What I usually do with the tone setting on both my NLS player and now on my iPhone bard mobile app is to set the tone one step below normal and leave it there. This provides just a little bit of bass to my audio books. On 10/17/19, R Van Lant wrote: > I also adjust the tone on BARD at times, as

I also adjust the tone on BARD at times, as some of my headphones muffle the sound more than others and sometimes the narrator voice seems too shrill in earbuds. My biggest challenge with narrated books is that the narrator often changes the volume when speaking and that can be hard when

Hello, Now that you have confirmed the VoiceOver accessability of the playback feature, I will definitely buy a title as I am truly amazed at the low, low prices of titles. One thing I love about the BARD app, is its built-in equalizer. Being able to adjust the tone of the narration truly

I have Chirp installed and the app is accessible. I haven't listened to more than a minute of a book, but find the app really simple so far. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Mich Verrier Sent: Sunday, October 13, 2019 3:40 PM To:

Hi Mark, I know Two different people who have used the Churp app and they both said it was accessible. This was a few months ago, and I haven’t personally tried the Churp app as I haven’t found a book I want to purchase yet. HTH, Christina Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 13, 2019, at 1:38 PM,

After doing a bit of research it would seem that AudioBooks.com is very much mimicking what obviously has been successful for Audible. They offer a $14.95 a month subscription which gives you 1 credit just as with Audible. One review which is a few years old mentioned that you can buy

I have to check again, but last time I looked they did not offer the all at once purchase and neither did they offer the Platinum, 2-credit a month subscription for $22.95. But between my credits and the daily deal books as well as the occasional extra promotion I usually find enough. I also

The library still doesn't have some of the stuff audible has. I love audible and just got a gold member ship for half off. I will most likely get 2 credits a month once the half off ends. On 10/13/19, Richard Turner wrote: > Sieghard, > In Canada do they allow you to buy the Gold membership at

Sieghard, In Canada do they allow you to buy the Gold membership at once? I have in the past paid $149 for 12 credits, which is usually 12 books, which comes out to about $12.50 per book and you can use them anytime, rather than just once a month. Since our National Library Service is getting

I think between our free library services and Audible one has a pretty good choice of books. If you can afford $14.95 a month for an Audible Canada membership you then have also access to their daily deal books which are anywhere between $3 to $7 or so Canadian and while not all are books which

Hello Mark. I know the e mail that you are talking about chirp and also the books that they offer. I should point out that this seems to be only for people who live in the US and so if people live out side of the US like in Canada I am ot shure if you are able to pay for the books or not. I
