Hi, I'm the developer of Voice Dream Reader. You're right: text navigation with VoiceOver on needs work. I'm thinking through this problem carefully and will have a good solution soon. For now, you can do a search in the text to find the Title, for example, and make a bookmark there. I know making a bookmark requires the imprecise long-press on the screen. It may help to know that when it navigates to a piece of text through search, the text is about one quarter down from the top of the screen. My goal is for you to do everything around long-running content with one text to speech readers. I think we'll get there soon. Best, Winston.
