Hi. Just got voice dream reader and have downloaded a couple of voices I like. I have worked out how to add a bookshare book. What I'm wondering is how do I rewind and fastforward the text with voice over? If I double tap and hold on the adjustible slider it seems to change, but If I just swipe up or down with one finger the text keeps reading. the rewind and fastforward buttons seem to take me to the previous and next thing I was reading. Also, I was wondering if files that are put in drop box need to be zipped? thanks.
