Yeah, EchoBox Player does it… try it out, it is free and Voice Over friendly 
because the developer is also blind.

Is there an audiobook player that allows for speeding up books? This would be a 
must for me.

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.
