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.
