In my case, I use itunes file sharing.  That way I don’t have to upload the 
file to the cloud and download it from the cloud to my device.

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.

Hi guys.  I've got a quick question about bard mobile.  I have a very huge 
collection about 1.87 terabytes worth of bard books.  When I get my new iPhone 
8, is there anyway that I can import a few of those bard books into the bard 
mobile app for listening.  I know you can access the my previous downloaded 
books from bard mobile and redownload your bard book for playback on the app.  
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.

Its very nice that I could access my previously downloaded books on
the bard mobile app and easily download books from that list.  I'm
really looking forward to when the new version of bard express comes
out.  I heard in a blind-bargains episode that you are supposed to be
able to see your previous bard downloads with the new version of the
program.  I'm sure you could also easily check any book in your list
and add it to your wishlist as well, so that would really be nice for
bard mobile.

Joshua,

Yes, yours is a perfect example of where it is much easier just to re-download 
the book again using the BARD Mobile app and your iPhone. It is very nice that 
playing books on the iPhone using apps such as BARD Mobile or Voice Dream 
Reader does not require that they first be unzipped. But those coming to an 
iPhone from a Victor Reader Stream or the NLS Player will have to adapt a bit.

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
