria. For example, to find a Terri Pratchett book narrated by Nick DePinto, 
a user can simply input “dePinto Terri“ (without quotations). -After a user 
inputs a search, they can amend the search type, the inputted term itself, or 
the format (audio or braille), and sort results alphabetically by author, 
title, or latest publication date. -In-app search now includes NLS Music 
collection holdings, allowing users to access the variety of musical 
appreciation and biography books, scores, and music instructional titles.  
-Users can switch between audio and braille searches. For example, input “learn 
guitar” (without quotation marks) with the search defaults to find audio 
instructional titles, then select the braille format and the search button 
again to find braille titles. Version 2.0 also includes enhancements to 
searching and sorting Bookshelf and Get Books listings. Bug fixes include: 
-Rewind controls skipping further than intended -Sideloading books  
-Downloading and reading non-ASCII foreign language book titles

Is there a way to speed up the audio of a Bookshare audio book?

That is not the audio book.
At least, the two audio books I have downloaded say DAISY 3 audio book.

RE: Trouble with VoiceDream/Bookshare

[Richard Turner]

That usually means it hasn't fully downloaded.

With their audio books, they take a long time to download.
Don't close that screen until it says download complete.  That can be 5 to 10 
minutes or more depending on how long the book is.

If the manual is still waiting, it could be something else.
Try closing Voice Dream and all other apps out of the app switcher.

Then, open Voice Dream again and see where things are.
You may have to download them again.

Hello,

Lately when I choose a bookfrom Bookshare and if it’s labeled an audio file it 
doesn’t load into VD and just sits in my list of books telling me that it’s not

When your braille display, (Mantis Q40), limits you on .BRF file size.  I hear 
that will be rectified.  There are no limits on the Orbit Readers.

Re: Bookshare experience

[Joshua Hendrickson]

It is voice dream reader, not voice stream reader.  Bookshare is
awesome.  I don't use it much on my iPhone, but the voice dream reader
app is the way to go for the iPhone.  You can purchase so many very
cool high quality voices to listen to your books.  I haven't quite
finished a historical romance British book and I am using Neospeech
Bridget to read the book.  She does a great job.  It is worth the
money.

RE: Bookshare experience

[Dean Martineau]

It really depends on your equipment. If I read in braille, I prefer to download 
books into my HIMS device, which has a DAISY player. I play them in DAISY but 
they are displayed in braille thanks to the device's translation capability. I 
can then take advantage of DAISY navigation To skip around the book. Otherwise, 
What you have been told is quite workable.

RE: Bookshare experience

[danamarieleet]

I actually use book share constantly.  I use voice stream reader, and sometimes 
I will use audio and sometimes braille.  You are able to use  voice stream 
reader as well to read your books in braille, so the Daisy books downloaded on 
voice stream reader are able to be read using our braille displays with the ap.
I love reading and by the way for anyone who would be interested.
I have a Christian fiction book club on club house and also a book club that is 
for women.

for Jed, about Audio books, was re: Bookshare Experience

[Richard Turner]

I started a separate thread since this is no longer about Bookshare.



Jed, bookshare does not provide human narrated books.



If you only want books that are in the public domain there are several free 
resources out there.  I think if you search for free audio books, you will 
probably find several.



If you want newer books, then The National Library Service, BARD Download is 
the best.  They are getting more commercially recorded books and so it doesn't 
take so many months or years to get a newer audio book wit human narration.



Otherwise, you have to buy them.

Libro.fm www.libro.fm<http://www.libro.fm> is one good source.  They allow you 
to download books as mp3 files so you can play them on anything.



Audible, www.audible.com<http://www.audible.com> is another but you can only 
use the audible app.  They have some books that are exclusive to them so 
Libro.fm cannot get those titles.



HTH,

Richard

Bookshare is great.  Yes, it costs $50 per year, and you keep what you

can always go back and redownload it.  The books are available in a number

Voice Dream does have Joey.
It is under the Ivona voices.

There is no Nathan.  Which company makes the Nathan voice?

Perhaps requesting it be added by the developer?

I wish Voice Dream Reader had Nathan, and Joey which Dolphin Easy Reader has 
available. I too read with Voice Dream’s James, but ocasionally I switch to 
another voice, depending on the type of book being read, the voice that fits it.

I just sampled Joey, and he sounds pretty good.
I'm not sure it is $4.99 better than James which I already have.

Re: Bookshare experience

I love Bookshare for so many reasons I can't begin to number them. If they 
doubled the annual subscription, I'd still pay it. I'm amazed you haven’t been 
using it already! ,you’ll absolutely love it! You can read using a voice or 
using a braille display, and the braille is good. Go for it! Then let us all 
know how great it is.

RE: Bookshare experience

[Richard Turner]

Hi,
Bookshare doesn't have an app as such.
Voice Dream Reader is 1000% accessible.  
These are basically text files; read by a speech synthesizer through the app of 
your choice; or downloadable as BRF files to read on a braille display.
The most common format is DAISY Text but you can get DAISY MP3 which is a 
synthesized voice reading the book that is ported to an MP3 file.  Not my 
personal choice.

You can also use the free Dolphin Easy Reader but I find it not as functional, 
but many people love it.  You get a default voice; I think maybe your own 
VoiceOver voice, and you can buy voices for it as well.

The main reason Bookshare can get books so quickly is that they are text based, 
so no need to wait for someone to record them.

$50 a year is beyond worth it.
I'd spend many times that if I was having to buy them from Kindle.

Hey guys,

So I'm guessing their app is pretty accessible?  I've never used book share, so 
curious how it works.  Are these audio books, in the sense they are narrated or 
no.

I love books year I love being able to get books that I have difficulty finding 
in other places.
My favorite voice at this time is James. I also love voice stream and have also 
used easy reader to get books. It’s a wonderful service even when you have to 
pay for the service.
Take care and enjoy reading.

Re: Bookshare experience

[Jed Barton]

Hey guys,

So I'm guessing their app is pretty accessible?  I've never used book
share, so curious how it works.  Are these audio books, in the sense
they are narrated or no.

RE: Bookshare experience

The higher quality voices from Ivona give the closest to human like speech in 
my opinion.
I like British accents, so I use Amy from iVona.

RE: Bookshare experience

[Richard Turner]

I've been a Bookshare member since it started.
As mentioned, you can keep the books, or download them again at any time.

They often have books provided directly by the publisher on the same day the 
books become available to print readers in the book stores.  Revolutionary for 
blind or low-vision readers who had to wait as much as a year or two to get 
books in an accessible format.

You can use Voice Dream Reader with a braille display; but where it shines 
beyond all other apps is the higher quality voices and the ease of navigating, 
highlighting text, placing bookmarks, even writing notes to go with your 
highlight or bookmark.
It can be a bit overwhelming at first, but read the manual/user guide if you 
choose to get it.  I believe it is now $19.99 which includes Voice Dream 
Scanner (one of the best OCR apps on the iPhone) and 2 higher quality voices.

It never looses your place.

You can also buy extra voices at $4.99 each.  


Here is the App store description of Voice Dream Reader:

it remembers where you left off in your file.  There is a Voice Dream Suite 
that gets all three apps and 2 voices for $29.99.

I save it to dropbox and then I open it up with my braille display or

been almost a thousand dollars? Now I’ve got a year’s membership thank God, but

which yes I love Bookshare for the availability of books that sometimes don’t

Re: Bookshare experience

[CHELA Robles]

Hello I am a volunteer for the Bookshare site that you mentioned and as a user 
myself I prefer the VRF format so that way I can read it on my braille display 
I save it to dropbox and then I open it up with my braille display or 
alternatively I download it to my computer and open it up with my braille 
display by saving it directly to my braille display which has a SD card. I also 
like reading via the MP3 as well which is an option there’s also a daisy option 
and I think $50 is worth it in the US. It is a shame that NLS and Bookshare 
can’t collaborate in Mexico but hopefully they will someday.

RE: Bookshare experience

[Amy Ruell]

Hello,
Bookshare is great!
You can read books on a Braille display if you download the brf file and can 
listen to them with Voice Dram Reader if you choose the DAISY version. You can 
keep the books once downloaded and the selection is great. They have all of the 
latest NY Ties best sellers as well as many other kinds of publications not 
found elsewhere in accessible formats.

RE: Adding to VoiceDreamReader From Bookshare?

[Richard Turner]

If you changed it for Bookshare, you only need to change it in Voice Dream 
Reader.
Open Voice Dream Reader.
At the bottom right, open Settings.
Select Content Sources.
ON Bookshare, double tap on settings, and update your account information with 
the new password.
That should solve it.



Richard, in the U.S.

"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."

RE: Big problem with bookshare search and the new voice dream reader

[Alan Lemly]

Hi Mary,

I understand. After I initiate the search, focus is still on the search box but 
the on screen keyboard is no longer present. The list of hits are below the 
search box and I access them by single finger swiping right once. I guess 
Winston must have changed the presentation after a search.

Glad you figured it out.

Hi Alan,
I can t remember if I posted this here or not, since I ve posted my original in 
various places. It turns out that what s happening on my iPhone XR is that 
while the results are being announced, 11 results, 25 results, whatever, the 
search box is still on the screen. So if I dismiss the search box, then I see 
the results. I have never had to do that before. Are others having to do that? 
Is this a new thing?

Re: Big problem with bookshare search and the new voice dream reader

[Mary Otten]

Hi richard,
Well, I had tried flicking, but I guess I had to be in a different place. 
Because I did go back into the app and found results after I saw your message. 
It’s kind of weird. I think you should be able to find this with explore, or 
just get rid of the search box and make it like it used to be maybe. I suppose 
there are advantages though, but I think it should be available with the 
explore, not having to flipck from the certain right place on the screen.
Mary

Re: Big problem with bookshare search and the new voice dream reader

[Richard Turner]

Mary, are you getting tricked by the layout?Are you finding just a dismiss 
action button or something like t?If you flick right with one finger from the 
search box, you should come to the search results, but you have to keep 
flicking. For me, at least, they do not show up the way they used to meaning, 
you cannot touch midway down the screen and find any results.Does that help?

Re: Big problem with bookshare search and the new voice dream reader

[Mary Otten]

Hi Alan,
I can’t remember if I posted this here or not, since I’ve posted my original in 
various places. It turns out that what’s happening on my iPhone XR is that 
while the results are being announced, 11 results, 25 results, whatever, the 
search box is still on the screen. So if I dismiss the search box, then I see 
the results. I have never had to do that before. Are others having to do that? 
Is this a new thing?
