I agree, I'm not a fan of the Acapella voices either. All the apps I know of that use them have that same restriction. So you can end up with several copies of Heather or Ryan on your device, simply because each app has to have its own copy. Yes, it's wasteful, but it's the standard way of offering an app with a built-in TTS engine. I'm one of those weird people who prefers to read using HQ Samantha. However, an even better reason for not using Read2Go's voices is that the books cannot be read in Braille. Now that I have a Focus 14, I can read books in Braille wherever I go. This is extremely liberating.

The only reason they did it that way is so you have to use there voices which suck. ----- Original Message ----- From: David Chittenden<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Friday, May 17, 2013 5:01 AM Subject: Re: Read2Go on an iPhone 5 Yep, and when you set it to section rather than page, you only change at the end of each section.

I am very glad we have the ability to use VoiceOver, to enable us to use VoiceOver's navigation features, and to know how to spell words if need be. However, having to advance it page by page like that, and having it read the menu at the bottom of the page? No. In my opinion, the designers of Read To Go meant it to be used primarily with its own voices. It flows better with them.

I prefer it to the other voices and I like using the gestures to control my reading. I feel the same about the twenty dollars for read 2 go... Its worth it just for all their good work.

I use the Acapella voices, and never have had a problem with its crashing. This is on an iPhone 5 64 gig. I tried using VoiceOver once, and quickly concluded that it was more trouble than it was worth to have to advance it to the next page, or section myself. Being that I already have Read To Go, and don't mind using its Heather voice, I have not gotten Voice Dream. But I have heard very good things about it. If you decide to get Voice Dream and stop using Read To Go, just think of that $20 as a contribution to BookShare.

At first, I thought it was the book I was reading, which is long and not terribly well marked up. However, my mother just read the same book on her 4S and the app never crashed once. I'm also wondering if it has to do with the large number of books I've downloaded, though that doesn't make much sense. BTW, I forgot to mention I'm reading using HQ Samantha instead of the Acapella voices.

I think it has something to do with the download of the book, although this is only a guess. Chuck (mobile) Pleez x cuze any tie ping or spelin airors.

Before I take the sledge hammer approach and uninstall and reinstall, I thought I'd ask if anyone else has been experiencing this. I download a book into Read2Go and start reading. A few sections in, when I tap the Next Section button, the app crashes. I open the app again, open the book, and try tapping Next Section again. It crashes every time. The only way I can progress through a book is to go to the table of contents and select the next section. Then I may be able to proceed by tapping Next Section once or twice, but eventually the app will always crash. I have an iPhone 5. My mother, who is reading the same book I am, has an iPhone 4S and isn't experiencing this issue at all. The reason I haven't already broken out the sledge hammer is that I have around one hundred books downloaded into the app and I'd like to avoid downloading them again if at all possible. If this is one of those quirks of the 5, I'll live with it, as it's not quite a show-stopper, though it does get annoying. Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.
