No, ElevenReader by ElevenLabs does not use iCloud for its native cross-device 
synchronization. Instead, the app relies entirely on ElevenLabs' own cloud 
infrastructure and accounts to sync files, settings, and listening positions 
across iOS, Android, and the desktop web version via ElevenReader. BTW, I 
purchased Book Player Pro version years ago and consider it to be a nice app, 
but EchoBox is entirely free, voice over oriented, and developed by someone who 
understands accessibility from onset. I know there is a free Book Player 
version, but Book Player cannot play audio DAISI books while EchoBox does it 
natively, an the layout is much more simpler and intuitive. Folks who never 
tested out a subscription for ElevenReader don’t know what they are missing, 
just try it, New V4 expressive voices just arrived a few weeks ago. They are 
amazing to put it simply.

 

Cheers,

I’ll use book player for reading audio content and I don’t like 11 labs because 
they use iCloud when you are reading any documents from your phone. I checked 
out that echobox player and didn’t care for it very much.

Let's be honest: it was blind users who ruined Voice Dream Reader with the 
attitude of "give me everything I demand, but don't charge me for it." You get 
what you pay for — that's just how the market works.

 

If you want the features Voice Dream Reader offers, use it while it's still in 
the App Store, because I honestly think its days are numbered. No other app 
will give you that same bundle — ebooks, audiobooks, multiple sources, 
accessibility, cross-device sync — all for free.

 

Reading comes down to personal preference. If VDR officially goes away, I won't 
miss it. Right now I'm all in on ElevenReader with my Ultra subscription, and 
for audiobooks I use Echobox Player, which was actually designed by a blind 
user.

Subject: Accessible book reader

 

Dear Friends,

 

I hope all of you are well.  I am quite keen to know whether there is any 
accessible book reader with facility to use good voices but also is able to 
read audio books.  Actually, I am looking out for something like Voicedream 
Reader.  I feel that the Voicedream has been spoiled beyond repair and the 
people that matter are not even responding.   I will be grateful if someone 
could be kind enough and help. 

 

Thank you.
