I saw that option to select text within voice dream which I was surprised by
since sharing the text with others is against copyright laws according to
the long preface to all Bookshare downloads. Then, if as you are saying you
are simply highlighting and taking notes, those "fingerprints" (or do they
call them "watermarks") don't come into play! On my computer I do what you
do all the time. Using the phone and VD will be interesting, but then I'll
have to see how the clipboard works. So many things to explore!

To add a little to this, if the book comes directly from the publisher, as I
understand it, there is no scanning involved. They donate the electronic
copy of the book, so unless there are mistakes in the printed version, you
will not find any in the "publisher quality" books on Bookshare.

I personally have found a lot of books that I prefer reading with Voice
Dream than listening to the human read audio voice. It is great being able
to highlight passages and then export those highlights to a text file so I
have the ability to discuss the book with others and have notes taken
directly from the book.

Voice Dream is easily my favorite and most used app.

Hi Terry, Anyone with a print disability is eligible to access the
books on BookShare. It is a wonderful service. Many of the books are
donated by publishers and the scans are of the highest quality, and an
advantage of accessing books via BookShare is that often one can
retrieve a book on or near its first date of publication. It's such a
terrific service. We are lucky to have it available to us!
