Reading eBooks on the iPhone [was Re: BookMark the app]
Hi Glenn, You can have speech rate as one of your rotor options. If it's not already one of the rotor options go to Settings General Accessibility VoiceOver Rotor and make sure that Speech Rate is selected. Then, you can set the rotor to speech rate and flick down to lower the speech rate in 5% intervals. Voice Dream Reader has a slider setting that allows you to set the speech rates and selected voice individually for the books you are reading, which is another reason I like that app. By the way, the Bookmark app you got is designed for playing audiobooks and podcasts that are in the music app. If you want to learn more about it, you can read my archived list post from November 6: • Bookmark App for iOS is free today http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/msg22573.html HTH.

Just select the PDF eBook you want to transfer and use the export button. The other way you can handle this is by mailing the eBook as an attachment to yourself.

I highly recommend getting Voice Dream Reader while it is on sale for half price ($4.99 instead of $9.99 through this Sunday), because it will handle all the document formats you mention (not just PDF, but text and RTF files, ePub, DAISY 2.02, etc.) and let you set up separate voices and voice speeds for each book, as well as remember your place, and many other features, including direct downloads from Bookshare (if you are a member) and searches from Gutenberg. • Voice Dream Reader - Text to Speech (on sale for $4.99, regularly $9.99) by Voice Dream LLC https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/voice-dream-reader-text-to/id496177674?mt=8 This app is only infrequently on sale, and is so worth it!

Guys, there's a little something you all may be forgetting. BTW, sorry. I changed the subject line to better reflect the topic.

RE: Reading EBooks on an IPod.
The issue I had with Ibooks was that I cannot use it with the screen locked. This meant I had to sit still and listen to books rather than just sticking the IPod in my pocket and doing jobs whilst I listen to books. I would be very happy to hear tips on getting around this problem with Ibooks but this limitation is why I quickly abandoned it. Also the Acapella voices are far superior on voice Dream Weaver. So far I have not found anything I do not like about voice Dream Weaver, especially now I have learnt how to download directly from Dropbox, Gutenberg etc within the application. I am new to IOS though, so I am sure that there are other products out there. I think Voice Dream weaver supports just about every unprotected text file type including Microsoft PDF, Iworks formats including Pages Keynote presentations etc.. The one downside of the app is that you cannot access the text directly to do things like use the dictionary select and copy text whilst voiceover is on. For that you will need to use another app, possibly Ibooks. I am using Voice dream Weaver to read novels etc so that is not really an issue for me.

RE: Reading EBooks on an IPod.
I think this might depend on format. I did hear chapters announced in a Epub book I was listening to but this may just be reading out the contents of the book. I suspect that even if it can you may have to turn voiceover off to do this. I will have to check. The help files say that they are working hard to remove the editing text restrictions that voiceover users currently have and hope to update the app in future but there is limited interaction with the text at the moment for voiceover users. For me that is less important than the ability to listen to text on the move. This app basically converts text books into virtual audio books because of the high quality reading. What is definitely does have and works well is 1. Fast forward and rewind button. This jumps forward and backwards 30 seconds . 2. A navigation slide bar. This seems to jump forward and backwards through the book in sections of 10% but I am not that experienced at using slide bars so a more precise movement may be possible. 3. I think you can also type a percentage location in but I have not tried that yet. 4. Bookmarking. 5. Remembers last book played and position in text.

This is with the UK App store and I cannot find this App. Is it spelt correctly or are you getting is from a different App store? It looks like a very useful App so I would like to install it. Many thanks.

Hello David, I have tried to find the Voicestream app via the iTunes App store on my iMac so that I can later transfer it to my iPhone 3GS. This is with the UK App store and I cannot find this App. Is it spelt correctly or are you getting is from a different App store? It looks like a very useful App so I would like to install it.
