Setting constant speed in Voice Dream Reader

[Wayne Merritt]

All, 
So now that I've imported my zip files into folders in Voice Dream Reader, I'm 
wondering if there is a way to set the audio speed for all of the files in that 
folder? Currently I have to set the speed faster for each zip file that I play. 
While this is doable, it can be redundant. All thoughts welcome. 

Warmly, 
Wayne Merritt

Running 16.3, no problems here. It does what it supposed to do with the mute

Re: PLEASE DO DO REPORT to Apple - nolonger possible to manage subscriptions under the hood updates of Apple become more and more a drama for VIPS

It is still present on iOS 16.4 Beta 2.  Definitely not directly related to iOS.

I received a reply from Apple Accessibility this morning which states that they 
are aware of the issue and they are investigating.
I assume this may have had something to do with the App Store and certain App 
Store changes have always been done on the backend and they are not necessarily 
connected to iOS itself which would explain why this is happening with iOS 15, 
iOS 16.3 as well as iOS 16.4 public beta.
I would think this is something which Apple will fix sooner rather than later.
As for using screen recognition this still does not work for me even if I wait 
10 seconds or 20 seconds, I have backed out of subscriptions after turning it 
on and gone back and it does not give me anything except what I also see 
without screen recognition.

Although it wouldn’t be ideal by any means, when I checked just now, I could 
turn on screen recognition while in the list of apps to which I was subscribed, 
and I could then actually view that list of applications. I could also double 
tap on one of the apps to which I was subscribed, then turn off screen 
recognition, And then I could see the option to cancel that subscription if I 
wanted to do so.

Re: Importing a folder of MP3 files into Voice Dream Reader

[Joshua Hendrickson]

You don't create zip files in voice dream.  I just make the zip files
on my PC, then upload them into certain folders I've created for them
in dropbox, then once uploaded to dropbox, I then add them to certain
folders I've created in voice dream reader.  I've got an audio books
folder and an audio dramas folder in voice dream reader, and that is
where I put any new audio books, or audio dramas I want to next listen
to.  I'm currently reading a bunch of graphic audio westerns.  It is
working quite well.  It is so nice being able to have content download
into certain folders in voice dream reader.  It is great for
organization.  I've also got folders where I put bookshare books after
zipping them up to read in voice dream reader.  All this uploading to
dropbox and creating zip files and folders isn't quick by any means,
but it does work, if one is patient.

Re: How do I say to Lazarillo where I want to go?

[Lisa Belville]

Hi.


There are two ways to add an address to your favorites list with Lazarillo.


First, When you search for an address, there may be one or more options 
corresponding to that particular address or place.  Swipe through the 
listed options and double tap on the correct one.



This will open a new screen.  The first button VO lands on is the add to 
favorites button.  Double tap this button and the address will be added 
to your favorites.  The address will now be shown when you select the 
favorites tab.



The second way to add an address is to double tap the Favorites tab, 
then swipe to the Add favorite button and double tap it.



Now you have the choice to either add the exact address or use the GPS 
coordinates for the address.    You can add the exact address by double 
tapping the Add Favorite by Address button. This will place you in a 
search field where you can type the address or enter a place name.  This 
is identical to using the search button, but the address is 
automatically added to your favorites.



I hope this helps a bit.

Hi, Rena.

You will need to clear the search field by swiping to and double 
tapping the clear text button.  Once you do that, you can conduct 
another search as before.


As far as I know, there is no history of previously searched for 
addresses when using the search field.  However, you can add those 
addresses to your favorites so you can view them again.


 You have the option to add every address you view as a favorite.  
This way you can review the places you've looked at.


Hope this helps.

Just to clarify, you can type or dictate the address once that

RE: Mute Switch Always Says "Unmuted"

[Katrina Anderson]

Hi All,

So weird.  I was preparing to write this message, because I heard "unmuted" 
when sliding the switch back or forward on my 14 Pro with the latest iOS 16 
version.   VO is Samantha...not enhanced.  I then saw Sieghard's suggestion to 
clear apps and reboot, so I did that; no change.   I started typing this 
message, and for whatever reason chose to check the switch again.  VO spoke 
"muted"  "unmuted" appropriately.  Things seemed good, but before sending this 
message, I checked again, and VO says "unmuted" no matter the position.  LOL 

It isn't a huge problem for me, but it should be checked out, and hopefully 
fixed, so I will notify Apple Accessibility.

Katrina

 when I move the mute switch to either position.

I found this most interesting. I think it started in iOS 16, but maybe 
not. If I move the switch on the side of the phone, either way VoiceOver 
says "unmuted." It does this on n XS, a 12 Pro Max and a 14 Pro Max. 
However, even though VO says "unmuted" for both positions, the phone 
sounds are definitely muted when the switched is moved to the back of 
the phone, and restored when moved to the front. Anyone else ever notice 
this?

flip it back, I hear unmuted.  I've got a 13 pro max updated to the
latest version.

Steve, 
That is most interesting and you should probably investigate why this is 
happening just for you. It seems unlikely that all three of the devices you 
mentioned have hardware issues so it must be something with their settings. As 
others have reported, VoiceOver speaks muted and unmuted correctly on my iPhone 
13 Mini when the switch is activated or deactivated.

Re: Mute Switch Always Says "Unmuted"

[Les Kriegler]

Steve, it is not just you. I had the same thing happened last week. It turned 
out and I don’t know if it’s related, but voiceover eventually stop working all 
together and that create another problems for me. But I can confirm your 
comment about moving that switch in hearing I muted all of the time. I have no 
idea why that stopped happening. I want up having to reset my settings and that 
message for now at least has gone away.

RE: How do I say to Lazarillo where I want to go?

I would like to have some addresses in the favorites, but I don’t understand 
how to do that.

Should I type the address in search and later to send it to favorites? Please, 
explain how.

Hi, Rena.

You will need to clear the search field by swiping to and double tapping the 
clear text button.  Once you do that, you can conduct another search as before. 
 

As far as I know, there is no history of previously searched for addresses when 
using the search field.  However, you can add those addresses to your favorites 
so you can view them again.

 You have the option to add every address you view as a favorite.  This way you 
can review the places you've looked at.

Hope this helps.

What am I doing wrong?

How can I put another address?

Also, where I see the addresses I add?

Just to clarify, you can type or dictate the address once that search field is 
activated.  I've had good luck with both methods.

I found this most interesting. I think it started in iOS 16, but maybe 
not. If I move the switch on the side of the phone, either way VoiceOver 
says "unmuted." It does this on n XS, a 12 Pro Max and a 14 Pro Max. 
However, even though VO says "unmuted" for both positions, the phone 
sounds are definitely muted when the switched is moved to the back of 
the phone, and restored when moved to the front. Anyone else ever notice 
this?

I'm not experiencing this with my iPhone 11 or iPhone Se 2020. Both phones are 
running the most up to date IOS version.

I don't either.  If I flip my mute switch one way, I hear muted, if I
flip it back, I hear unmuted.  I've got a 13 pro max updated to the
latest version.

Steve, 
That is most interesting and you should probably investigate why this is 
happening just for you. It seems unlikely that all three of the devices you 
mentioned have hardware issues so it must be something with their settings. As 
others have reported, VoiceOver speaks muted and unmuted correctly on my iPhone 
13 Mini when the switch is activated or deactivated.

It sounds like a call to Apple Accessibility is needed: 877-204-3930 24/7
My 13 pro says muted and unmuted like always.  I do not find any settings 
related to the mute switch, but Apple Accessibility would be able to figure 
this one out.

RE: PLEASE DO DO REPORT to Apple - nolonger possible to manage subscriptions under the hood updates of Apple become more and more a drama for VIPS

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I received a reply from Apple Accessibility this morning which states that they 
are aware of the issue and they are investigating.
I assume this may have had something to do with the App Store and certain App 
Store changes have always been done on the backend and they are not necessarily 
connected to iOS itself which would explain why this is happening with iOS 15, 
iOS 16.3 as well as iOS 16.4 public beta.
I would think this is something which Apple will fix sooner rather than later.
As for using screen recognition this still does not work for me even if I wait 
10 seconds or 20 seconds, I have backed out of subscriptions after turning it 
on and gone back and it does not give me anything except what I also see 
without screen recognition.

Thats not 100% right, the apps for which I had subscribed yes I can click them 
all but I donot know which I have been selecting while these buttons are not 
labeled at least for me.

Although it wouldn’t be ideal by any means, when I checked just now, I could 
turn on screen recognition while in the list of apps to which I was subscribed, 
and I could then actually view that list of applications. I could also double 
tap on one of the apps to which I was subscribed, then turn off screen 
recognition, And then I could see the option to cancel that subscription if I 
wanted to do so.

RE: Mute Switch Always Says "Unmuted"

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I have an iPhone 13 Pro and the mute switch correctly says "Muted" if  moved to 
the back and "unmuted" if moved to the front.
Maybe close all apps and reboot your phone to see if that resolves it.

Re: Mute Switch Always Says "Unmuted"

Hi,
On my iPhone 14 Pro, VoiceOver always says "unmuted" whichever way the mute 
switch is pushed as well. I am using Nathan Enhanced.

I found this most interesting. I think it started in iOS 16, but maybe 
not. If I move the switch on the side of the phone, either way VoiceOver 
says "unmuted." It does this on n XS, a 12 Pro Max and a 14 Pro Max. 
However, even though VO says "unmuted" for both positions, the phone 
sounds are definitely muted when the switched is moved to the back of 
the phone, and restored when moved to the front. Anyone else ever notice 
this?

I don't either.  If I flip my mute switch one way, I hear muted, if I
flip it back, I hear unmuted.  I've got a 13 pro max updated to the
latest version.

Steve, 
That is most interesting and you should probably investigate why this is 
happening just for you. It seems unlikely that all three of the devices you 
mentioned have hardware issues so it must be something with their settings. As 
others have reported, VoiceOver speaks muted and unmuted correctly on my iPhone 
13 Mini when the switch is activated or deactivated.

It sounds like a call to Apple Accessibility is needed: 877-204-3930 24/7
My 13 pro says muted and unmuted like always.  I do not find any settings 
related to the mute switch, but Apple Accessibility would be able to figure 
this one out.

RE: PLEASE DO DO REPORT to Apple - nolonger possible to manage subscriptions under the hood updates of Apple become more and more a drama for VIPS

[davycuppens]

Again, this terrible bug was not produced by a manual update of one of us all; 
no, this was a under-the-hood update of Apple.

Apple is changing its policies and it is obvious that after some years, you 
won't get any updates from apps or ios systems anymore. Updates and changes 
will be done automatically whether you want it or not.
Sop lease do not blame any of us or betatesters, blame and report to Apple!

After experienncing the same results as reported, I decided to call Apple 
Accessibility, rather than email. He tested it on his iphone and was rewarded 
with the same mess. He says that Apple already had had several reports about 
it, he added mine to the list, along with his own results. I guess a problem 
gets more attention when the acccessibility representative gets the same 
results as the complaintants. I was told that they are "looking into it", and 
that it will be fixed in "a future update." I am glad I didn't wait until the 
last minute to change a subscription. And how could this have gott, past the 
beta testers? Are there beta testers?

That must have changed in the last 4-6 weeks because I remember at some point 
in January I had a look at this because my wife has a yearly subscription for 
an app/service and it was showing up. I can confirm Davy's finding and this by 
the way is also now on iOS 16.4 public beta so apparently it makes no 
difference whether the iOS version is 15, 16 or 16.4 beta.
I agree with Davy in this case, people should definitely report this. I did 
also try this with screen recognition turned on and it makes no difference. I 
get 3 headings, Active, Inactive and Options. Under Options Voiceover correctly 
reads whether the "Share with Family" option is checked or not.
Under "Active" I find a pop up button which allows you to pick app name, price 
or renewal date to sort your subscriptions, but while I can pick any of these 
options, after I do I still don't see any apps/services listed.

It is about the appstore and all subscriptions randomly of apps for which you

Re: Mute Switch Always Says "Unmuted"

[Alan Lemly]

I suspect the TTS voice being used for VoiceOver might be a contributing 
factor. If I were experiencing this, that's the first thing I'd try. I'm using 
Samantha enhanced as my VoiceOver voice.

You can create a zip file with them all in there and put them into dropbox or 
Google Drive. Then you can import that one zip file into voice dream reader. 
Then it will open it will play those songs in order and yes, you can increase 
the speed if you’d like.

Re: Mute Switch Always Says "Unmuted"

[Alan Lemly]

Steve, 

That is most interesting and you should probably investigate why this is 
happening just for you. It seems unlikely that all three of the devices you 
mentioned have hardware issues so it must be something with their settings. As 
others have reported, VoiceOver speaks muted and unmuted correctly on my iPhone 
13 Mini when the switch is activated or deactivated.

RE: automatic updates

[paekstrand]

Hi Paula,

 

In Settings, look for App Store, or iTunes and App Store.  I think that has 
changed names in different IOS versions.  In there, you should find where you 
can turn off the automatic app updates.

 

Hope this helps.

Re: Importing a folder of MP3 files into Voice Dream Reader

[Wayne Merritt]

Josh, 
After some experimenting and figuring out what to do, I ultimately did 
everything within VDR as well. I don't use the app very often, but I was amazed 
at the control and added abilities the user is given regarding creating folders 
and moving items into those folders. Once I figured out what I was doing, it 
was very easy to get my task accomplished. 

Kind regards, 

Wayne Merritt

Apple Store app FAQ and screen recognition

[Vicky Collins]

Another place, at least for me, where I find I need to use screen recognition 
is with the Apple Store app when I try to read their FAQ. I am in the United 
States and running iOS 16.3.1 on both an iPhone 12 mini and an iPhone 13 mini, 
although this problem has actually been occurring for quite some time. If I, 
say, select an iPhone and go down after all of the color and size selections 
and get to the bottom where the frequently asked questions are, I can find the 
expand and collapse buttons and double tap on them and read or collapse the 
answers, but I can’t read the questions they are actually answering unless I 
turn on screen recognition first. Of course, given the answers that are shown, 
I can pretty much tell what’s being answered without turning on screen 
recognition to confirm the questions.

Subject: Re: Importing a folder of MP3 files into Voice Dream Reader

You can create a zip file with them all in there and put them into dropbox or 
Google Drive. Then you can import that one zip file into voice dream reader. 
Then it will open it will play those songs in order and yes, you can increase 
the speed if you’d like.

Re: PLEASE DO DO REPORT to Apple - nolonger possible to manage subscriptions under the hood updates of Apple become more and more a drama for VIPS

[Vicky Collins]

Actually, the screen recognition didn’t work for me the first time I tried it 
either. However, since I have a credit union app that requires the same thing, 
in most cases, if I wait maybe 10 seconds or so after I invoke the screen 
recognition before trying to do anything with the app, it will work and read 
things for me. However, I absolutely do agree  that this should be fixed, 
especially for such an important function with Apple.

Re: Importing a folder of MP3 files into Voice Dream Reader

[Steve Matzura]

The action to get a ZIP archive of MP3 files into VDR is neither import 
nor export; it's share. You must share the ZIP archive file with VDR, 
and as of iOS 16, VDR is not on the default share sheet screen until you 
press the More button toward the bottom. You can do this from the native 
Files application, but I bought File Browser just because I like the 
interface better, but they both do effectively the same thing.

Mute Switch Always Says "Unmuted"

[Steve Matzura]

I found this most interesting. I think it started in iOS 16, but maybe 
not. If I move the switch on the side of the phone, either way VoiceOver 
says "unmuted." It does this on n XS, a 12 Pro Max and a 14 Pro Max. 
However, even though VO says "unmuted" for both positions, the phone 
sounds are definitely muted when the switched is moved to the back of 
the phone, and restored when moved to the front. Anyone else ever notice 
this?

Re: PLEASE DO DO REPORT to Apple - nolonger possible to manage subscriptions under the hood updates of Apple become more and more a drama for VIPS

Hello,
I was just getting ready to suggest checking on your subscriptions from the 
settings area rather than the app store. However, it is broken as well. You 
can't read them from there either.
