Re: Dolphin easy reader, your thoughts?
This is to Marie, who is further down this thread, who talks about american taxes paying for NLS audio books, and how they should not be available to other blind people, who are not in America. Well here is my view on that subject. I think as blind people, who are all around this world of ours, and do not have the access, that sighted readers have. all our respective blind societies, should be able to share our catalogues, and make them available to all. The same goes to Audible, which give access to different books, depending in which country we are in. I would be happy to pay a fair subscription, to be able to have access, to as many audio books as i can. I am in the UK, and have many talking books available to me, through the RNIB library, and i wouldn't mind at all, if they were made accessible, to other blind and visually impaired persons around the world, regardless of my UK taxes paying for it.

Hello Mary, And voice dream reader, open audio settings, advanced audio settings while a text book is loaded. You can make your changes there. It does not work with the iOS voices, but it does work with the other voices you can purchase.

Re: Dolphin easy reader, your thoughts?
As a tax payer, I'm not too worried about people who aren't blind using BARD. I do think it's important though that the NLS work with publishers, especially audio book publishers, to keep BARD books from being too widely distributed and impacting the sales of audio books.

Hi, there is newe book reader on appstore called dolphin easy reader, free, it only requires of login using a dolphin account or sign up for a new one, also free of charge. What I find interesting is that while on this new app you can set up a longer pause in between sentnces (using ios voices), the last VDR update is uncapable of doing the same thing. yeah, of course this app needs to be improved, but checking it out rapidly its interface and settings is really basic and complete at the same time for being free of charge.

Re: Dolphin easy reader, your thoughts?
Hi Greg, When you say voice dream reader can change the length of a pause at the end of the line, do you mean a line or sentence? If it's a line, I'm not interested. If it is a sentence, that's a whole different deal. Somehow I missed that change. Where should I look for that? Thank you.

Re: Dolphin easy reader, your thoughts?
Hello, I tried the easyreader app and found it a bit difficult to get a book reading. In the latest version of the voicedream reader app on iOS it does have the ability to change the length of a pause at the end of a line.

Thanks, Anna. Well I really like voice dream now again, since they sorted out the problem with the UI being so sluggish when cloud sync is enabled. But the one thing I am noticing is that when reading nonfiction books, with my preferred James voice, I would like to have a little bit more pause after sentences. They're not run on.

Re: Dolphin easy reader, your thoughts?
Hi Mary, They have a lot of voices available for purchase, and you can use any iOS voice that you've downloaded, so you have plenty of choice. I had no trouble playing a Bookshare book. I think it's a great option for people who can't afford Voice Dream Reader and want access to libraries. It's not as good with a braille display as Voice Dream Reader because it shows each sentence separately, rather than showing longer blocks of text. It also doesn't let you import books or play straight MP3 files. It also doesn't work with the headphone controls, so you can't use your headphones to back up a few seconds and such. It's a great first version, though, and it should be helpful to a lot of people.

Re: Dolphin easy reader, your thoughts?
Hi Anna, I admit I have not follow this thread with all that much care, so I could've missed it. I assume you have use this app, and I'm wondering how you like it compared with Voice Dream. I recall someone sending a message that said the app kept crashing in a bookshare book. And someone else said they liked the fact that you could adjust the pauses between sentences, which sounds like a really good thing that I wish VDR would do. When I looked at the in app purchases, it seemed like there is just one voice, that's based on what I saw in the App Store. So I guess you can't use your VDR voices, which is understandable, but worse is that if there's just the one voice. Anyway, curious what you think of the app compared to voice dream.

Hello, I had a very hard time with this app getting a bookshare book to even read. I hit the play button but it seems to only read about one page at a time.

Re: Dolphin easy reader, your thoughts?
It would be nice, if you could import your own mp3 books, into this app. Dave. -Original Message- From: Richard Turner Sent: Saturday, June 10, 2017 1:14 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Dolphin easy reader, your thoughts? It looks interesting. I did not check what they charge for the non-iOS voices. Voice Dream has many great features too that I'm sure they drew on in their development. If you wait a little while, you may find Voice Dream Reader also will allow for adjusting the pause between sentences. At this point, I'll stick with Voice Dream as I like its layout, but this is a good option for a lot of folks. It is good to see they work with Bookshare as well. Though, I have to question their claim to having the largest accessible library...

Hi, there is newe book reader on appstore called dolphin easy reader, free, it only requires of login using a dolphin account or sign up for a new one, also free of charge. What I find interesting is that while on this new app you can set up a longer pause in between sentnces (using ios voices), the last VDR update is uncapable of doing the same thing. yeah, of course this app needs to be improved, but checking it out rapidly its interface and settings is really basic and complete at the same time for being free of charge. This feature, add a longer pause in between sentences (for ios voices) is very helpful if you are trying to learn another language. -- Leo -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
