Re: Navigating by page/discovering page number in Voice Dream Reader?
Hi Phil, Thanks for the info. I’ve trid a different book now.which does work properly with page numbers and navigation so itmust be the particular book not having the page info embedded which is a shame. I will have to try reading it a different way on my computer instead I think. Thanks for all the help with Voice Dream Reader, I’m making better use of it now in any case.

Re: Navigating by page/discovering page number in Voice Dream Reader?
Not all EPUB books have that information. They can be very very plain, or very highly stylized depending on the author. Some books have chapters and headings and highlights and page numbers, others have some combination thereof or even none of the above. It really does depend on the author. If your navigation options don’t show page then that is an indication that this EPUB or whatever format book does not have page information embedded.

Re: Navigating by page/discovering page number in Voice Dream Reader?
Hi Kerry, all, H, what a puzzle. I updated to the latest version of Voice Dream Reader just in case that was making a difference but still with this epub book, no ability to move by page and no information about the page I'm on. In the Navigation Units I have Bookmark, Highlight, Heading, Paragraph, Sentence, 60 seconds, 30 seconds and 15 seconds but no Page. And in the info about where I am, I just have a percentage and what seem to be estimates of the amount of time already read and that remaining. I wonder if it's something about this particular book. Has anyone any suggestions of sources of any epub books I could just try out to see if they work better? Also, has anyone any other suggestions as to how I could go about reading an epub on the iphone, being able to copy/paste from the book and realise which page I'm on for the sake of referencing in an academic document? Perhaps I could try converting the epub to text but I'm not sure whether that would retain the page numbering information...

Re: Navigating by page/discovering page number in Voice Dream Reader?
It depends on the kind of document you’re reading. If the document is just a text file, then there will be no page navigation option. Only if the document is an E pub dock or some other format that has headings and page information embedded in the file itself will there be navigation options for page etc. Sent from my IPhone > On Oct 20, 2020, at 10:03 AM, Kerryann Ifill wrote: > > Hi again, > > I found page on the navigation unit lit right after paragraph, so not sure > why yours is being naughty. > > As to discovering the page number, if you flick past the length of time > remaining in the document you’re currently reading, you will hear a bit about > which page you’r eon and how many pages there ar eint he document.

Re: Navigating by page/discovering page number in Voice Dream Reader?
Hi again, I found page on the navigation unit lit right after paragraph, so not sure why yours is being naughty. As to discovering the page number, if you flick past the length of time remaining in the document you’re currently reading, you will hear a bit about which page you’r eon and how many pages there ar eint he document. Now this does not mean that you will know which page of the book you’re on. What I mean is that your document may have 25 physical pages, but the first 3 may be roman numerals and page 4 is in actuality page 1 if you take my meaning. Others may have better advice for you onthisone, but hope I’ve started some wheels turning.

Navigating by page/discovering page number in Voice Dream Reader?
Hi, In Voice Dream Reader, is it possible to navigate by page and/or find out what page number I'm currently reading? I read somewhere that navigation by page was possible but "page" isn't in the available list of navigation units when I swipe up and down on the "navigation unit" button. This is an epub file.
