Re: Voice Dream Reader and browsing/downloading books?

[Gordan Radić]

Hi! 1. If you are reading using Voice Over, as you described you need to have your screen unlocked. If you are reading using he built in voices and the transport controls you can easily start playback, lock the screen, put the phone in your pocket and control the playback from the lock screen or headset. 2. Not using Bookshare so let someone else answer. S poštovanjem Gordan Radić 30.12.2015. u 6:09, R VanLant je napisao/la: Two additional questions on Voice Dream... 1) I'm curious of the advantages of using the built in speech option within Voice Dream as opposed to using the two finger swipe down and letting my normal IOS voice do the job. Other than being able to pick a different voice you may like better, what are the advantages that I'm not seeing yet to using the built in reader function? 2) Also, Bookshare used to offer a way to skim for New York Times best sellers on their site. Can you find that same search option somehow within Voice Dream? I didn't see if the other day when I was setting up my new Voice Dream. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Mary Otten Sent: Friday, December 25, 2015 8:26 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Voice Dream Reader and browsing/downloading books? Yes, you can add books from book share. From the home screen or from the folder to which you want to add your book share books, you should find an add button down in the lower left corner of your screen. Double tap that. Then double tap on book share which is also down in the lower left. You will then see a number of choices, starting at the top with the search, which lets you type in a search for a title or an author and then double tap the search button. You can also select category and then pick the category want, or latest, which gives you a long list of the latest books added to book share. You scroll through and Double tap the download button you find next to the title you want to download. Or, if you see a title you'd like more information on before downloading, double tap the title, and on the next screen, you will find a synopsis. If you decide you want the book, there is a download button near the top of that screen. If you don't want to, go back and resume you're scroll ing or search. Deleting books is easy. When you have books either in a folder that you're looking at or just on the main screen if you didn't make any folders and have books there, you can find the title you would like to delete, then just flick up with the rotor said to action, and you will be presented with the choice to delete like what happens in mail. Double tap and you're done. The book is gone. I can't answer your language question, as I have only read English books in this app. Mary Sent from my iPhone On Dec 25, 2015, at 5:32 AM, Gerardo Corripio <gera1...@gmail.com> wrote: Merry Christmas to everyone! For which Santa brought ny very paid IPhone app: Voice dream Reader! For which I wonder if can one browse and download Bookshare books? Or what's the purpose of as I already did, setting up one's Bookshare within the Voice Dream Reader App? Also has any of you recorded an audio demo on Voice Dream Reader? I want to get the most out of it! Yes I worked with the sample book provided, but among the questions aside from the browsing/downloading of books mentioned above 1-Some way to override Voice Dream's automatic detection, allowing one to manually set the book's reading voice to the correct language? Vecause the sample book is in Spanish, but Voice Dream reads it in English. And yes I've got Voice Dream Reader st of to for now while find a Spanish voice I like, to when encounterring Spanish texts, to use VO's default voice, and for English, to use the provided Heather voice, thus to discard the not having the Spanish voice. 2-Lastly for those books grabbed from our Dropbox (yes I too set up Dropbox with Voice Dream), if no Internet is available, can one continue reading the book within Voice Dream? 3-And finally (I just thought of it), how does one delete books off Voice Dream, taking into account Apple's inability to interact with iOS's file system? Thanks in advance for any useful tips and tricks as well as resolving the above questions. Gera Enviado desde mi iPhone -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
