Hi Mary,
I'm awfully sorry you've had all the problems with Voice Dream Reader. Your experience has cautioned me against turning on iCloud sync in Voice Dream and I just want to thank you for that. I've not had any problems with the app but I only use it on one device so iCloud sync is not something I need. I really hope you get it sorted and working to your satisfaction.

I almost did it last night, then got cold feet and figured I would wait to hear from Winston. I have also had that problem that you talked about where the speech goes away and text continues to scroll. Mostly, it's on my iPad. In fact, I can't remember a single instance since I got my 7+ of having it happen there. I thought it might have to do with a slower iPad plus less memory and the iPad. But of course I don't know.

Have you tried turning off iCloud sync off for both devices, then enabling it on your iPhone, for a day or two while keeping it off on your iPad for that time, then turning it back on after those two days? Just a thought. It might just joggle things in to place. I'm so sorry you've been having so many issues with VDR. I have some issues with it stopping reading, but the text continuing to scroll, and then the voice starting up again seconds later. I wrote Winston about this, and he recommended deleting and reinstalling the library. I haven't done this so far, because I have a big library, like you. I hardly ever delete anything, and I have most things in folders. I'm kind of nervous to find out what will happen to my library after deleting it and bringing it back with iCloud sync. Anyhow, I really hope you get things sorted. Thanks, Ari On Nov 3, 2016, at 8:48 PM, Mary Otten <[email protected]> wrote: Good idea. Since we got the new text selection and copy features back in iOS 9, I have really not thought about that clipboard copy feature. I never really used it much anyway. But this would be a good time for it. If Winston doesn't understand what I'm talking about with my approximation, I will definitely send him the exact message. It's easy to duplicate, since I have a lot of books and they are all displaying this problem. I can not understand why bunches of books that all look just fine all have the same problem. I can't believe I have that bad of a connection over that much time.

You could, of course, use one of your iDevices to record the message as Voiceover reads it on the other one.

So all I could do was send him an approximation. I guess I just don't have a voice dream reader luck. This app has been so much trouble ever since the big update. I just kind of wish I'd never gone there.

I updated Voice Dream when the update came out. I have had no issues like yours at all. They all read just fine. I know you will probably already have done this, but for sure send the error message to Winston and see if he has any idea what would cause that. It sounds like an incomplete download or a internet connection issue. But, that is speculating far out of my league.

I wonder if anyone has run across the following problem. If you are a book share user, and you have downloaded books before the most recent update, and you have iCloud sink in abled, what happens if you try to open a book share book which looks like it should be OK according to the listing in voice dream reader. That is, your book says the title and the author and the fact that it is a daisy book and 0% read, assuming you haven't read any of it. Double tap on this, and you get an error message saying that the file something about metadata is not available and therefore cannot be saved. Well I'm not trying to save anything, I just want to read the book. If you hit OK on that error message, you still can't read the book. I'm sorry but this is ridiculous. This app used to be very very reliable. Then we got iCloud sink, which for some of us was a disaster. So then I redid my entire library, and now it appears that most everything in there is going to be unusable because of some stupid error message. This is just not OK.
