I’d expect this subscription could pay for things like new audio formats like ogg could be played. Also maybe newer voices like those from Microsofft. Take a chance and see what happens. I wish people weren’t so picky. I will support voice dream reader and I really hope others will do so as well. I am looking forward to the future of the app if people will stop whineing and pay for the app. It really does a lot of great stuff. If you want something that works well, sometimes you have to pay for it.

Hi Group,
The Book Share program itself now has its own app. It is free and
while a bit limited, it does read book share books quite well and
the recent addition of a bookmark feature makes it usable in that
limited context.

You guys
are forgetting about the "Dolphin Easy Reader" app; which has a
Bookshare interface. It's free, thus I plan to use it even more if
Voice Dream ends up being subscriptiononly. Good luck!

Thanks for the clarification. I never get
audiobooks from books share, so book player I don’t care. Kind
of sucks. I still think I should be able to download stuff as
long as I don’t try to upgrade. You can always do that with
everything else. If I have an apple device for instance, and
it’s not getting updates anymore I can still use it. This kind
of stinks from that aspect. They shouldn’t cut us off from
being able to download anything from Bookshare because we
don’t want to pay. What if we don’t give a good bloody damn
about whatever they think they’re going to implement that
we’re going to pay for. I’m not happy about that. But it’s
the best thing out there so far. God knows the garbage from
speech central doesn’t get it done. It’s too bad.

BookPlayer is an audio only player. It
plays zipped files, MP3, M4A, and M4B. You can get it
from the following link.

I tend to agree with you, Richard.
What is book player if you know? I had never heard
of bookplayer app. There is no way I’m going to
speech Central. It’s just too clunky. If he did what
he’s been asked to do and implemented an easy way to
download bookshare books right through the app, Then
I would possibly reconsider. But I don’t give two
figures for all that fancy Voice stuff he’s doing.
I’m perfectly happy with what I have now.

I have not
updated today.
But, if anyone
wants to go back and look at what
Winston Chen had said when he sold
Voice Dream LLC., he made it clear
that he would have had to begin
charging a subscription to be able
to maintain development and he had
already started the Mac version as a
subscription.
$59 a year seems
perfectly reasonable to me if you
want the app to continue.
You can always
dump it for DAISY Easy Reader or
Speech Central and deal with much
harder interfaces and keep it free…
