When you do this conversion, does it transfer the book title and author? I've run across some epub books that have been converted this way. On my stream it won't speak the book title or author when I move across the bookshelf.

Hi.
Though I agree that Calibre is an excellent book manager, its GUI is
not accessible to any screen reader. However, it can be used to
convert books from mobi to epub through the command line, which is
accessible. See
http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/cli/ebook-convert.html
for instructions. I have a Pithon script which, when a mobi file is
clicked, will convert the file to Epub and put it in a temporary
directory. If anyone wants this, let me know.

I don't have any plans to support mobi at the moment. You can use Calibre to
manage and convert all your eBook file formats. Calibre is free and a good
piece of software.

Will this app support reading books in the mobi format?

I'm going to do this (speaking and spelling the selected word) in the next
two releases.

Are you also going to make it possible for VoiceOver users to know what the text is that we are touching? That would help for the definition function,
etc.

Thanks,

It is possible to set a bookmark with VO on, but it's a little clunky right now. You need to press the text area and hold for a second. And then you'll have the option to Define, Bookmark and Highlight. A bookmark is always set
at the beginning of the paragraph you'll on. A highlight is set on the
sentence. So even it is imprecise because you'll see the exact Word you're
pressing, in the end it'll be close enough. Once you set a bookmark, you
can
go back to it using the Bookmark menu, which lets you navigate to a
autogenerated chapter, bookmark, or highlight.

I'm going to add a "Bookmark" button in the next release so you can set a
Bookmark at the speech cursor without having to invoke the context menu by
long press.

Winston.

Thanks Winston, I figured you had gotten it but were busy with other things
so it's cool. Glad to know that a lot of folks are using it, I have found
the bookmarks chapter marks and such very usable for navigation and have
used this since I have gotten it more than read2go because it does
recognize
more formats, and has more voices with everything. Keep up the great work
and I hope to see some great things from you guys in the future. I noticec
the textbox and that is handy. The only thing is, how does one set
bookmarks
in a particular book, or is it possible with voiceover yet. I can get to
all
the bookmarks that are automatically generated but didn't know if I could
set my own. I haven't explored the chapter marks yet and was wondering if
that is a separate setting or how that works, but I use a lot of the
automatically  generated bookmarks to navigate with now which is nice.
Anyway, thanks again for getting back to me, and keep up the great work.
I'm
recommending it to not only blind and visually impaired patrons of mine
since I work for the Library for the Blind here in Alabama, but I am also
recommending it to students with learning disabilities that are on
bookshare
and even if they're not to use the app because of all it does provide for
the price especially. I'm hooked and hope to see more great updates and
features as you can. Thanks for a great product and keep up the great work.
Take care and talk to you soon.

Hi,

Yes I did get your email. I'm thinking through text navigation of the
text
area right now. I don't want to rush to a solution yet. I can't just turn
on
VO support because I built the text box myself in order to handle very
large
text.

Quite a few blind users are using my app happily now, using a combination
of chapter marks, bookmarks, text search, and manual scrolling.

Best,

Winston.

Dear Friends,
I have purchased a few voices in the app but it asks me to use ViFi
which I don't have.  I can connect my Iphone 4S to my laptop and
connect to the internet.  Using Itunes can I download these voices?
If so how? Please do let me know.
Thank you.
Ketan
