I haven't tried any of the new text selection stuff nor the playing of
mp3 books because I've not found a source for instructions on these new
features. The help file that is part of the app says it is for v2.6. I
haven't tried the devs web site yet however. If anyone knows how to get
mp3 audio books into VDR I'd like to know. I'm sure it has to do with
using Dropbox which is fine but not sure how it handles books with
multiple mp3 files. I'm guessing one creates some sort of play list but
not sure.
I haven't had any trouble so far but as I said, haven't tried the text
selection stuff that someone reported here.
Best Regards,

Hi, no idea. It can't play any sort of DRM protected books. So, it
depends on which kinds of daisy books. You might want to drop a line to
the developer and ask. He's very good about responding.

Do you think this app will ever be able to play audio Daisy books? I
would love to be able to access and copy books across from drop box
and play them right inside this app.
Thanks

I haven't tried it just yet, but this latest update promises to be a
very nice one for sure. The below are the changes in the latest
version which I just saw in the App Store. At the end of the message
is a link to the app for those who may not know what Voice Dream
Reader is so you can find out for yourself.

What's New in Version 2.9.0
Posted Oct 23, 2013
This major release significantly improves usability for VoiceOver
users:
- Incredibly easy-to-use text selection mechanism. Copy to clipboard,
lookup words
in the dictionary, highlight, and add your own notes.
- Extensive use of new and innovative "swipe-enabled" buttons for
VoiceOver users.
Swipe the Voice Settings button to change the speed rate. Rewind and
Fast Forward
are built into the Play-Pause button as up and down swipes.
- The text slider that moves the speech cursor by 5% has been
modified so that swiping
up moves toward the beginning of the text. The directions have been
reversed from
previous releases so that it now behaves the same way as the other
swipe-enabled
controls. For iOS 7, you can double tap the slider to enter a percent
value.
Plus delicious goodies for everyone:
- Experimental support for MP3 audio books. Yes, it remembers where
you leave off
just like text. And you make add bookmarks.
- Pronunciation dictionary import and export. View the entire
pronunciation dictionary
in an editable text window, allowing editing, copying, and pasting,
plus exporting
to another app like Dropbox and share it with others via email.
- Launching Voice Dream Reader from Mobile Safari. Create a bookmark
with the following
URL. Next time you select this bookmark, it'll open the current web
page in Voice
Dream Reader:
javascript:window.location="com.voicedream.reader://open?url="+window.location
- Change speech rate on the fly with two-finger up or down swipes.
(Not for VoiceOver
users).
- Fixed several problems with using iOS 7 built-in voices.
- A lot of the minor improvements and bug fixes.
