Re: Issues with Voice Dream Reader and downloading certain books from Bookshare.

['Richard Turner' via VIPhone]

Ari, I am attempting to cc Voice Dream support with this message. I just did the same search for "card game" Out of the 100 or so results, there were only a couple that had no download option after the title/author. It was  The weekly card game, Antoni Jach The rest had the word download after them. It didn't say "button", but double tapping on it downloaded whatever book had Download after it. I'm not sure why you are having these issues, but only Voice Dream support will be able to sort it out.

I just did a search a couple days ago for card game and found tons of books, and like 99% of them were not downloadable. This is really irritating me now.

I told my phone to save that message as a draft, not to send it, so I'm not sure what happened. Anyhow, what I was trying to say is that I have an iCloud Plus subscription, and when I checked how much was being used, I was told this: 134.9 GB of 200 GB Used When I checked the storage available on my 256 GB iPhone 14 Pro, I was told this: Available 85.21 GB I've also updated to iOS 18.5, and a couple months ago, I tried deleting and redownloading the app.   I'm not sure why VDR is throwing a fit. It's totally frustrating!     Thanks, Ari On Jul 24, 2025, at 9:04 AM, Arianna Sepulveda <englishride...@gmail.com> wrote:  Does Voice Dream Reader have a limit on the number of stuff you can have?

I've run into issues with Voice Dream reader when I'm wanting to download, in particular audio files, but not only, and I have had that message, and I think with me it was that I didn't have enough storage for Voice Dream to process the download. just a thought, when I cleared some of the stuff out of my boy stream files, I then could download.

There are quite a few books on Bookshare that I can't download with Voice Dream Reader. I'll go search for, say, Exploring J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, and it comes up just fine in the search results, but the download button is literally not spoken by VoiceOver. It's in the flick order and can be activated, but it's not spoken. That's the first weird thing. If I tap on the button anyhow, I get the following message: "The book you're trying to download isn't available in a format Voice Dream supports." This is absolutely not true, as I've downloaded this book before, and I asked a friend to try downloading it and it worked just fine for him. I've seen this issue pop up with a lot more books than just that right, unfortunately.   I've tried the usual stuff--closing and reopening the app, restarting my phone, and even deleting and reinstalling the app. I haven't done a factory reset of my phone, though.   This issue is extremely frustrating and I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered it.     Thanks, Ari   -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.   If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself.   Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.  Mark can be reached at:  mk...@ucla.edu.  Your list owner is Cara Quinn - you can reach Cara at caraqu...@caraquinn.com   The archives for this list can be searched at: http://www.mail-archive.com/viphone@googlegroups.com/ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "VIPhone" group.
