RE: How do I capture a picture of my screen with Voiceover running?

[Alan Lemly]

Many thanks, Richard. I do have a home button on my iPhone 8 so I'll press that 
and the power button to capture the screen to my photos. Sorry I forgot to 
mention my iPhone model with my original post.

If you have a home button, make sure first that screen curtain is not on, then 
press the home and power buttons together. You should hear the shutter sound 
and you will now have a screen shot in your photos. 

If no home button, I believe it is the side/power button and the up volume 
button together.

Not sure about that though.

RE: Bookmarks In Voice Dream Reader?

[Alan Lemly]

Fazil,

 

As Richard said, I really don't do a lot with bookmarks and in addition, I only 
have one iDevice, an iPhone 8, so I know nothing about syncing among devices. I 
will say the couple of times I've replaced my iPhone and restored my encrypted 
iTunes backup to my new iPhone, everything I had in Voice Dream Reader came to 
the new device. I know that's not exactly what you're asking but I thought I'd 
share it.

 

There is a voicedreamprodu...@groups.io list to which Winston Chen belongs so 
you might subscribe to it and post your syncing question there. You can 
subscribe by sending a blank email to the following address:

 

voicedreamproducts+subscr...@groups.io 

 

Good luck.

 

Alan

Re: Bookmarks In Voice Dream Reader?

Alan, you are right, of course. Like I said, I have not used bookmarks, but in 
mp3 files those options are across the top.
As for syncing across devices, I doubt it, but write the developer and he can 
speak to that.

For me, Alan, in my MP3 file, I found bookmark at the location you described in

May be, for mp3 it is on upper right-hand corner & for PDF it is left to the 
Play-button.

Re: Bookmarks In Voice Dream Reader?

Richard,

Are you sure of the location of the bookmark buttons when you're playing an mp3 
file from your Voice Dream library? I opened an mp3 movie before posting my 
response and the bookmark buttons were near the top of the screen. When I just 
now opened a pdf file in Voice Dream, the bookmark button group was near the 
play button at the bottom as you described.

Re: Bookmarks In Voice Dream Reader?

[Richard Turner]

Actually, the headings, bookmarks, and highlights button is near the bottom of 
the screen to the left of the play button.
Once you have bookmarks set, you may also be able to change the navigation unit 
to bookmarks so you can do a single finger flick down on the play button to 
jump to the next bookmark. Since I don't generally use bookmarks, that is just 
a guess.

That could be the case, I don't know, I just know they are not Siri voices

I couldn't find a source saying that Aaron or Nicky were Siri voices, but it

I did find a rather interesting article in Wikipedia about Siri though, so I'm

versions, which came out in either iOS 12 or 11, I can't remember which. Nicky 
and Aaron, plus their equivalents in other languages, are available for use in 
Voice Dream Reader, and I think this was also the case before they were demoted 
from official Siri voice status. It's just the latest Siri voices which Apple 
has not made available to third-party developers. So I think Mary and Richard 
are both right: Aaron is now just another voice, but he used to be a Siri voice 
and was available in VDR at the time.
Sorry for the long message and please feel free to correct any unintentional 
misinformation.
All the best,
Nicky, but not the former Siri voice, I'm afraid I sound far too British, LOL!

RE: Bookmarks In Voice Dream Reader?

[Alan Lemly]

Fazil,

 

Voice Dream Reader does have the ability to bookmark mp3 files being played on 
it. With your file open and playing, place focus on the add bookmark button 
which is in the upper right corner of the screen and double tap. A bookmark 
will be added at the current location. With the file still open, swipe right 
among the controls at the top of the screen until you hear bookmarks and double 
tap to get a list of those you've set. Navigate to the one you want and double 
tap to go to it.

Does Voice Dream Reader have book-mark feature? If yes, How can I book mark my

Re: Spelling and vocabulary teaching app?

Hi,

I haven't used these for a couple of years, but they might be worth checking 
out.

www.freerice.com 
has questions on a wide variety of subjects, including vocabulary words. It 
adjusts the difficulty based on how well you answer the questions. And every 
time you answer a question, the banner ads draw in enough revenue to buy 10 
grains of rice, so you help hungry people get food as you develop your skills.

www.vocabulary.com 
has lots of word-related activities as well.

I hope these are helpful.

RE: identifying gift cards

Hi Donald. I'm glad voice dream scanner worked out for you. I have a large 
collection of vinyl records and am in the process of ripping them to the 
computer. Of course, I need to know the side numbers of the disks I'm ripping 
and voice dream does a wonderful job of reading the disk centers.

A further note: I re-scanned the front of the card and it picked up the card

On the back of the card it read the website and phone number to get card

I am impressed!

Just chiming in re the Siri voices: I believe that Aaron, and his female 
counterpart Nicky, were the official US Siri voices prior to the latest 
versions, which came out in either iOS 12 or 11, I can't remember which. Nicky 
and Aaron, plus their equivalents in other languages, are available for use in 
Voice Dream Reader, and I think this was also the case before they were demoted 
from official Siri voice status. It's just the latest Siri voices which Apple 
has not made available to third-party developers. So I think Mary and Richard 
are both right: Aaron is now just another voice, but he used to be a Siri voice 
and was available in VDR at the time.
Sorry for the long message and please feel free to correct any unintentional 
misinformation.
All the best,
Nicky, but not the former Siri voice, I'm afraid I sound far too British, LOL!

Re: Voices on voice dream

[TaraPrakash]

Thank you all. I should have specified I am trying to use the current female 
Siri voice. Aron is good but is terrible with words having letter O in them. 
Especially, it destroys the word “books” very badly. In the word like “mostly” 
the “o” sound is doubled. I know you can manage pronunciation but when. A 
specific letter sound is coded in a certain way, not sure wha to do. Go back to 
samantha I guess.

Re: Getting already downloaded books from your computer into BARD Mobile on your iPhone was RE: Bard books and Voice Dream Reader

Subject: Getting already downloaded books from your computer into BARD Mobile 
on your iPhone was RE: Bard books and Voice Dream Reader

Hi Joshua,

 

I'm happy to say that it is possible to get BARD books you've already 
downloaded to your computer into BARD Mobile on your iPhone without downloading 
them again. I will say that downloading them again might be easier in some 
cases but that isn't what you asked. You will have to copy them to a cloud 
service folder which works with BARD Mobile such as Dropbox or iCloud before 
you can transfer them. I place all of my downloaded BARD books into a BARD 
subfolder which branches off of my Dropbox folder on my computer. The good news 
is you don't have to unzip the downloaded books before doing the transfer. Here 
are the steps.

 

1.  Open the Files app which is built into iOS.

2.  Execute the Browse button on the bottomline menu of the Files app.

3.  Navigate to the Dropbox or iCloud folder where you have the BARD books 
you'd like to transfer.

4.  Swipe until the title you want to transfer has focus. Remember, the 
BARD books don't have to be unzipped so the book your want to transfer should 
end with a .zip extension.

5.  Single finger swipe down through the various menu choices until you 
hear Share and then double tap.

6.  A share sheet will open and you can single finger swipe right until you 
hear Copy to BARD Mobile at which point you should double tap.

7.  A progress announcement will be spoken by Voiceover until the book has 
been copied to BARD Mobile.

8.  When you open BARD Mobile on your iPhone and execute the Bookshelf 
button, the book you just copied should be in the list of available books on 
your iPhone.

 

Write back if you have other questions.

 

Alan Lemly

Thanks for any help.  I have loads of other devices to listen to my bard books, 
I'm just looking forward to playing with the bard mobile app.

Susie, I don’t think you quite understand.

Anybody on the planet can download the BardMobile app, but only if you are 
a

registered user can you log in and download bard books.

NLS has the authority, and the ability, to authorize other players as they
have done for the hardware devices like the Victor Streams and Plextalks.
Again, anyone on the planet can buy those devices but unless they have a
registered account with NLS, they cannot access NLS books.



Yes, it is a copyright issue, but the authorization to play copywritten
material is controlled by NLS and it is extra secure because you also have
to have a registered account which means a doctor or rehabilitation agency
have certified that you have a print disability.



I don’t even know if Winston would want to go down that path of becoming 
an

authorized player.  The BardMobile app is perfect for my uses.

This all began because someone asked how to play BARD books with Voice 
Dream

Reader and has received the answer but it has spiraled into this
discussion.



I think we can wrap this one up.

I’m sure it’s a copyright issue. In order to download the BARD app, you 
have

to be a registered patron of thee NLS library system, which  means you
qualify for books in a specialized format. Otherwise, potentially, anybody
with an iPhone and Voice Dream Reader could get all these free audiobooks.

That is correct.  Voice Dream Reader cannot read protected content.  Maybe

Uh umm...A good ole hard copy dictionary will do exactly what you want. & while 
searching for a word or two, the kids will learn a few things that have been 
tossed away with the invention of laptops & smartphones...What you ask? Well, 
how words are alphabetically listed. The part of speech a word derives from. 
The orgin of words & example sentences on how the word(s) is used in a 
sentence. & hopefully, the use of a dictionary will spark their interest & 
curiosity & they will look up other words to use. & who knows...your kids may 
think that you are a fuddy duddy for suggesting that a dictionary be used in 
place of a electronic device.

Re: Voices on voice dream

[Nicola Sanders]

Hi,
Just chiming in re the Siri voices: I believe that Aaron, and his female 
counterpart Nicky, were the official US Siri voices prior to the latest 
versions, which came out in either iOS 12 or 11, I can't remember which. Nicky 
and Aaron, plus their equivalents in other languages, are available for use in 
Voice Dream Reader, and I think this was also the case before they were demoted 
from official Siri voice status. It's just the latest Siri voices which Apple 
has not made available to third-party developers. So I think Mary and Richard 
are both right: Aaron is now just another voice, but he used to be a Siri voice 
and was available in VDR at the time.
Sorry for the long message and please feel free to correct any unintentional 
misinformation.
All the best,
Nicky, but not the former Siri voice, I'm afraid I sound far too British, LOL!

 If I’m not mistaken Aaron is a Siri voice. You can use all of the voices
 that voiceover has. You can also purchase other voices through voice
 dream. My personal favorites are James and Kendra. The latter is from
 Ivona, and the former is from Riehl speak I think. You can do all that
 under I think it’s called manage my voices. You can choose from iOS
 voices including the Siri ones, or you can buy voices from places like a
 cappella or Ivona etc.
