Cards are sent via email, and you have to have a PayPal account, and the code 
goes to your PayPal email address.

 Subject: Discounted iTunes gift cards on eBay today only
 
 Today only, you can get $100 gift card for $80 on eBay. I believe it is 
 offered through PayPal. I just bought one, and it sent me to PayPal to make 
 the payment. That is about the best deal I ever see on iTunes gift cards, 20% 
 off. They also have $50 gift card for $40, if 80 is too rich for your blood. 
 Good luck.

Siri directly dials spoken phone numbers

2015-02-24 Thread Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D.
OK, so this may already be known to the whole world, but it's new to me as of 
today. Just passing it on in case there's someone else out there who didn't 
know.

Press and hold the Home button, speak the phone number, and Siri will dial it.

Until now, I've been entering the phone numbers directly via the keypad, if the 
number wasn't already listed in my Contacts.

Yes, Siri is handy that way. You can even do numbers without saying the digits, 
such as dial one eight hundred five five five three thousand and it will do 
it.

 Hello all,
 I recently did update voice dream reader, because it was necessary to 
 update that before updating boy stream writer. I subsequently decided to 
 purchase the new Ashley voice using my iPhone. All went well, and the 
 voice works as expected.
 Now, I have updated voice dream reader on my iPad, and installed a couple 
 of my favorite voices. However, the Ashley voice did not show up as having 
 been purchased. And, when I look under and voices, I see Ashley, and it 
 asks me to purchase it again. I have never had this problem in the past. 
 Voices purchased on one device were always transferable to another device 
 by simply downloading them under the manage my voices tap. Has anyone 
 purchased a voice since updating voice dream reader? And have you been 
 able to get that voice on more than one device?

Copying Photos from iPhone to a Windows 7 Machine

2015-02-24 Thread Craig Werner
Hello, everyone.

Whenever I want to copy photos from my iPhone 5 to my Windows 7
machine, I plug in my iPhone, select Computer, navigate to my
iPhone, and right-click to use the option to copy photos.  The
pictures not yet copied to the computer end up in My Pictures with a
default filename corresponding to the date I initiated the copy
process.  However, I know there's a way to copy pictures without
right-clicking.  I should be able to plug the iPhone into the Windows
computer and locate the folder in which pictures reside.  As many of
you know, the photos folder is one of the few places readable by
Windows 7.  At any rate, I can locate the folder with its cryptic
name, but all the files in it display a value of 0 bytes, which, of
course, is not true.  This oddity makes copying impossible using this
method.  Can anyone imagine what is going on here?

Thank you for all help.

Craig

Yes, and even a full-size  iPad makes for a pretty tiny map considering that 
a good world map on paper is about 48 by 30 inches, that makes for a 
diagonal of just over 56 inches (almost 5 feet) which is a big difference to 
the 9.7 inches of an iPad!

Hello guys again,

I’ve been playing with my talking atlas app between shoveling snow off my 
sidewalk and deck. It is 32 degrees here in Northern Vermont for the first 
time in over a month.



There is a very accessible trivia game that proves my ignorance. I can’t 
wait until the grandchildren come over for dinner this evening and I can see 
if I know more than a fifth grader.

  I do not think it could work well on an IPhone because one of the most 
interesting features is moving your finger over the world map and having the 
oceans and countries named. Many of the countries are small and my fingers 
are large.



I found it is best using the app with voice over turned off.  Two finger 
swipes up and down gets you to the menus and a two finger swipe to the right 
or left moves you through the choices. A double tap selects the item.



I had problems getting back to the main menu so I pressed the home button, 
opened the app switcher and closed talking atlas completely. then when I 
opened the app again I could get to the settings and store menu. Unless you 
want maps of India, there are no other choices.

Of the few countries I checked out, there is an extensive history list of 
important dates. Other information can be found out for free on apps like 
World facts.  But this app plays the national anthem of every country and 
describes the flag completely.



There is another great option: choose a country like Japan, put your finger 
on the map and it will tell you to go, north, go east, go east, go south, 
until, Congratulations, you found Japan.  A really fun way to find out where 
countries are located. An for this American, if it doesn’t have a MacDonalds 
or a Wal-Mart, I probably don’t know where it is on the map.

What can i actually say to Siri?

2015-02-24 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi,
Well i’ve been very conservative when it came to using Siri for various 
reasons, but i figured some time i have to learn how to use her/it. Is there 
some place i could learn about the various siri commands, which i understand 
are quite a few or how do i go about there?

Re: very bad fb app update

2015-02-24 Thread Davy Cuppns
Hey Rose 
So glad there are other people with this issue. I will contact the fb 
disability team about this. I've never had these sudden crashes since the 
latest fb app update. Difficult to reproduce but for me it seems that most 
people who don.t see the issue have very recent and rather small fb profiles 
with rather few friends on it. I have around 250 friends, most sighted ones 
posting and sharing lots of photos or graphical items, maybe there is a problem 
with voiceover to cope with these items after the bad upgrade?
Regards 
Davy

Re: Issue with newly purchased voice on voice dream reader

Hi. My issue is that when I updated vdr and vdw and got the voices, they work 
in vdr, but not in VDW. Does anyone know why this is? I'd rather not redownload 
the voices, as they cannot be downloaded on the school wifi network for some

 purchase the new Ashley voice using my iPhone. All went well, and the 
 voice works as expected.
 Now, I have updated voice dream reader on my iPad, and installed a couple 
 of my favorite voices. However, the Ashley voice did not show up as having 
 been purchased. And, when I look under and voices, I see Ashley, and it 
 asks me to purchase it again. I have never had this problem in the past. 
 Voices purchased on one device were always transferable to another device 
 by simply downloading them under the manage my voices tap. Has anyone 
 purchased a voice since updating voice dream reader? And have you been 
 able to get that voice on more than one device?

RE: Issue with newly purchased voice on voice dream reader

2015-02-24 Thread Rose Combs
Alex is okay for a while, then I go back to Samantha even though I do wish she 
would get rid of that smoker's voice.  I guess it is just that I am used to 
her, don't like her much but it has been on my phone forever, sometimes hear 
Alex especially if I am working and in the zone can startle me.  I remember one 
of the first times I wondered who the man was that sounded like he was in my 
pocket, LOL.  If I am reading with Kindle or iBooks I sort of prefer Alex, but 
for normal stuff I am used to Samantha.  I could wish we had more choices here 
in America, I am not overly fond of British  English or anything like that when 
I am trying to get something accomplished, they are fun to play with, for me 
not to get anything accomplished.  

However, it subjective, and it may be that normally I have my speech going 
faster than many would.

 Sorry to have to revisit this topic, but I am sure someone will have the
 answer, so please indulge me for a moment.

 I'm using iTunes 12 and Jaws 15 and I want to view the contents of my iTunes
 library organized by album. Could someone explain for me how to accomplish
 this? No matter what I try, I can't seem to see any category other than
 songs.

 Also, if there is a good podcast for using iTunes 12 with Jaws I would

 Subject: Issue with newly purchased voice on voice dream reader
 
 
 Hello all,
 I recently did update voice dream reader, because it was necessary to 
 update that before updating boy stream writer. I subsequently decided to 
 purchase the new Ashley voice using my iPhone. All went well, and the 
 voice works as expected.
 Now, I have updated voice dream reader on my iPad, and installed a couple 
 of my favorite voices. However, the Ashley voice did not show up as 
 having been purchased. And, when I look under and voices, I see Ashley, 
 and it asks me to purchase it again. I have never had this problem in the 
 past. Voices purchased on one device were always transferable to another 
 device by simply downloading them under the manage my voices tap. Has 
 anyone purchased a voice since updating voice dream reader? And have you 
 been able to get that voice on more than one device?
 Mary

RE: What can i actually say to Siri?

2015-02-24 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Using SIRI for things like seting an alarm, appointment or reminder is really 
where you benefit a lot. It's just so much easier to say Set my alarm for 6 
AM or Wake me up a 6 AM than it is to unlock your phone, open the Clock app, 
go to the Alarm tab and do this manually. You can even ask her to show you the 
alarms you have and if you have one for 6 AM and you want it to be 7 AM just 
tell her Change my 6 AM alarm to 7 AM.

As for reminders it is just as easy. Remind me to... For example, Remind me 
to take the garbage out at 8 AM every Tuesday will set a recurring reminder 
for this. 

Sometimes it' easier to do it in 2 steps, for example if I have a dentist 
appointment on April 15 at 10 AM and I want to set a reminder for the evening 
before, I do it this way:

I activate SIRI and say Set a reminder for April 14 at 8 PM
SIRI will then ask me what I want the reminder to say and beep again indicating 
that I can speak. I then say Dentist appointment tomorrow morning at 10 AM.
Then SIRI repeats it all back to me and asks if I want to create the reminder, 
I say Yes and it's done.

If you Google What can I say to SIRI or What can SIRI do or stuff like that 
you'll find a ton of good articles with lots of examples and that information 
would be much more comprehensive than asking SIRI for help or SIRI, what can 
you do or whatever.

Another awesome use of SIRI is for word definitions or Wikipedia lookups. You 
can say Define followed by the word you want defined or Search Wikipedia 
for followed by what it is you want to look up on Wikipedia. SIRI will most 
likely say that an article was found and ask if you want it read, say Yes and 
it will read a summary of the Wikipedia article.

Yes, Google voice search does sometimes work better and pull up information 
where SIRI doesn't, but of course you can't do things like set alarms or turn 
iPhone features on or off. I usually try SIRI first and if I don't get what I 
want I try Google. Let's hope that part of the iOS 9 polishing and fixing which 
is expected to happen this year, SIRI will become a whole lot better.

 Hey Rose 
 So glad there are other people with this issue. I will contact the fb 
 disability team about this. I've never had these sudden crashes since the 
 latest fb app update. Difficult to reproduce but for me it seems that most 
 people who don.t see the issue have very recent and rather small fb profiles 
 with rather few friends on it. I have around 250 friends, most sighted ones 
 posting and sharing lots of photos or graphical items, maybe there is a 
 problem with voiceover to cope with these items after the bad upgrade?

This could be your best option just now given how much is involved.

Re: Issue with newly purchased voice on voice dream reader

2015-02-24 Thread Mary Otten
Hi Russ,
To be honest, it has been a while since I have used Kate. She sounds more 
processed, more digital, some kind of artifact in there that I don't care for 
but I don't know what to call it. So my voice is our Ashley Kendra and James 
and I do have Amy, although for some reason I'm not is taken with her as many 
others have been.
And interestingly enough, this morning, when I updated the VoiceStream on my 
old iPhone for S, I found that I had to repurchase Ashley yet again. Of 
course, I was not charged, as it knows I bought the voice once I get checked in 
to my Apple ID with my password. So if this happens to you, don't be surprised. 
Go ahead and just pretend you're rebuying the voice and everything will be 
great.
Mary

 Hello all,
 I recently did update voice dream reader, because it was necessary to update 
 that before updating boy stream writer. I subsequently decided to purchase 
 the new Ashley voice using my iPhone. All went well, and the voice works as 
 expected.
 Now, I have updated voice dream reader on my iPad, and installed a couple of 
 my favorite voices. However, the Ashley voice did not show up as having been 
 purchased. And, when I look under and voices, I see Ashley, and it asks me 
 to purchase it again. I have never had this problem in the past. Voices 
 purchased on one device were always transferable to another device by simply 
 downloading them under the manage my voices tap. Has anyone purchased a

Today only, you can get $100 gift card for $80 on eBay. I believe it is
offered through PayPal. I just bought one, and it sent me to PayPal to make
the payment. That is about the best deal I ever see on iTunes gift cards,
20% off. They also have $50 gift card for $40, if 80 is too rich for your

Please remember that there are a  lot of us using screen readers that are

screen reader's announce those slight differences in sounds.  So please
think about it next time you hear something that is not spelled correctly
that it might be someone with a severe hearing impairment. Also remember
there are people with dramatic brain injuries, stroke victims, and a number
of other disabilities that could keep them from spelling correctly.  Also
there are some of us that with our being severely hard of hearing all our
lives that we could never hear the correct spelling of words so our spelling
is not very good due to not being able to hear words correctly.

 Subject: Issue with newly purchased voice on voice dream reader
 
 
 Hello all,
 I recently did update voice dream reader, because it was necessary to 
 update that before updating boy stream writer. I subsequently decided to 
 purchase the new Ashley voice using my iPhone. All went well, and the voice 
 works as expected.
 Now, I have updated voice dream reader on my iPad, and installed a couple 
 of my favorite voices. However, the Ashley voice did not show up as having 
 been purchased. And, when I look under and voices, I see Ashley, and it 
 asks me to purchase it again. I have never had this problem in the past. 
 Voices purchased on one device were always transferable to another device 
 by simply downloading them under the manage my voices tap. Has anyone 
 purchased a voice since updating voice dream reader? And have you been able 
 to get that voice on more than one device?
 Mary

Charles,
Please remember that there are a  lot of us using screen readers that are
very hard of hearing like myself. We don't always hear everything that our
screen reader's announce those slight differences in sounds.  So please
think about it next time you hear something that is not spelled correctly
that it might be someone with a severe hearing impairment. Also remember
there are people with dramatic brain injuries, stroke victims, and a number
of other disabilities that could keep them from spelling correctly.  Also
there are some of us that with our being severely hard of hearing all our
lives that we could never hear the correct spelling of words so our spelling
is not very good due to not being able to hear words correctly.

Discounted iTunes gift cards on eBay today only

2015-02-24 Thread Mary Otten
Today only, you can get $100 gift card for $80 on eBay. I believe it is offered 
through PayPal. I just bought one, and it sent me to PayPal to make the 
payment. That is about the best deal I ever see on iTunes gift cards, 20% off. 
They also have $50 gift card for $40, if 80 is too rich for your blood. Good 
luck.

scribd

2015-02-24 Thread Christina C.
Does anyone know if this app and their content is accessible? I am particularly 
interested in their audiobook collection. I suspect that they are not 
accessible since I only just heard of this app a couple of weeks ago. This app 
provides access to the scribd service that is similar to kindle unlimited. It’s 
sort of like spotify for books instead of music.

Here’s a article that discusses a bit about scribd and audiobooks. You can 
probably find out more about the audiobooks available from the scribd website.

Please remember that there are a  lot of us using screen readers that are
very hard of hearing like myself. We don't always hear everything that our
screen reader's announce those slight differences in sounds.  So please
think about it next time you hear something that is not spelled correctly
that it might be someone with a severe hearing impairment. Also remember
there are people with dramatic brain injuries, stroke victims, and a number
of other disabilities that could keep them from spelling correctly.  Also
there are some of us that with our being severely hard of hearing all our
lives that we could never hear the correct spelling of words so our spelling
is not very good due to not being able to hear words correctly.

It works, but you need to generate an app specific password in the two step

 Hi everyone, a client of mine is a student who uses iBooks a lot. He was 
 getting frustrated with not having a method to listen to iBooks without 
 locking the screen and without notifications interrupting the book. After I 
 showed him how this was possible using the speak screen feature, he 
 suggested I do an audio presentation about this for others who didn't know 
 about this iOS 8 benefit. A lot of VoiceOver users think that Speak Screen 
 has no benefits for them, but it's a great feature. Here's my demo.

Re: Discounted iTunes gift cards on eBay today only

2015-02-24 Thread Mary Otten
Hi Robin,
I got an email from eBay informing me of this deal. I have an account with 
them, and they have my email address. So, like it or not, every day I get an 
email from them. Mostly, I ignore those things. But this one mention of the 
iTunes deal right up front. So I went and bought one. Interestingly, I had to 
use my iPad as I could not get the thing to add to my cart when I tried my 
iPhone. I've no idea why.

 Today only, you can get $100 gift card for $80 on eBay. I believe it is
 offered through PayPal. I just bought one, and it sent me to PayPal to make
 the payment. That is about the best deal I ever see on iTunes gift cards,
 20% off. They also have $50 gift card for $40, if 80 is too rich for your
 blood. Good luck.

Re: iTunes and latest version of Window Eyes

2015-02-24 Thread Christopher Chaltain
Well, when I read Do it right, and the screen reader will say it right. 
 Doesn't anyone notice?? I thought that was a bit condescending and 
off putting to us list members. I never noticed it wasn't capitalized 
correctly, so that put me in the category of people that didn't notice. 
I also don't think it's an important distinction, so again, makes me 
feel like you think less of me when you word something like that. I'm 
offering this as constructive criticism myself in case you want to 
understand how your message was perceived by at least one list member. 
If you want to write me off as just being too sensitive and thin 
skinned, I'm OK with that.


Reminds me of the person who pointed out that the 's' in iPhone 5s isn't 
capitalized, since it would look too much like another 5. I thought that 
was an interesting bit of information and it was presented in an 
informative way which didn't put anyone down or make anyone feel bad.

Charles,
Please remember that there are a  lot of us using screen readers that
are very hard of hearing like myself. We don't always hear everything
that our screen reader's announce those slight differences in sounds.
So please think about it next time you hear something that is not
spelled correctly that it might be someone with a severe hearing
impairment. Also remember there are people with dramatic brain injuries,
stroke victims, and a number of other disabilities that could keep them
from spelling correctly.  Also there are some of us that with our being
severely hard of hearing all our lives that we could never hear the
correct spelling of words so our spelling is not very good due to not
being able to hear words correctly.

Charles, no one is going to be looking for a job with Apple based on
their writing skills on this list. So personally I think you are making
a bigger deal over something that is very trivial. I know very many
people who are very intelligent and who have professional jobs, who
write for a living even, and yet their email style of writing is
atrocious by grammar standards. I seriously doubt that you would be
turned down for a job with Apple if you wrote iTunes with a small T.
Seriously man, let's talk about more important things on the list.

iTunes is correct, while itunes or other typos give the impression of

Itunes, and I'll bet that I wouldn't be able to get employment with
the impression I give.

So you changed the subject line just to correct the capitalization of
iTunes? It took me a while to figure out that was the only change you
made. I guess my hearing isn't as sensitive as yours, since I didn't
notice it myself. I'm not sure we need to be this picky about the
spelling of our subject lines. I mean this wouldn't affect anyone's
ability to search for this information in the archives.

Re: Issue with newly purchased voice on voice dream reader

2015-02-24 Thread Tim Emmons
Right after I saw the mail and asked the question, I went to Assistiveware and 
found exactly what I had just asked about. Lol. Not paying attention, but I 
meant to say never mind. Lol. It’s working like a charm and they’re actually 
not as expensive as I thought so may have to invest in a few later. Now, my 
question is, how can you test out the Neospeech voices or can you, for the mac 
like you can the accapella voices. Is there a demo something, to try out Ashley 
for the Mac? I’m going to get her for Voice Dream possibly and look at the 
other neo speech voices but I’m leaning more and more towards he accapella 
voices because they are really sounding good, especially Will and Karen. Thanks 
for the help guys and take care. Talk to you soon.

 Devon, I would indeed download more Ivona voices. Wait until Sharon from 
 Acapela comes out. You'll like her better than that Karen voice.

 That is kind of a tough question. I did get to hear the sample. I did not 
 get the error that people have talked about. I suppose that some people 
 might think Ashley sounds rather flat. If you are for example, a fan of the 
 ivona is Sally voice, you probably won't like Ashley. She is sort of like a 
 female James, as far as intonation goes. But I still think James is 
 better.I would use her for reading nonfiction if I didn't want to use 
 James. I don't think I would like her for novels with emotional scenes in 
 them. But, to each their own of course.

 Hello all,
 I recently did update voice dream reader, because it was necessary to 
 update that before updating boy stream writer. I subsequently decided to 
 purchase the new Ashley voice using my iPhone. All went well, and the 
 voice works as expected.
 Now, I have updated voice dream reader on my iPad, and installed a couple 
 of my favorite voices. However, the Ashley voice did not show up as having 
 been purchased. And, when I look under and voices, I see Ashley, and it 
 asks me to purchase it again. I have never had this problem in the past. 
 Voices purchased on one device were always transferable to another device 
 by simply downloading them under the manage my voices tap. Has anyone 
 purchased a voice since updating voice dream reader? And have you been 
 able to get that voice on more than one device?
 Mary

RE: Audio Demo of the iOS 8 Speak Screen Feature

Hi everyone, a client of mine is a student who uses iBooks a lot. He was 
getting frustrated with not having a method to listen to iBooks without locking 
the screen and without notifications interrupting the book. After I showed him 
how this was possible using the speak screen feature, he suggested I do an 
audio presentation about this for others who didn't know about this iOS 8 
benefit. A lot of VoiceOver users think that Speak Screen has no benefits for 
them, but it's a great feature. Here's my demo.

  Today only, you can get $100 gift card for $80 on eBay. I believe it is
  offered through PayPal. I just bought one, and it sent me to PayPal to make
  the payment. That is about the best deal I ever see on iTunes gift cards,
  20% off. They also have $50 gift card for $40, if 80 is too rich for your
  blood. Good luck.

  Today only, you can get $100 gift card for $80 on eBay. I believe it is
  offered through PayPal. I just bought one, and it sent me to PayPal to make
  the payment. That is about the best deal I ever see on iTunes gift cards,
  20% off. They also have $50 gift card for $40, if 80 is too rich for your

Re: Audio Demo of the iOS 8 Speak Screen Feature

2015-02-24 Thread BBS
Hi guys. One time I used the speak screen feature and I noticed that it 
actually treats it as if you were listening to music. That means while it's 
reading, you can do a two finger double tap to toggle reading. I found this out 
when I was reading an email on my phone. I was getting tired of Voiceover 
interrupting itself so I did the speak screen command. I wanted it to stop 
reading so I tried a two-finger double tap thinking that it would stop reading 
and it did. But when I tried to dictate a text message with that same command, 
speak screen starting reading that email again. I had to restart the phone 
because it wouldn't let me dictate my message because of speak screen.

Re: Audio Demo of the iOS 8 Speak Screen Feature

2015-02-24 Thread Alex Hall
In case it hasn't been brought up yet, I wanted to mention that this feature 
doesn't require Siri. That works, of course, and I never knew about it, so 
thanks Jonathan for pointing that out. To start the command with just a 
gesture, though, you can touch the Status Bar and then perform the two-finger 
swipe down. Just as three-finger swipes act differently in the Status Bar, so 
does this command - it starts Speak Screen.

I believe it will also work with headphone remotes, though I haven't tested 
this personally yet. Another thing I am pretty sure will work is using a 
braille display or bluetooth keyboard: go to the Status Bar, then do the 
equivalent of a two-finger swipe down (such as a space-r). Again, not tested, 
but I don't see why it wouldn't work. It would be interesting to hear from 
someone who can give it a try.

Quite handy for reading Instapaper or Pocket articles, among many other uses. 
Thanks again to Jonathan for this really great tip.

Re: Issue with newly purchased voice on voice dream reader

2015-02-24 Thread BBS
Hi Tim. Sadly, Neospeech hasn't made any voices for the Mac and I doubt they 
will. Ivona keeps saying that they will at some point make voices for the 
Mac but for me that's just talk until they actually do it. I'm glad you like 
the Acapela voices though. I don't see what's good about Karen and Will, 
Will sounds like Paul from Neospeech and Karen sounds like she could be 
Acapela Laura's sister because she sounds so robotic and digital. I know 
I've said this so many times but I can't wait until Assistiveware releases 
Acapela Sharon for Mac and Winston releases her for VDR. Anyway, I'm pretty 
sure that the mods will say that this is getting off topic so if you like, 
you can email me off list at bbssh...@icloud.com and we can talk more about 
this.

actually not as expensive as I thought so may have to invest in a few later. 
Now, my question is, how can you test out the Neospeech voices or can you, 
for the mac like you can the accapella voices. Is there a demo something, to 
try out Ashley for the Mac? I’m going to get her for Voice Dream possibly 
and look at the other neo speech voices but I’m leaning more and more

especially Will and Karen. Thanks for the help guys and take care. Talk to

That is kind of a tough question. I did get to hear the sample. I did 
not get the error that people have talked about. I suppose that some 
people might think Ashley sounds rather flat. If you are for example, a 
fan of the ivona is Sally voice, you probably won't like Ashley. She is 
sort of like a female James, as far as intonation goes. But I still 
think James is better.I would use her for reading nonfiction if I didn't 
want to use James. I don't think I would like her for novels with 
emotional scenes in them. But, to each their own of course.

Hello all,
I recently did update voice dream reader, because it was necessary to

to purchase the new Ashley voice using my iPhone. All went well, and 
the voice works as expected.

RE: very bad fb app update

2015-02-24 Thread R Van Lant
I’m still on IOS 7 on my iPhone 4, so I assumed that was part of my issue.  I 
noticed that with the newest update it takes two swipes to get past each news 
story.  It’s very  sensitive and it’s hard to get through the posts and has a 
significant delay.  Definitely was a step backward when I  upgraded Facebook.

Hi Robin,
I got an email from eBay informing me of this deal. I have an account with 
them, and they have my email address. So, like it or not, every day I get an 
email from them. Mostly, I ignore those things. But this one mention of the 
iTunes deal right up front. So I went and bought one. Interestingly, I had 
to use my iPad as I could not get the thing to add to my cart when I tried 
my iPhone. I've no idea why.

Today only, you can get $100 gift card for $80 on eBay. I believe it is
offered through PayPal. I just bought one, and it sent me to PayPal to 
make

the payment. That is about the best deal I ever see on iTunes gift cards,
20% off. They also have $50 gift card for $40, if 80 is too rich for your
blood. Good luck.

Re: Issue with newly purchased voice on voice dream reader

2015-02-24 Thread BBS
To demo Acapela voices, go to assistiveware.com and download the Infovox 
Ivox engine. Then once downloaded you can find a list of voices that the 
engine has and you can select which voice you want to download.
Devon, I would indeed download more Ivona voices. Wait until Sharon from 
Acapela comes out. You'll like her better than that Karen voice.

That is kind of a tough question. I did get to hear the sample. I did not 
get the error that people have talked about. I suppose that some people 
might think Ashley sounds rather flat. If you are for example, a fan of 
the ivona is Sally voice, you probably won't like Ashley. She is sort of 
like a female James, as far as intonation goes. But I still think James 
is better.I would use her for reading nonfiction if I didn't want to use 
James. I don't think I would like her for novels with emotional scenes in 
them. But, to each their own of course.

Hello all,
I recently did update voice dream reader, because it was necessary to 
update that before updating boy stream writer. I subsequently decided to 
purchase the new Ashley voice using my iPhone. All went well, and the 
voice works as expected.
Now, I have updated voice dream reader on my iPad, and installed a 
couple of my favorite voices. However, the Ashley voice did not show up 
as having been purchased. And, when I look under and voices, I see 
Ashley, and it asks me to purchase it again. I have never had this 
problem in the past. Voices purchased on one device were always 
transferable to another device by simply downloading them under the 
manage my voices tap. Has anyone purchased a voice since updating voice 
dream reader? And have you been able to get that voice on more than one 
device?
