I also experience this issue with having to press the play/pause button but with the iOS female voice. I either use her or James as I've found them to be the most reliable for overall pronunciation. For whatever reason, I don't' have a problem with starting speech when using James either by pressing the play/pause button or the two finger double tap.
It goes without saying, the app is great and is my prefered reading tool for non-audiobooks. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sandratomkins Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2014 2:20 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: voice dream virsus read 2 go Hi Winston, First of all, let me say that I love Voice Dream reader. However, since the latest update, I have been experiencing great difficulty when using the app. I should explain that I listen to books, when I am reading in English, using Daniel the voice-over voice. My problem occurs when I try to pause or restart the reading. I tend to have to either press the pause/play button three times all make the two finger double tap, also, three times, before anything happens. Plus, when I restart reading, I find the cursor has moved on quite a long way through the text. So, I wonder, are you looking into this? Or, perhaps, it is only me and I will have to try to reinstall the app?
