Re: Voice Dream Writer Review and Description
It's a bug and will be fixed in an update due to be released next week. I believe in the description that it states that voices in Voice Dream Reader are not supported in Writer except for the iOS voices.

Supported Markdown syntax: • Headings. Use # (number sign) at the beginning of a paragraph for Headings. Number of # (number signs) is the heading level. These acts are markers that allow you to navigate the document easily using the Outline. VoiceOver users can jump to these markers using the cursor tool. When you export as a Word document, for example, these become styled as headings. • Lists. (minus sign) at the beginning of a paragraph to denote a bulleted list, and a number followed by a period and a space denote a numbered list. If you'll ultiamtely export the document to HTML, RTF or Word, the numbers will be generate in the right sequence. • Italics. Surround a word or phrase with asterisk to italicize it. • Bold.

Re: Voice Dream Writer Review and Description
The numbers don't matter. you could have them out of order, or all the same number, it makes no difference. The important thing is to have some number, a period, a space, then your list item.

It is indeed. In UEB and, I believe, contracted braille, the number sign for numbers is 3-4-5-6. However, as you don't want numbers, use 4-5-6, 1-5-6-7 instead.

RE: Voice Dream Writer Review and Description
Ah. What is confusing here is this. You can create an ordered list by using 1 and a period and a space at the beginning of each list item. You don’t have to use 2, 3, 4, etc. This way when you want to insert a number, you go to where you want to insert the item and do another number 1 and a period followed by a space and the item. What tricked me up is that this doesn’t read well in the writer itself. All the items show up as Number 1. However, as the help file says, if you export this to html, rtf, etc. then the lists will read with consecutive numbers and the inserted ones are numbered correctly for that sequence.

Re: Voice Dream Writer Review and Description
Here is the section from the help file that is a brief introduction to what he has included in the Writer app. I hope this helps. Formatting Voice Dream Writer supports a subset of Markdown, a quick way to format the text in your document on a mobile device without any of the complications of a full-blown Word Processor. Supported Markdown syntax: • Headings. Use # (number sign) at the beginning of a paragraph for Headings. Number of # (number signs) is the heading level. These acts are markers that allow you to navigate the document easily using the Outline. VoiceOver users can jump to these markers using the cursor tool. When you export as a Word document, for example, these become styled as headings. • Lists. (minus sign) at the beginning of a paragraph to denote a bulleted list, and a number followed by a period and a space denote a numbered list. If you'll ultiamtely export the document to HTML, RTF or Word, the numbers will be generate in the right sequence. • Italics. Surround a word or phrase with asterisk to italicize it. • Bold. Surround a word or phrase with 2 asterisks to bold it. Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Another feature which I like about the app which wasn't mentioned by Richard is that it includes a thesaurus. This is an excellent app for students.

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.

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?

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.
