Re: Voice Dream Writer Review and Description
I have not read all the discussion here on viPhone about this app. This morning, on my stream I heard a brand new podcast from cool blind tech. It was an interview with Winston Chen, sorry if I misspelled, about voice dream reader and voice dream writer and the story behind it. It was a great listen and I was blown away by the developers dedication to make voice dream writer. Anyways, I am so excited about this new app and plan to purchase it.

First, let me say that I plan to do all my writing with this app from now on. It is simply the most powerful Word Processing app I've used on an iPhone. It will take some getting used to, but once you do, it is fantastic! Note, it does require iOS 8.1. It costs $9.99 and is available only in English in this first release. I recommend reading the help file that is included in the app. You can easily move or delete whole paragraphs or sentences. You can navigate your document by headings, paragraphs or sentences, of course also by word or character. It creates an outline as you go which is why it is then easy to navigate by those portions of text. It has a great spell checker that makes it incredibly easy to find and correct misspelled words. You can show or hide the outline with a gesture or with a toggle button on the screen. There are dedicated bluetooth keyboard commands. One of my favorite features is being able to set heading levels, bulleted lists, bold or italicize text and then export that to a word document so it maintains those formatting styles. Now, you can only open text files, not word files. But, if you do the bulk of your rough draft in Writer, then export it to Word .docx format to DropBox or example, you can then polish up your document on your computer and have your headings, bold, etc., maintained.. You can also export to Pages to then finish up on your Mac. I am not a Mac user so I cannot speak to how that works exactly. If you own Voice Dream Reader and update to version 3.40 of the Reader and run it once, all your voices from Voice Dream Reader will be available to you in Writer. I highly recommend this app! Here is the description from the app store. Description Voice Dream Writer helps everyone write better: Text-to-speech proofreading reduces mistakes, phonetic and meaning search help you find the right words, and an active outline improves the structure of your writing. Text-To-Speech Proofreading. Professional proofreaders recommend reading out loud as the best way to catch mistakes. Like a personal proofreader, Voice Dream Writer reads your writing using text-to-speech, so you can easily spot awkward sentences, grammatical errors and typos. Also, it can read words and sentences as you type or voice dictate. This way, you can type faster because you no longer have to look up to check the text you just wrote. Word Finder. Voice Dream Writer helps you find the right words using phonetic search and meaning search. For example, search for inuf phonetically, and you will find enough, and search for Fast Africa Cat by meaning and you will find Cheetah. Word Finder also shows you the dictionary definition of a word as you type without you having to select anything or open another program. Outline. As you write, Voice Dream Writer automatically creates an outline of headings, paragraphs and sentences. The Outline helps you structure your document better by giving you an always-on overview. You can also quickly navigate to a section in a long document without endless scrolling. Finally, you can drag and drop elements in the Outline to organize your writing. No more selecting, cutting and pasting large blocks of text. Besides these unique features, Voice Dream Writer also comes with everything you would expect from any great writing tool: - Comprehensive settings for text appearance - Uncluttered writing area - Full text search - Synchronize and backup with iCloud - Import and export for Dropbox, Google Drive, and Box. - Basic markdown support for formatting - Export to Microsoft Word format (compatible with Apple Pages) - Support for Bluetooth keyboard The app is not only fully accessible, it was designed with students and adults with print disabilities in mind. There are special tools for VoiceOver users to manage the cursor and select text. Visually impaired users can also easily find and correct misspelled words by stepping through them. Voice Proofreading and Phonetic Search are invaluable for people with dyslexia. Voice Dream Writer will continue to evolve. We would love to hear from you!

Hi Richard, I haven't purchased Voice Dream Writer yet. I thought I read that there was a particular sequence that Voice Reader needed to be opened first.

Re: app switcher
Logic tells me that the more you have running in the background, the less you can work with, because it is being used elsewhere. With that in mind, I always empty the app switcher of apps I am not currently using. --- Be positive!

Anyway, I still try to keep mine at a lot less than 50 apps now. I could not get KNFB to work before I emptied mine, nor talking goggles which I use to read my oven so I can set the temperature correctly, only thing that seems to work for reading the oven, it has that touch screen and very difficult to get it right without help, goggles helps. It is about all I now use it for, however. Anyway, I read somewhere that one never needed to empty the app switcher, but it was in a book where the person is not using Voiceover, and I do think it makes a difference.

You really never need to close apps, especially with iOS7 or 8 and the newer iPhones or iPads. The system manages things well, and makes apps sleep or work in the most efficient way it can. The only time you'd need to close an app is if it is misbehaving (sucking up data or power like crazy, or not responding correctly). Mostly, you can leave apps alone and you'll be fine. The App Switcher is a quick way to access recent apps, or apps being handed off by other Apple devices, but it isn't necessary to keep it cleaned out.

Re: Writer and voices
Vicky W, Excellent point. One reason I first went to Southeastern was because the climate is so similar to mine. One thing they watch for are dogs that will spook in thunderstorms, which gets them dropped. I’m glad Vicky P that you and Admiral has such a good trip. Can’t remember if I mentioned this before, or not, but Southeastern questioned an applicant from San Francisco because she was a GDB grad, and wondered why she wanted to travel across the country to get a dog. She told them she was no longer happy with GDB’s training. Couldn’t blame her for that.

update about Voice Dream Writer
Winston Chen will be releasing an update to Voice Dream Writer in the next week. It will fix the issue with not being able to access the Voice Dream Voices. It will also fix another little issue. Right now, you cannot have a percent sign in the text and export the document to Word format. That will be taken care of in the update. It is great working with such a responsive developer.

Re: Voice Dream Writer Review and Description
Hi Teresa and all, Braille display support isn't perfect; when you move through text using the cursor tool, the braille doesn't follow, for instance. However, if you move to a particular spot using the cursor tool and then use the Previous Item command, you end up in your text at the right spot, with your display focused where you would expect. Also, the braille Find text command, F-chord, works just fine, so you can use that to find a particular spot.

Re: I Tunes radio music sampler
I guess that was what the other person was talking about, I pondered that too but was wondering what he meant by that, I'm working on that first cup of coffee so I'm probably slow today but I didn't see any iTunes radio sampler that let you listen to six tracks per hour (not sure if that was consecutive tracks on an album or if it was just the standard iTunes radio) anywhere, but the featured stations is the only thing that comes close to that. Like I said, i use it pretty much exclusively with the exception of a few things but I always end up back to it since it's so readily available on all my apple platforms, but had never seen this before. I know they're doing some new things soon and didn't know if this was something they were rolling out or what. Thanks for getting back to me Isaac. Take care.

You can also export to Pages to then finish up on your Mac. I am not a Mac user so I cannot speak to how that works exactly. If you own Voice Dream Reader and update to version 3.40 of the Reader and run it once, all your voices from Voice Dream Reader will be available to you in Writer. I highly recommend this app! Here is the description from the app store. Description Voice Dream Writer helps everyone write better: Text-to-speech proofreading reduces mistakes, phonetic and meaning search help you find the right words, and an active outline improves the structure of your writing. Text-To-Speech Proofreading. Professional proofreaders recommend reading out loud as the best way to catch mistakes. Like a personal proofreader, Voice Dream Writer reads your writing using text-to-speech, so you can easily spot awkward sentences, grammatical errors and typos. Also, it can read words and sentences as you type or voice dictate. This way, you can type faster because you no longer have to look up to check the text you just wrote. Word Finder. Voice Dream Writer helps you find the right words using phonetic search and meaning search. For example, search for inuf phonetically, and you will find enough, and search for Fast Africa Cat by meaning and you will find Cheetah. Word Finder also shows you the dictionary definition of a word as you type without you having to select anything or open another program. Outline. As you write, Voice Dream Writer automatically creates an outline of headings, paragraphs and sentences. The Outline helps you structure your document better by giving you an always-on overview. You can also quickly navigate to a section in a long document without endless scrolling. Finally, you can drag and drop elements in the Outline to organize your writing. No more selecting, cutting and pasting large blocks of text. Besides these unique features, Voice Dream Writer also comes with everything you would expect from any great writing tool: - Comprehensive settings for text appearance - Uncluttered writing area - Full text search - Synchronize and backup with iCloud - Import and export for Dropbox, Google Drive, and Box. - Basic markdown support for formatting - Export to Microsoft Word format (compatible with Apple Pages) - Support for Bluetooth keyboard The app is not only fully accessible, it was designed with students and adults with print disabilities in mind. There are special tools for VoiceOver users to manage the cursor and select text. Visually impaired users can also easily find and correct misspelled words by stepping through them. Voice Proofreading and Phonetic Search are invaluable for people with dyslexia. Voice Dream Writer will continue to evolve. We would love to hear from you!

Using the Apple plug to charge a USB keyboard
I have a friend who just purchased a Logitech USB easy switch keyboard.this keyboard comes with a USB cord and wants you to use your computer to charge it. However, he says he is often in a position where he does not have access to his computer. So, he wanted to know has anybody tried to charge this or another similar keyboard using the plug end of the Apple cable that comes with phones or iPads?that is they would take the USB cable that came with the keyboard connected to the part of the Apple thing that plugs into the wall and connect the other into the USB keyboard to charge it. It seems possible to me. But what do I know? Any advice? Mary Sent from my iPhone -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

RE: Voice Dream and Drop Box
Deidre, You have several options for listening to music on your iPhone. Since you asked about Voice Dream Reader with Dropbox, based on what Christopher posted and your reply, it sounds as if you've done what's needed to get the music files uploaded to Voice Dream. Once that's done, they should be listed with your other files on the All Items screen in voice Dream. I'd suggest you might just want to listen to your music using Dropbox. When you navigate to the Dropbox folder containing your music files using the Dropbox app, double tapping on one of the song files will open a screen and the song should start playing from within the app. There is also a play button and a progress bar at the bottom of the screen that opens. Since the files are already in Dropbox, you shouldn't need to upload them into Voice Dream to listen using this approach. If you are like me and not dependent on iCloud, you can simply back up your phone to your computer. I do this using an encrypted iTunes backup but also have iTunes set to automatically backup to iCloud. The iCloud backup is not as extensive as the iTunes encrypted computer backup and it also necessitated that I purchase a bit more iCloud storage since the 5GB provided free was not enough to backup my phone. I opted for the 20GB of iCloud storage which is $.99 a month I believe. I do prefer using iTunes for managing my music on my phone since it is easy to sync and maintain playlists and iTunes is Apple's blessed software for managing content between a computer and an iDevice. However, since I don't believe the folder location for your iTunes library can be a Dropbox folder, you'll have to keep duplicates of your music if you want to have it in both iTunes and Dropbox. Granted, the Dropbox duplicates are in the cloud. Finally, you might consider looking at an app like Tonido. This app allows you to access all the files on your computer using your iPhone and in effect using your own computer as your personal cloud storage. just remember, if you use this approach that you're responsible for keeping your own backups since there would be no cloud safety net. Tonido is nice because it has its own built in music player so that when accessing music files on your local computer with it, you're able to listen to them from within the app. The version I use is accessible but I got it a while back and have only updated it one time. Here's a link to Tonido on the iTunes Store if you'd like to read further about it: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tonido-file-access-music-video/id388726418?m t=8 Tonido is free and here's a TinyURL link to it too in case that previous longer link breaks: http://tinyurl.com/bt2wzsn Good luck.

Where does it put it? I'll try adding to favorites or maybe there is an option/tab for adding a particular song to a playlist. There is a Home button and if I remember correctly the scrub does not always work in Drop Box either. Am I correct in concluding that if I copy what I want to transfer using I tunes would simply keep it right there on the phone until I delete what I want to delete.

Re: Voice dream writer
Hi, I beta-tested Voice Dream Writer, and it has some great features that I haven't seen elsewhere. You can navigate by sentence, paragraph, and heading in addition to the usual navigation units. You can enter a search term and then easily move between search results. You can do the same for misspelled words, making it much easier to correct your document. You can have your document read in a proofreading mode that speaks things like spacing and all punctuation. There's a built-in dictionary/thesaurus called Word Aid to help you make sure you've got the right word, find rhyming words, find a word even if you don't know exactly how to spell it, and more. You can open an outline view of your document and move sections around. In short, I think it has many unique and valuable features.

Voice Dream Writer Review and Description
Greetings, I was a beta tester for Voice Dream Writer. First, let me say that I plan to do all my writing with this app from now on. It is simply the most powerful Word Processing app I've used on an iPhone. It will take some getting used to, but once you do, it is fantastic! Note, it does require iOS 8.1. It costs $9.99 and is available only in English in this first release. I recommend reading the help file that is included in the app. You can easily move or delete whole paragraphs or sentences. You can navigate your document by headings, paragraphs or sentences, of course also by word or character. It creates an outline as you go which is why it is then easy to navigate by those portions of text. It has a great spell checker that makes it incredibly easy to find and correct misspelled words. You can show or hide the outline with a gesture or with a toggle button on the screen. There are dedicated bluetooth keyboard commands. One of my favorite features is being able to set heading levels, bulleted lists, bold or italicize text and then export that to a word document so it maintains those formatting styles. Now, you can only open text files, not word files. But, if you do the bulk of your rough draft in Writer, then export it to Word .docx format to DropBox or example, you can then polish up your document on your computer and have your headings, bold, etc., maintained.. You can also export to Pages to then finish up on your Mac. I am not a Mac user so I cannot speak to how that works exactly. If you own Voice Dream Reader and update to version 3.40 of the Reader and run it once, all your voices from Voice Dream Reader will be available to you in Writer. I highly recommend this app! Here is the description from the app store. Description Voice Dream Writer helps everyone write better: Text-to-speech proofreading reduces mistakes, phonetic and meaning search help you find the right words, and an active outline improves the structure of your writing. Text-To-Speech Proofreading. Professional proofreaders recommend reading out loud as the best way to catch mistakes. Like a personal proofreader, Voice Dream Writer reads your writing using text-to-speech, so you can easily spot awkward sentences, grammatical errors and typos. Also, it can read words and sentences as you type or voice dictate. This way, you can type faster because you no longer have to look up to check the text you just wrote. Word Finder. Voice Dream Writer helps you find the right words using phonetic search and meaning search. For example, search for inuf phonetically, and you will find enough, and search for Fast Africa Cat by meaning and you will find Cheetah. Word Finder also shows you the dictionary definition of a word as you type without you having to select anything or open another program. Outline. As you write, Voice Dream Writer automatically creates an outline of headings, paragraphs and sentences. The Outline helps you structure your document better by giving you an always-on overview. You can also quickly navigate to a section in a long document without endless scrolling. Finally, you can drag and drop elements in the Outline to organize your writing. No more selecting, cutting and pasting large blocks of text. Besides these unique features, Voice Dream Writer also comes with everything you would expect from any great writing tool: - Comprehensive settings for text appearance - Uncluttered writing area - Full text search - Synchronize and backup with iCloud - Import and export for Dropbox, Google Drive, and Box. - Basic markdown support for formatting - Export to Microsoft Word format (compatible with Apple Pages) - Support for Bluetooth keyboard The app is not only fully accessible, it was designed with students and adults with print disabilities in mind. There are special tools for VoiceOver users to manage the cursor and select text. Visually impaired users can also easily find and correct misspelled words by stepping through them. Voice Proofreading and Phonetic Search are invaluable for people with dyslexia. Voice Dream Writer will continue to evolve. We would love to hear from you! What's New in Version 1.0.0 Posted Jan 20, 2015 . Initial release for all English-speaking countries. . You can use all voices installed in Voice Dream Reader, but you have to update to the latest version of the Reader, 3.4.0, and run it once. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: configuring wifi vs. cellular
On my previous connection, a DSL broadband, the WiFi signal sometimes dropped out on my iPhone. On my present one, a FibreOptic connection, it never does. Meanwhile, check that you are in fact connected to WiFi before you begin your activity that (you believe) requires it. Examples of such would be online video streams, or perhaps file downloads. There is a difference between your phone’s WiFI being trned on and its being connected to your WiFi. (It will say ‘not connected’ ir ‘connected’.)

It’s possible that there’s just too much traffic for the bandwidth we have. We have two desktop computers connected to our router and my dad’s caregiver has a laptop as well as a phone . She spends a lot of time on skype or streaming movies especially in the evening, and if we are online at the same time we have to do router resets. It’s worse than having teenagers ... we never had this problem when our two were home, smile. At any rate, she may be drawing from a different network.

Re: Voice Dream Writer Review and Description
Hi, A pity you cant open documents in pages/docx format that would have been really good although i do understand that this app is more for writing then for reading. The nice thing about accessnote was that it allowed you to keep place in a document even when you left the app and that braille cursor routing actually worked as it is supposed to, hopefully this will work in voicedreamreader as well. I still hope that more formats will be added in the future that can be opened. Also i hope that more languages (also spelling ) will be added. Certainly will give it a look though.

Re: Volume adjustments under iOS8
I too have the issue with audio ducking turned off. I mostly have audio ducking off anyway, turning it on only when I absolutely have to hear speech. Most of the time I can hear and mostly understand both VoiceOver speech and another form of audio. This depends on the audio though, such as loud music. Anyway, it is hard to tell when the volume is going to go bonkers. Yesterday I had turned my VoiceOver volume down low at work, but hwen I locked my phone, the phone lock sound seemed to be much louder than VO speech.

Re: Strange behavior from my new iPhone 6 Plus
On the 5S, after you press the sleep/wake button quickly, the unlock button is towards the bottom left of the screen. Keep moving your finger along the screen and VoiceOver should be speaking as you go. If it's not, press but do not hold the sleep/wake button again, and locate again. -Original Message- From: SoonerAnnie Sent: Monday, January 19, 2015 9:49 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Strange behavior from my new iPhone 6 Plus Hi all, On Saturday afternoon my husband and I went to the ATT store and he bought my belated Christmas present...a new iPhone 6 Plus! The lady who assisted us was very helpful and knowledgable and got my phone up and running with no problems. Once at home, I began adding apps, changing settings to my preference, etc., etc. There was one brief episode of my screen not responding when I attempted to do anything such as double tap, swipe, flick, or scroll, but it straightened out when I rebooted the phone. On Sunday morning...when I received a phone call...there was no way I could answer it even though the caller ID spoke the information...because there were no buttons on the screen. When I would attempt to unlock the phone by either pressing the home or wake/sleep button, it would say unlock but there was no button to tap on. As a matter of fact, the screen appeared to be blank! I had no trouble using a bluetooth keyboard, but the screen is quite baffling. Once in a while it will act normally but...most of the time...it's as though it were blank. My husband says he can see the icons but they didn't appear to work for him either when I turned off VoiceOver. I reset settings to the factory defaults but that made no difference. I even wondered if the screen protector...which I purchased yesterday...might have been the problem but don't see how it could. I thought by turning screen curtain off that it might help...and also making the screen a bit brighter than zero and...though they appeared to help for a minute or two...it reverted back to its strange behavior. I didn't mean to write a book - just wanted to get all the pertinent info for anyone who might have a clue what's going on. Thanks to those who have read this far, and I appreciate any advice or suggestions anyone might have. Does it sound like I might have to give up my new best friend for another one?

RE: Voice Dream Writer Review and Description
It will remember your place in your document. Richard From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Anouk Radix Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2015 12:55 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Voice Dream Writer Review and Description Hi, A pity you cant open documents in pages/docx format that would have been really good although i do understand that this app is more for writing then for reading. The nice thing about accessnote was that it allowed you to keep place in a document even when you left the app and that braille cursor routing actually worked as it is supposed to, hopefully this will work in voicedreamreader as well. I still hope that more formats will be added in the future that can be opened. Also i hope that more languages (also spelling ) will be added. Certainly will give it a look though. Greetings, Anouk, On 21 Jan 2015, at 17:00, Richard Turner rich...@turner42.com mailto:rich...@turner42.com wrote: Greetings, I was a beta tester for Voice Dream Writer. First, let me say that I plan to do all my writing with this app from now on. It is simply the most powerful Word Processing app I've used on an iPhone. It will take some getting used to, but once you do, it is fantastic! Note, it does require iOS 8.1. It costs $9.99 and is available only in English in this first release. I recommend reading the help file that is included in the app. You can easily move or delete whole paragraphs or sentences. You can navigate your document by headings, paragraphs or sentences, of course also by word or character. It creates an outline as you go which is why it is then easy to navigate by those portions of text. It has a great spell checker that makes it incredibly easy to find and correct misspelled words. You can show or hide the outline with a gesture or with a toggle button on the screen. There are dedicated bluetooth keyboard commands. One of my favorite features is being able to set heading levels, bulleted lists, bold or italicize text and then export that to a word document so it maintains those formatting styles. Now, you can only open text files, not word files. But, if you do the bulk of your rough draft in Writer, then export it to Word .docx format to DropBox or example, you can then polish up your document on your computer and have your headings, bold, etc., maintained.. You can also export to Pages to then finish up on your Mac. I am not a Mac user so I cannot speak to how that works exactly. If you own Voice Dream Reader and update to version 3.40 of the Reader and run it once, all your voices from Voice Dream Reader will be available to you in Writer. I highly recommend this app! Here is the description from the app store. Description Voice Dream Writer helps everyone write better: Text-to-speech proofreading reduces mistakes, phonetic and meaning search help you find the right words, and an active outline improves the structure of your writing. Text-To-Speech Proofreading. Professional proofreaders recommend reading out loud as the best way to catch mistakes. Like a personal proofreader, Voice Dream Writer reads your writing using text-to-speech, so you can easily spot awkward sentences, grammatical errors and typos. Also, it can read words and sentences as you type or voice dictate. This way, you can type faster because you no longer have to look up to check the text you just wrote. Word Finder. Voice Dream Writer helps you find the right words using phonetic search and meaning search. For example, search for inuf phonetically, and you will find enough, and search for Fast Africa Cat by meaning and you will find Cheetah. Word Finder also shows you the dictionary definition of a word as you type without you having to select anything or open another program. Outline. As you write, Voice Dream Writer automatically creates an outline of headings, paragraphs and sentences. The Outline helps you structure your document better by giving you an always-on overview. You can also quickly navigate to a section in a long document without endless scrolling. Finally, you can drag and drop elements in the Outline to organize your writing. No more selecting, cutting and pasting large blocks of text. Besides these unique features, Voice Dream Writer also comes with everything you would expect from any great writing tool: - Comprehensive settings for text appearance - Uncluttered writing area - Full text search - Synchronize and backup with iCloud - Import and export for Dropbox, Google Drive, and Box. - Basic markdown support for formatting - Export to Microsoft Word format (compatible with Apple Pages) - Support for Bluetooth keyboard The app is not only fully accessible, it was designed with students and adults with print disabilities in mind. There are special tools for VoiceOver users to manage the cursor and select text. Visually

Since you asked about Voice Dream Reader with Dropbox, based on what Christopher posted and your reply, it sounds as if you've done what's needed to get the music files uploaded to Voice Dream. Once that's done, they should be listed with your other files on the All Items screen in voice Dream. I'd suggest you might just want to listen to your music using Dropbox. When you navigate to the Dropbox folder containing your music files using the Dropbox app, double tapping on one of the song files will open a screen and the song should start playing from within the app. There is also a play button and a progress bar at the bottom of the screen that opens. Since the files are already in Dropbox, you shouldn't need to upload them into Voice Dream to listen using this approach. If you are like me and not dependent on iCloud, you can simply back up your phone to your computer. I do this using an encrypted iTunes backup but also have iTunes set to automatically backup to iCloud. The iCloud backup is not as extensive as the iTunes encrypted computer backup and it also necessitated that I purchase a bit more iCloud storage since the 5GB provided free was not enough to backup my phone. I opted for the 20GB of iCloud storage which is $.99 a month I believe. I do prefer using iTunes for managing my music on my phone since it is easy to sync and maintain playlists and iTunes is Apple's blessed software for managing content between a computer and an iDevice. However, since I don't believe the folder location for your iTunes library can be a Dropbox folder, you'll have to keep duplicates of your music if you want to have it in both iTunes and Dropbox. Granted, the Dropbox duplicates are in the cloud. Finally, you might consider looking at an app like Tonido. This app allows you to access all the files on your computer using your iPhone and in effect using your own computer as your personal cloud storage. just remember, if you use this approach that you're responsible for keeping your own backups since there would be no cloud safety net. Tonido is nice because it has its own built in music player so that when accessing music files on your local computer with it, you're able to listen to them from within the app. The version I use is accessible but I got it a while back and have only updated it one time. Here's a link to Tonido on the iTunes Store if you'd like to read further about it: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tonido-file-access-music-video/id388726418?m t=8 Tonido is free and here's a TinyURL link to it too in case that previous longer link breaks: http://tinyurl.com/bt2wzsn Good luck.

RE: Voice Dream Writer Review and Description
Thanks for letting us know about this interview. I just listened to it. For anyone who doesn’t know the back story of how Winston Chen came to write Voice Dream Reader or want to hear more about Writer from the developer, it is worth a listen. James Oates does the interview and he was a beta tester, which he states early on.

It was an interview with Winston Chen, sorry if I misspelled, about voice dream reader and voice dream writer and the story behind it. It was a great listen and I was blown away by the developers dedication to make voice dream writer. Anyways, I am so excited about this new app and plan to purchase it.

Re: Bluetooth keyboard
Hi, Are you using the Amazon bluetooth basic keyboard with your mac or with an iphone or ipad? Andrew On 21 Jan 2015, at 20:27, christopher hallsworth challswor...@icloud.com wrote: Hi all, Just received my bluetooth keyboard by Amazon Basics. After some teething troubles inserting the batteries, pairing was easy and works like any other bluetooth keyboard; enter the code displayed on the keyboard and press enter. If successful you can start using it immediately. If not, keep trying until the pairing is successful. I am using it now as I write. The layout is similar to that of the Apple keyboard, however it is made of plastic and not metal. Also, there is a separate on/off switch and a slightly recessed pair button next to the battery which is located at the back. This is compared to one big button on the side which acts as both on/off and pair button on the Apple keyboard. As the batteries, the Amazon Basics keyboard takes two AAA batteries whereas AA batteries are used on the Apple. Also, sliding the cover in the down position is all it needs to remove and replace the batteries compared to using a device like a coin to remove and replace the batteries. This is for the Amazon Basics and Apple keyboards respectively. I hope this is a short but good review of this keyboard by Amazon Basics. I think for under £20.00 U.K. it's good for what it does and no doubt will last some time. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Command for toggling the screen curtain on a Bluetooth keyboard isn't working for a friend of mine.
A friend of mine recently purchased a Bluetooth keyboard, and has found that the command for toggling the screen curtain doesn't seem to work. I'm wondering if the command has changed in iOS 8, or if the command was broken somehow. Can someone please tell me the command, so that I can see if she's just doing it incorrectly somehow, or if it changed? I think she's pressing VO-Shft-S. And are the Vo keys Ctrl-Option?

Re: Using the Apple plug to charge a USB keyboard
I suppose that you could do this, but don't guarantee. If the keyboard uses rechargeable batteries that can be bought, I would get a spare set and a battery charger. The charger can be used for other batteries, too. Keep a set fully charged for use when the currently used set goes dead. Then recharge those dead ones for future use. This is what I do with my Apple Bluetooth keyboard. --- Be positive!

I'm not sure I like the sounds of operating or sharing what is on my computer from the iPhone.

Since you asked about Voice Dream Reader with Dropbox, based on what Christopher posted and your reply, it sounds as if you've done what's needed to get the music files uploaded to Voice Dream. Once that's done, they should be listed with your other files on the All Items screen in voice Dream. I'd suggest you might just want to listen to your music using Dropbox. When you navigate to the Dropbox folder containing your music files using the Dropbox app, double tapping on one of the song files will open a screen and the song should start playing from within the app. There is also a play button and a progress bar at the bottom of the screen that opens. Since the files are already in Dropbox, you shouldn't need to upload them into Voice Dream to listen using this approach. If you are like me and not dependent on iCloud, you can simply back up your phone to your computer. I do this using an encrypted iTunes backup but also have iTunes set to automatically backup to iCloud. The iCloud backup is not as extensive as the iTunes encrypted computer backup and it also necessitated that I purchase a bit more iCloud storage since the 5GB provided free was not enough to backup my phone. I opted for the 20GB of iCloud storage which is $.99 a month I believe. I do prefer using iTunes for managing my music on my phone since it is easy to sync and maintain playlists and iTunes is Apple's blessed software for managing content between a computer and an iDevice. However, since I don't believe the folder location for your iTunes library can be a Dropbox folder, you'll have to keep duplicates of your music if you want to have it in both iTunes and Dropbox. Granted, the Dropbox duplicates are in the cloud. Finally, you might consider looking at an app like Tonido. This app allows you to access all the files on your computer using your iPhone and in effect using your own computer as your personal cloud storage. just remember, if you use this approach that you're responsible for keeping your own backups since there would be no cloud safety net. Tonido is nice because it has its own built in music player so that when accessing music files on your local computer with it, you're able to listen to them from within the app. The version I use is accessible but I got it a while back and have only updated it one time. Here's a link to Tonido on the iTunes Store if you'd like to read further about it: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tonido-file-access-music-video/id388726418?m t=8 Tonido is free and here's a TinyURL link to it too in case that previous longer link breaks: http://tinyurl.com/bt2wzsn Good luck.

Re: Bluetooth keyboard
I was using it on my iPad Mini 2 when I wrote the original message.

After some teething troubles inserting the batteries, pairing was easy and works like any other bluetooth keyboard; enter the code displayed on the keyboard and press enter. If successful you can start using it immediately. If not, keep trying until the pairing is successful. I am using it now as I write. The layout is similar to that of the Apple keyboard, however it is made of plastic and not metal. Also, there is a separate on/off switch and a slightly recessed pair button next to the battery which is located at the back. This is compared to one big button on the side which acts as both on/off and pair button on the Apple keyboard. As the batteries, the Amazon Basics keyboard takes two AAA batteries whereas AA batteries are used on the Apple. Also, sliding the cover in the down position is all it needs to remove and replace the batteries compared to using a device like a coin to remove and replace the batteries. This is for the Amazon Basics and Apple keyboards respectively. I hope this is a short but good review of this keyboard by Amazon Basics. I think for under £20.00 U.K. it's good for what it does and no doubt will last some time. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: accessible free ringtones?
Rob, AllAccess is free, and it's been discussed here a lot so I didn't give much explanation. It helps you find local businesses and for many restaurants it offers talking menus. Get it at http://ALAX.US There are lots of free versions of AutoRingtone and Ringtone Director. Try any one of the free versions to see if it meets your needs and you may not need to PRO version which adds more voices.

Re: Reading iOs Access for All on iBooks
I have no trouble reading continuously in iBOOKS. Keep in mind that you first have to feel around the screen until to are actually focussed on the text of the book. Everything's out on the same screen so it's possible to be focussed on the page chooser and other things. Once you'r definitely on text, you simply swipe down once with two fingers.

Re: Using the Apple plug to charge a USB keyboard
I seem to recall that the Easy-switch, while not needing to be charged every other day, does not stay charged for months, though of course this would vary with usage and according to whether you turned it off when not using it. Also, somebody mentioned changing the battery but the Logitech Easi-switch doesn't look to me like it was really built to have a battery switch done regularly; there's no really obvious battery compartment that I can see. As much as I like that particular keyboard, it does annoy me that it can need charging without giving me much warning and then I have to have a usb port open on my computer to keep going with that keyboard or change to a different one while it's charging. So if using the iPhone plug with the Easi-Switch cable works, carrying it might not be a bad idea. -- Cheryl Move forward by looking back!

Re: Using the Apple plug to charge a USB keyboard
This should work fine, might even charge a bit faster.

Re: Using the Apple plug to charge a USB keyboard
I can only speak about my Amazon Basics Bluetooth wireless keyboard. We are not talking charging up the keyboard every other day. A single charge of the keyboard keeps you typing for several months on a single charge. When I sirst got my keyboard case and charged it up in less then 3 hours, I sent email and texts for several months before needing to recharge the keyboard again and like I said, it only takes around 3 hours to recharge so you can do it overnight and the cable can recharge from another computer's USB port, a iPhone recharger, and these days you can buy a charger which has a bunch of USB 2.0 charging ports. The one my wife gave me for christmas fits in a standard wall outlet plug. It fits in both outlets at the same time but then gives you 3 outlets and 4 USB ports. She says they are sold everywhere.

RE: Voice Dream Writer Review and Description
Hi, I can’t figure out how to create a heading of various levels in this app. Any clues would be helpful. Also, is their any on-line documentation other than what is in the help file on the app? Thanks very much.

In fact, I'm thinking of using this as my one and only Word Processor! Just love the features and layout of the app. I will definitely spread the word. Thanks Winston and the team for such a great app. On 21 Jan 2015, at 16:00, Richard Turner rich...@turner42.com wrote: Greetings, I was a beta tester for Voice Dream Writer. First, let me say that I plan to do all my writing with this app from now on. It is simply the most powerful Word Processing app I've used on an iPhone. It will take some getting used to, but once you do, it is fantastic! Note, it does require iOS 8.1. It costs $9.99 and is available only in English in this first release. I recommend reading the help file that is included in the app. You can easily move or delete whole paragraphs or sentences. You can navigate your document by headings, paragraphs or sentences, of course also by word or character. It creates an outline as you go which is why it is then easy to navigate by those portions of text. It has a great spell checker that makes it incredibly easy to find and correct misspelled words. You can show or hide the outline with a gesture or with a toggle button on the screen. There are dedicated bluetooth keyboard commands. One of my favorite features is being able to set heading levels, bulleted lists, bold or italicize text and then export that to a word document so it maintains those formatting styles. Now, you can only open text files, not word files. But, if you do the bulk of your rough draft in Writer, then export it to Word .docx format to DropBox or example, you can then polish up your document on your computer and have your headings, bold, etc., maintained.. You can also export to Pages to then finish up on your Mac. I am not a Mac user so I cannot speak to how that works exactly. If you own Voice Dream Reader and update to version 3.40 of the Reader and run it once, all your voices from Voice Dream Reader will be available to you in Writer. I highly recommend this app! Here is the description from the app store. Description Voice Dream Writer helps everyone write better: Text-to-speech proofreading reduces mistakes, phonetic and meaning search help you find the right words, and an active outline improves the structure of your writing. Text-To-Speech Proofreading. Professional proofreaders recommend reading out loud as the best way to catch mistakes. Like a personal proofreader, Voice Dream Writer reads your writing using text-to-speech, so you can easily spot awkward sentences, grammatical errors and typos. Also, it can read words and sentences as you type or voice dictate. This way, you can type faster because you no longer have to look up to check the text you just wrote. Word Finder. Voice Dream Writer helps you find the right words using phonetic search and meaning search. For example, search for inuf phonetically, and you will find enough, and search for Fast Africa Cat by meaning and you will find Cheetah. Word Finder also shows you the dictionary definition of a word as you type without you having to select anything or open another program. Outline. As you write, Voice Dream Writer automatically creates an outline of headings, paragraphs and sentences. The Outline helps you structure your document better by giving you an always-on overview. You can also quickly navigate to a section in a long document without endless scrolling. Finally, you can drag and drop elements in the Outline to organize your writing. No more selecting, cutting and pasting large blocks of text. Besides these unique features, Voice Dream Writer also comes with everything you would expect from any great writing tool: - Comprehensive settings for text appearance - Uncluttered writing area - Full text search - Synchronize and backup with iCloud - Import and export for Dropbox, Google Drive, and Box. - Basic markdown support for formatting - Export to Microsoft Word format (compatible with Apple Pages) - Support for Bluetooth keyboard The app is not only fully accessible, it was designed with students and adults with print disabilities in mind. There are special tools for VoiceOver users to manage the cursor and select text. Visually impaired users can also easily find and correct misspelled words by stepping through them. Voice Proofreading and Phonetic Search are invaluable for people with dyslexia. Voice Dream Writer will continue to

Re: app switcher
Well this depends. If you're using a device with only the resources to run one app at a time or a operating system that doesn't do much to manage resources then this is true. However this isn't true of the iPhone. The question is do you want to manage the memory and resources on your phone yourself or do you want to let the operating system do this for you. If you mail, text or phone a lot then leaving these apps open will mean they're easier to bring up since you only need to go into the App /Switcher and furthermore they'll load faster since they're already in the phones memory or cache. I use a smart phone, tablet or computer because I want them to do as much for me as they can, and that includes managing their own memory and processes. This is coming from a 4S user. I do clear out the App Switcher though when the phone starts acting flaky, and I will occasionally just pro actively go in there and unload some apps I know I won't be running any time soon. I don't choose to spend my time going into the App Switcher and unloading an app every time I finish using it. This is just my choice however, and I probably deal with some flakiness I could avoid otherwise. Apple did implement multi tasking in IOS though, so it should be taken advantage of. If apps needed to be closed when you were done using them then I'd think Apple would make it a bit easier to do that than having to go into the App Switcher to do it. Just my $0.02 which people are free to ignore.

Re: configuring wifi vs. cellular
I don't think you're saying this, but the wifi connection has nothing to do with fibre optic or DSL. DSL is the connection from your house to the internet. Wifi is the wireless connection within your house. You could switch from DSL to cable or fibre optic by swapping out modems but still be using the same router. Of course, you can also get modem/router units, so when you switch from DSL to cable, you're changing routers and therefore could impact your wifi connection. This still has to do with the router though and not the cable or DSL connection itself. On 01/21/2015 02:19 PM, Flor Lynch wrote: On my previous connection, a DSL broadband, the WiFi signal sometimes dropped out on my iPhone. On my present one, a FibreOptic connection, it never does. Meanwhile, check that you are in fact connected to WiFi before you begin your activity that (you believe) requires it. Examples of such would be online video streams, or perhaps file downloads.

Re: Voice Dream Writer Review and Description
According to the help, if you start a line with the pound (#) symbol, you should create a level 1 heading. The more pound (#) symbols you add, the lower the heading level. So you would insert two # symbols for heading level 2, three # symbols for heading level 3 etc. On 22 Jan 2015, at 05:37, Neal Ewers neal.ew...@ravenswood.org wrote: Hi, I can’t figure out how to create a heading of various levels in this app. Any clues would be helpful.

In fact, I'm thinking of using this as my one and only Word Processor! Just love the features and layout of the app. I will definitely spread the word. Thanks Winston and the team for such a great app. On 21 Jan 2015, at 16:00, Richard Turner rich...@turner42.com mailto:rich...@turner42.com wrote: Greetings, I was a beta tester for Voice Dream Writer. First, let me say that I plan to do all my writing with this app from now on. It is simply the most powerful Word Processing app I've used on an iPhone. It will take some getting used to, but once you do, it is fantastic! Note, it does require iOS 8.1. It costs $9.99 and is available only in English in this first release. I recommend reading the help file that is included in the app. You can easily move or delete whole paragraphs or sentences. You can navigate your document by headings, paragraphs or sentences, of course also by word or character. It creates an outline as you go which is why it is then easy to navigate by those portions of text. It has a great spell checker that makes it incredibly easy to find and correct misspelled words. You can show or hide the outline with a gesture or with a toggle button on the screen. There are dedicated bluetooth keyboard commands. One of my favorite features is being able to set heading levels, bulleted lists, bold or italicize text and then export that to a word document so it maintains those formatting styles. Now, you can only open text files, not word files. But, if you do the bulk of your rough draft in Writer, then export it to Word .docx format to DropBox or example, you can then polish up your document on your computer and have your headings, bold, etc., maintained.. You can also export to Pages to then finish up on your Mac. I am not a Mac user so I cannot speak to how that works exactly. If you own Voice Dream Reader and update to version 3.40 of the Reader and run it once, all your voices from Voice Dream Reader will be available to you in Writer. I highly recommend this app! Here is the description from the app store. Description Voice Dream Writer helps everyone write better: Text-to-speech proofreading reduces mistakes, phonetic and meaning search help you find the right words, and an active outline improves the structure of your writing. Text-To-Speech Proofreading. Professional proofreaders recommend reading out loud as the best way to catch mistakes. Like a personal proofreader, Voice Dream Writer reads your writing using text-to-speech, so you can easily spot awkward sentences, grammatical errors and typos. Also, it can read words and sentences as you type or voice dictate. This way, you can type faster because you no longer have to look up to check the text you just wrote. Word Finder. Voice Dream Writer helps you find the right words using phonetic search and meaning search. For example, search for inuf phonetically, and you will find enough, and search for Fast Africa Cat by meaning and you will find Cheetah. Word Finder also shows you the dictionary definition of a word as you type without you having to select anything or open another program. Outline. As you write, Voice Dream Writer automatically creates an outline of headings, paragraphs and sentences. The Outline helps you structure your document better by giving you an always-on overview. You can also quickly navigate to a section in a long document without endless scrolling. Finally, you can drag and drop elements in the Outline to organize your writing. No more selecting, cutting and pasting large blocks of text. Besides these unique features, Voice Dream Writer also comes with everything you would expect from any great writing tool: - Comprehensive settings for text appearance - Uncluttered writing area - Full text search - Synchronize and backup with iCloud - Import and export for Dropbox, Google Drive, and Box. - Basic markdown support for formatting - Export to Microsoft Word format
Bluetooth keyboard
Hi all, Just received my bluetooth keyboard by Amazon Basics. After some teething troubles inserting the batteries, pairing was easy and works like any other bluetooth keyboard; enter the code displayed on the keyboard and press enter. If successful you can start using it immediately. If not, keep trying until the pairing is successful. I am using it now as I write. The layout is similar to that of the Apple keyboard, however it is made of plastic and not metal. Also, there is a separate on/off switch and a slightly recessed pair button next to the battery which is located at the back. This is compared to one big button on the side which acts as both on/off and pair button on the Apple keyboard. As the batteries, the Amazon Basics keyboard takes two AAA batteries whereas AA batteries are used on the Apple. Also, sliding the cover in the down position is all it needs to remove and replace the batteries compared to using a device like a coin to remove and replace the batteries. This is for the Amazon Basics and Apple keyboards respectively. I hope this is a short but good review of this keyboard by Amazon Basics. I think for under £20.00 U.K. it's good for what it does and no doubt will last some time. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Voice Dream and Drop Box
Hello As those who are reading my posts know, I'm sorting through operating the 6 as well as reading about and trying to figure out how to use given apps. Since I hadn't read anything in depth on creating a playlist from my music library and moving it t the phone, I copied a bunch of music into Drop Box which comes up in Voice Dream. I'm not clear how Voice Dream works though I read the help file - only once. What is the best way to see everything in Drop box without having to look at that list of things that comes up when you open the app? For example, it says Folders, my folders, and other things but to get to Drop Box and Bookshare, you have to hit on the Add Tab. Is there a way to bypass that and have everything showing when you open up VD? Is that how the folders can be used? I'm having reading the Dresner files because I can't seem to get it to keep reading and hitting on net item means file. Something is set to 60 minute intervals but I can't see where to set it to just keep reading until I pause it. When I went to VD settings in Settings, it was empty, there was nothing to set and I believe that is due to the fact that there are options you can choose from within the app itself. I notice that people often send links to the links that are to podcasts on particular apps using vo. Someone sent a good one on downcast last week. What might be a good place for these sorts of podcasts? Deidre -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

RE: Voice Dream and Drop Box
Me again... What is happening in Drop Box with the music mp3 files is that when I hit on a song title it says download? When it finishes downloading all I have left is an ok button. From there I can't seem to activate anything. Then when I go back to the song title it asks to download the same song again. I do not understand this at all. All the songs have been uploaded and are up to date in Drop Box on the main computer, and I left the phone on all night, so what am I missing here? Also the album titles show in the list of everything I have in that shared folder but don't show when the songs come up. This is new music for me so I want to include the band name with the song titles. There must be a way to play from a place where everything is listed together. I'm only doing this until I learn how to make a playlist using I Tunes and I am assuming the Dresner book will go into that once I can get to that piece of the book!

Volume adjustments under iOS8
Hi All, I'm running the latest iOS on an iPhone 6 and have been noticing some odd behavior with regard to volume control. There are times when the volume of sounds gets very, very loud while the volume of other output like VO or music or audio books remains at the level to which I previously set it. If I attempt to adjust using the volume controls, only the audio and VO are changed while the volume of the sounds remains uncomfortably loud. This is especially disruptive when I'm using headphones. The only way to fix the issue seems to be to turn off the sounds altogether. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Is there some way to adjust the various volume levels independently one from another?

Re: app switcher
I know there are some out there that think IOS manages memory well, so you never have to close an app. I know there are others out there as well who close an app as soon as they're done using it. I have an iPhone 4S, and I think the truth is somewhere in between. I want the phone to do as much for me as it can, and it can manage it's own memory better than I can, so I'm not slavish about closing an app as soon as I'm done using it. This is a few extra steps to close it and then it takes a bit longer to load the next time I do use it. I don't let my number of open aps get too numerous though, and there are some apps that seem a bit more resource intensive than others. Apps that I'm not likely to use again for a while, I'll also make a point to close when I'm done.

Re: Voice Dream and Drop Box
The files in DropBox are stored in the cloud and are now stored locally on your phone. You need to download them before you can access them or adding them to your favorites will also download them and keep them local. On 01/21/2015 07:22 AM, Deidre Muccio wrote: Me again... What is happening in Drop Box with the music mp3 files is that when I hit on a song title it says download? When it finishes downloading all I have left is an ok button. From there I can't seem to activate anything. Then when I go back to the song title it asks to download the same song again. I do not understand this at all. All the songs have been uploaded and are up to date in Drop Box on the main computer, and I left the phone on all night, so what am I missing here? Also the album titles show in the list of everything I have in that shared folder but don't show when the songs come up. This is new music for me so I want to include the band name with the song titles. There must be a way to play from a place where everything is listed together. I'm only doing this until I learn how to make a playlist using I Tunes and I am assuming the Dresner book will go into that once I can get to that piece of the book! I might have to go back to my main computer to read but I wanted to read from a more relaxed place!

Since I hadn't read anything in depth on creating a playlist from my music library and moving it t the phone, I copied a bunch of music into Drop Box which comes up in Voice Dream. I'm not clear how Voice Dream works though I read the help file - only once. What is the best way to see everything in Drop box without having to look at that list of things that comes up when you open the app? For example, it says Folders, my folders, and other things but to get to Drop Box and Bookshare, you have to hit on the Add Tab. Is there a way to bypass that and have everything showing when you open up VD? Is that how the folders can be used? I'm having reading the Dresner files because I can't seem to get it to keep reading and hitting on net item means file. Something is set to 60 minute intervals but I can't see where to set it to just keep reading until I pause it. When I went to VD settings in Settings, it was empty, there was nothing to set and I believe that is due to the fact that there are options you can choose from within the app itself. I notice that people often send links to the links that are to podcasts on particular apps using vo. Someone sent a good one on downcast last week. What might be a good place for these sorts of podcasts? Deidre -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

I guess iCloud is not the way I want all the files loaded or stored. Do I really need I Cloud if I back up using the computer? Can I transfer everything I want without involving iCloud? -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Christopher Chaltain Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2015 8:29 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Voice Dream and Drop Box The files in DropBox are stored in the cloud and are now stored locally on your phone. You need to download them before you can access them or adding them to your favorites will also download them and keep them local. On 01/21/2015 07:22 AM, Deidre Muccio wrote: Me again... What is happening in Drop Box with the music mp3 files is that when I hit on a song title it says download? When it finishes downloading all I have left is an ok button. From there I can't seem to activate anything. Then when I go back to the song title it asks to download the same song again. I do not understand this at all. All the songs have been uploaded and are up to date in Drop Box on the main computer, and I left the phone on all night, so what am I missing here? Also the album titles show in the list of everything I have in that shared folder but don't show when the songs come up. This is new music for me so I want to include the band name with the song titles. There must be a way to play from a place where everything is listed together. I'm only doing this until I learn how to make a playlist using I Tunes and I am assuming the Dresner book will go into that once I can get to that piece of the book! I might have to go back to my main computer to read but I wanted to read from a more relaxed place!

Since I hadn't read anything in depth on creating a playlist from my music library and moving it t the phone, I copied a bunch of music into Drop Box which comes up in Voice Dream. I'm not clear how Voice Dream works though I read the help file - only once. What is the best way to see everything in Drop box without having to look at that list of things that comes up when you open the app? For example, it says Folders, my folders, and other things but to get to Drop Box and Bookshare, you have to hit on the Add Tab. Is there a way to bypass that and have everything showing when you open up VD? Is that how the folders can be used? I'm having reading the Dresner files because I can't seem to get it to keep reading and hitting on net item means file. Something is set to 60 minute intervals but I can't see where to set it to just keep reading until I pause it. When I went to VD settings in Settings, it was empty, there was nothing to set and I believe that is due to the fact that there are options you can choose from within the app itself. I notice that people often send links to the links that are to podcasts on particular apps using vo. Someone sent a good one on downcast last week. What might be a good place for these sorts of podcasts? Deidre -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: Volume adjustments under iOS8
Have you tried turning off change withh buttons in settings and sounds. Sent from my iPhone On Jan 21, 2015, at 6:09 AM, Kimber Gardner kimbersinbox1...@gmail.com wrote: Hi All, I'm running the latest iOS on an iPhone 6 and have been noticing some odd behavior with regard to volume control. There are times when the volume of sounds gets very, very loud while the volume of other output like VO or music or audio books remains at the level to which I previously set it. If I attempt to adjust using the volume controls, only the audio and VO are changed while the volume of the sounds remains uncomfortably loud. This is especially disruptive when I'm using headphones. The only way to fix the issue seems to be to turn off the sounds altogether. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Is there some way to adjust the various volume levels independently one from another?

Re: I Tunes radio music sampler
Are you referring to featured stations? I don't see the iTunes sampler.

What I want to do has to do with the play more like this and never play this one again buttons. You hit on a like button from the main page, I think, then when you get to the buttons I just mentioned, they are all dimmed and can't be activated. I'd like to activate them and I'm sure that is something I need to join or buy in order to state those preferences. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Voice dream writer
I have just bought this new app for iPhone 5s running iOS 8.1.2 and, despite having various purchased voices in voice dream reader, voice dream writer only offers me iOS voices to choose from. I have contacted the developer but wondered meanwhile whether anyone else has noticed this or whether I am overlooking something obvious?
