I thought the hatch sign is dots 4-5-6, followed by dots 1-4-3-6: Has this 
changed in UEB?

Using the Unified English Braille code ′UEB′, the pound sign is dot 4 plus the 
letter l. At least this is the sign I use on Twitter as the hash sign.

Hello,

 

Be careful what pound you are talking about. Here in the UK our currency is

It is indeed. In UEB and, I believe, contracted braille, the number sign for

instead. One way to confirm this would be to just write the symbol with the

has included in the Writer app. I hope this helps. 

Formatting

Voice Dream Writer supports a subset of Markdown, a quick way to format the 
text in your document on a mobile device without any of the complications of a 
full-blown Word Processor. Supported Markdown syntax:

• Headings. Use "#" (number sign) at the beginning of a paragraph for Headings. 
Number of "#" (number signs) is the heading level. These acts are markers that 
allow you to navigate the document easily using the Outline. VoiceOver users 
can jump to these markers using the cursor tool. When you export as a Word 
document, for example, these become styled as headings.

• Lists. (minus sign) at the beginning of a paragraph to denote a bulleted 
list, and a number followed by a period and a space denote a numbered list. If 
you'll ultiamtely export the document to HTML, RTF or Word, the numbers will be 
generate in the right sequence.

• Italics. Surround a word or phrase with asterisk to italicize it.

• Bold. Surround a word or phrase with 2 asterisks to bold it.

Formatting

Voice Dream Writer supports a subset of Markdown, a quick way to format the 
text in your document on a mobile device without any of the complications of 
a full-blown Word Processor. Supported Markdown syntax:

• Headings. Use "#" (number sign) at the beginning of a paragraph for 
Headings. Number of "#" (number signs) is the heading level. These acts are 
markers that allow you to navigate the document easily using the Outline. 
VoiceOver users can jump to these markers using the cursor tool. When you 
export as a Word document, for example, these become styled as headings.

• Lists. (minus sign) at the beginning of a paragraph to denote a bulleted 
list, and a number followed by a period and a space denote a numbered list.

According to the help, if you start a line with the pound (#) symbol, you 
should create a level 1 heading. The more pound (#) symbols you add, the 
lower the heading level. So you would insert two # symbols for heading level 
2, three # symbols for heading level 3 etc.

I would assume the number sign.

Formatting

Voice Dream Writer supports a subset of Markdown, a quick way to format the
text in your document on a mobile device without any of the complications of
a full-blown Word Processor. Supported Markdown syntax:

. Headings. Use "#" (number sign) at the beginning of a paragraph for
Headings. Number of "#" (number signs) is the heading level. These acts are
markers that allow you to navigate the document easily using the Outline.
VoiceOver users can jump to these markers using the cursor tool. When you
export as a Word document, for example, these become styled as headings.

. Lists. (minus sign) at the beginning of a paragraph to denote a bulleted
list, and a number followed by a period and a space denote a numbered list.
If you'll ultiamtely export the document to HTML, RTF or Word, the numbers
will be generate in the right sequence.

. Italics. Surround a word or phrase with asterisk to italicize it.

. Bold. Surround a word or phrase with 2 asterisks to bold it.

RE: Voice Dream Writer Review and Description

[Neal Ewers]

Ah. What is confusing here is this.

 

You can create an ordered list by using 1 and a period and a space at the 
beginning of each list item. You don’t have to use 2, 3, 4, etc. This way when 
you want to insert a number, you go to where you want to insert the item and do 
another number 1 and a period followed by a space and the item.

 

What tricked me up is that this doesn’t read well in the writer itself. All the 
items show up as Number 1. However, as the help file says, if you export this 
to html, rtf, etc. then the lists will read with consecutive numbers and the 
inserted ones are numbered correctly for that sequence.

It's a bug and will be fixed in an update due to be released next week. I 
believe in the description that it states that voices in Voice Dream Reader are 
not supported in Writer except for the iOS voices.

Re: Voice Dream Writer Review and Description

[Wren Langley]

Hi all, I got the voice dream writer app. I ran voice stream, and then I closed 
it and went to voice dream writer. It said no available voices. Any suggestions 
please and thank you.

Also, using my iPhone, which is a 5S running iOS eight is there a way to change 
a word document to a text document so I can import it into voice dream writer?

Here is the section from the help file that is a brief introduction to what he 
has included in the Writer app. I hope this helps. 

 

Formatting

Voice Dream Writer supports a subset of Markdown, a quick way to format the 
text in your document on a mobile device without any of the complications of a 
full-blown Word Processor. Supported Markdown syntax:

• Headings. Use "#" (number sign) at the beginning of a paragraph for Headings. 
Number of "#" (number signs) is the heading level. These acts are markers that 
allow you to navigate the document easily using the Outline. VoiceOver users 
can jump to these markers using the cursor tool. When you export as a Word 
document, for example, these become styled as headings.

• Lists. (minus sign) at the beginning of a paragraph to denote a bulleted 
list, and a number followed by a period and a space denote a numbered list. If 
you'll ultiamtely export the document to HTML, RTF or Word, the numbers will be 
generate in the right sequence.

• Italics. Surround a word or phrase with asterisk to italicize it.

• Bold. Surround a word or phrase with 2 asterisks to bold it.

According to the help, if you start a line with the pound (#) symbol, you 
should create a level 1 heading. The more pound (#) symbols you add, the lower 
the heading level. So you would insert two # symbols for heading level 2, three 
# symbols for heading level 3 etc.

Hi all,
Type pound (#), followed by period (.), followed by space, then the item. Keep 
doing this for every item. Don't worry; Writer will do the rest as far as 
numbering goes.

The numbers don't matter. you could have them out of order, or all the same 
number, it makes no difference. The important thing is to have some number, a 
period, a space, then your list item.

RE: Voice Dream Writer Review and Description

[Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D.]

For numbered lists, does one use the number of items in the list as the number 
in the markdown text? If the list changes # of items over time, does the number 
in the markdown need to change too? Thanks.

Here is the section from the help file that is a brief introduction to what he 
has included in the Writer app. I hope this helps.

Formatting
Voice Dream Writer supports a subset of Markdown, a quick way to format the 
text in your document on a mobile device without any of the complications of a 
full-blown Word Processor. Supported Markdown syntax:
• Headings. Use "#" (number sign) at the beginning of a paragraph for Headings. 
Number of "#" (number signs) is the heading level. These acts are markers that 
allow you to navigate the document easily using the Outline. VoiceOver users 
can jump to these markers using the cursor tool. When you export as a Word 
document, for example, these become styled as headings.
• Lists. (minus sign) at the beginning of a paragraph to denote a bulleted 
list, and a number followed by a period and a space denote a numbered list. If 
you'll ultiamtely export the document to HTML, RTF or Word, the numbers will be 
generate in the right sequence.
• Italics. Surround a word or phrase with asterisk to italicize it.
• Bold. Surround a word or phrase with 2 asterisks to bold it.

  It is simply the most powerful Word Processing app I've used on 
an iPhone.  It will take some getting used to, but once you do, it is fantastic!
  Note, it does require iOS 8.1.  It costs $9.99 and is available 
only in English in this first release.
  I recommend reading the help file that is included in the app.
  You can easily move or delete whole paragraphs or sentences.
  You can navigate your document by headings, paragraphs or 
sentences, of course also by word or character.
  It creates an outline as you go which is why it is then easy to 
navigate by those portions of text.
  It has a great spell checker that makes it incredibly easy to 
find and correct misspelled words.
  You can show or hide the outline with a gesture or with a toggle 
button on the screen.
  There are dedicated bluetooth keyboard commands.
  One of my favorite features is being able to set heading levels, 
bulleted lists, bold or italicize text and then export that to a word document 
so it maintains those formatting styles.  
  Now, you can only open text files, not word files.  But, if you 
do the bulk of your rough draft in Writer, then export it to Word .docx format 
to DropBox or example, you can then polish up your document on your computer 
and have your headings, bold, etc., maintained..
  You can also export to Pages to then finish up on your Mac.  I am 
not a Mac user so I cannot speak to how that works exactly.

Re: Voice Dream Writer Review and Description

[Richard Turner]

Here is the section from the help file that is a brief introduction to what he 
has included in the Writer app. I hope this helps. 

Formatting
Voice Dream Writer supports a subset of Markdown, a quick way to format the 
text in your document on a mobile device without any of the complications of a 
full-blown Word Processor. Supported Markdown syntax:
• Headings. Use "#" (number sign) at the beginning of a paragraph for Headings. 
Number of "#" (number signs) is the heading level. These acts are markers that 
allow you to navigate the document easily using the Outline. VoiceOver users 
can jump to these markers using the cursor tool. When you export as a Word 
document, for example, these become styled as headings.
• Lists. (minus sign) at the beginning of a paragraph to denote a bulleted 
list, and a number followed by a period and a space denote a numbered list. If 
you'll ultiamtely export the document to HTML, RTF or Word, the numbers will be 
generate in the right sequence.
• Italics. Surround a word or phrase with asterisk to italicize it.
• Bold. Surround a word or phrase with 2 asterisks to bold it.

According to the help, if you start a line with the pound (#) 
symbol, you should create a level 1 heading. The more pound (#) symbols you 
add, the lower the heading level. So you would insert two # symbols for heading 
level 2, three # symbols for heading level 3 etc.

Greetings,
I was a beta tester for Voice Dream Writer.  
First, let me say that I plan to do all my writing with this app from now on.
It is simply the most powerful Word Processing 
app I've used on an iPhone.  It will take some getting used to, but once you 
do, it is fantastic!
Note, it does require iOS 8.1.  It costs $9.99 
and is available only in English in this first release.
I recommend reading the help file that is 
included in the app.
You can easily move or delete whole paragraphs 
or sentences.
You can navigate your document by headings, 
paragraphs or sentences, of course also by word or character.
It creates an outline as you go which is why it 
is then easy to navigate by those portions of text.
It has a great spell checker that makes it 
incredibly easy to find and correct misspelled words.
You can show or hide the outline with a gesture 
or with a toggle button on the screen.
There are dedicated bluetooth keyboard commands.
One of my favorite features is being able to 
set heading levels, bulleted lists, bold or italicize text and then export that 
to a word document so it maintains those formatting styles.  
Now, you can only open text files, not word 
files.  But, if you do the bulk of your rough draft in Writer, then export it

Where is a good place to learn this markdown stuff? I've heard of it before, 
but I've never used it. It sounds kind of complicated, and I'm a little nervous 
about getting confused by all of it. Is it easier then I'm probably thinking it 
will be?


Thanks,
Ari

  According to the help, if you start a line with the pound (#) symbol, you 
should create a level 1 heading. The more pound (#) symbols you add, the lower 
the heading level. So you would insert two # symbols for heading level 2, three 
# symbols for heading level 3 etc.

  Note, it does require iOS 8.1.  It costs $9.99 and is available only 
in English in this first release.
  I recommend reading the help file that is included in the app.
  You can easily move or delete whole paragraphs or sentences.
  You can navigate your document by headings, paragraphs or sentences, 
of course also by word or character.
  It creates an outline as you go which is why it is then easy to 
navigate by those portions of text.
  It has a great spell checker that makes it incredibly easy to find 
and correct misspelled words.
  You can show or hide the outline with a gesture or with a toggle 
button on the screen.
  There are dedicated bluetooth keyboard commands.
  One of my favorite features is being able to set heading levels, 
bulleted lists, bold or italicize text and then export that to a word document 
so it maintains those formatting styles.  
  Now, you can only open text files, not word files.  But, if you do 
the bulk of your rough draft in Writer, then export it to Word .docx format to 
DropBox or example, you can then polish up your document on your computer and 
have your headings, bold, etc., maintained..
  You can also export to Pages to then finish up on your Mac.  I am not

Hi,

Don’t turn off Voiceover. The app works quite differently with it off, 
providing features designed to help people with dyslexia and similar learning

the app with VoiceOver running.

You do not have to worry about closing a document before doing something else. 
In fact, you can't close a document. You simply open another one or create a 
new one.
Your edits are automatically saved.

Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.

  According to the help, if you start a line with the pound (#) symbol, you 
should create a level 1 heading. The more pound (#) symbols you add, the lower 
the heading level. So you would insert two # symbols for heading level 2, three 
# symbols for heading level 3 etc.

proofreading reduces
  mistakes, phonetic and meaning search help you find the right words, and 
an active
  outline improves the structure of your writing.
  Text-To-Speech Proofreading. Professional proofreaders recommend reading 
out loud
  as the best way to catch mistakes. Like a personal proofreader, Voice 
Dream Writer
  reads your writing using text-to-speech, so you can easily spot awkward 
sentences,
  grammatical errors and typos. Also, it can read words and sentences as 
you type or
  voice dictate. This way, you can type faster because you no longer have 
to look up
  to check the text you just wrote.
  Word Finder. Voice Dream Writer helps you find the right words using 
phonetic search
  and meaning search. For example, search for "inuf" phonetically, and you 
will find
  "enough", and search for "Fast Africa Cat" by meaning and you will find 
"Cheetah."
  Word Finder also shows you the dictionary definition of a word as you 
type without
  you having to select anything or open another program.
  Outline. As you write, Voice Dream Writer automatically creates an 
outline of headings,
  paragraphs and sentences. The Outline helps you structure your document 
better by
  giving you an always-on overview. You can also quickly navigate to a 
section in a
  long document without endless scrolling. Finally, you can drag and drop 
elements
  in the Outline to organize your writing. No more sel

Hi, I can’t figure out how to create a heading of various levels in this app.

Description

Voice Dream Writer helps everyone write better: Text-to-speech proofreading 
reduces

active

outline improves the structure of your writing.

Text-To-Speech Proofreading. Professional proofreaders recommend reading out

as the best way to catch mistakes. Like a personal proofreader, Voice Dream 
Writer

reads your writing using text-to-speech, so you can easily spot awkward 
sentences,

grammatical errors and typos. Also, it can read words and sentences as you type 
or

up

to check the text you just wrote.

Word Finder. Voice Dream Writer helps you find the right words using phonetic 
search

and meaning search. For example, search for "inuf" phonetically, and you will 
find

"enough", and search for "Fast Africa Cat" by meaning and you will find 
"Cheetah."

Word Finder also shows you the dictionary definition of a word as you type

by

giving you an always-on overview. You can also quickly navigate to a section in 
a

long document without endless scrolling. Finally, you can drag and drop elements

in the Outline to organize your writing. No more selecting, cutting and pasting 
large

blocks of text.

Besides these unique features, Voice Dream Writer also comes with everything you

would expect from any great writing tool:

- Comprehensive settings for text appearance

- Uncluttered writing area

- Full text search

- Synchronize and backup with iCloud

- Import and export for Dropbox, Google Drive, and Box.

- Basic markdown support for formatting

- Export to Microsoft Word format (compatible with Apple Pages)

- Support for Bluetooth keyboard

The app is not only fully accessible, it was designed with students and adults 
with

print disabilities in mind. There are special tools for VoiceOver users to 
manage

the cursor and select text. Visually impaired users can also easily find and 
correct

misspelled words by stepping through them. Voice Proofreading and Phonetic 
Search

are invaluable for people with dyslexia.

Hi, A pity you cant open documents in pages/docx format that would have been 
really good although i do understand that this app is more for writing then for 
reading.

The nice thing about accessnote was that it allowed you to keep place in a 
document even when you left the app and that braille cursor routing actually 
worked as it is supposed to, hopefully this will work in voicedreamreader as 
well.

I still hope that more formats will be added in the future that can be opened.

Also i hope that more languages (also spelling ) will be added.

Certainly will give it a look though.

Greetings,

 

I was a beta tester for Voice Dream Writer.  First, let me say that I plan to 
do all my writing with this app from now on.

It is simply the most powerful Word Processing app I've used on an iPhone.  It 
will take some getting used to, but once you do, it is fantastic!

Note, it does require iOS 8.1.  It costs $9.99 and is available only in English 
in this first release.

I recommend reading the help file that is included in the app.

You can easily move or delete whole paragraphs or sentences.

You can navigate your document by headings, paragraphs or sentences, of course 
also by word or character.

It creates an outline as you go which is why it is then easy to navigate by 
those portions of text.

It has a great spell checker that makes it incredibly easy to find and correct 
misspelled words.

You can show or hide the outline with a gesture or with a toggle button on the 
screen.

There are dedicated bluetooth keyboard commands.

One of my favorite features is being able to set heading levels, bulleted 
lists, bold or italicize text and then export that to a word document so it 
maintains those formatting styles.  

 

Now, you can only open text files, not word files.  But, if you do the bulk of 
your rough draft in Writer, then export it to Word .docx format to DropBox or 
example, you can then polish up your document on your computer and have your 
headings, bold, etc., maintained..

You can also export to Pages to then finish up on your Mac.  I am not a Mac 
user so I cannot speak to how that works exactly.

If you own Voice Dream Reader and update to version 3.40 of the Reader and run 
it once, all your voices from Voice Dream Reader will be available to you in 
Writer.

 

I highly recommend this app!

 

Here is the description from the app store.

 

Description

Voice Dream Writer helps everyone write better: Text-to-speech proofreading 
reduces

mistakes, phonetic and meaning search help you find the right words, and an 
active

outline improves the structure of your writing.

Text-To-Speech Proofreading. Professional proofreaders recommend reading out 
loud

as the best way to catch mistakes. Like a personal proofreader, Voice Dream 
Writer

reads your writing using text-to-speech, so you can easily spot awkward 
sentences,

grammatical errors and typos. Also, it can read words and sentences as you type 
or

voice dictate. This way, you can type faster because you no longer have to look 
up

to check the text you just wrote.

Word Finder. Voice Dream Writer helps you find the right words using phonetic 
search

and meaning search. For example, search for "inuf" phonetically, and you will 
find

"enough", and search for "Fast Africa Cat" by meaning and you will find 
"Cheetah."

Word Finder also shows you the dictionary definition of a word as you type 
without

you having to select anything or open another program.

Outline. As you write, Voice Dream Writer automatically creates an outline of 
headings,

paragraphs and sentences. The Outline helps you structure your document better 
by

giving you an always-on overview. You can also quickly navigate to a section in 
a

long document without endless scrolling. Finally, you can drag and drop elements

in the Outline to organize your writing. No more selecting, cutting and pasting 
large

blocks of text.

Besides these unique features, Voice Dream Writer also comes with everything you

would expect from any great writing tool:

- Comprehensive settings for text appearance

- Uncluttered writing area

- Full text search

- Synchronize and backup with iCloud

- Import and export for Dropbox, Google Drive, and Box.

- Basic markdown support for formatting

- Export to Microsoft Word format (compatible with Apple Pages)

- Support for Bluetooth keyboard

The app is not only fully accessible, it was designed with students and adults 
with

print disabilities in mind. There are special tools for VoiceOver users to

Thanks for letting us know about this interview.

I just listened to it.  For anyone who doesn’t know the back story of how 
Winston Chen came to write Voice Dream Reader or want to hear more about Writer 
from the developer, it is worth a listen.

James Oates does the interview and he was a beta tester, which he states early 
on.

Here is the link to the interview:

Enjoy,

an interview with Winston Chen, sorry if I misspelled, about voice dream reader 
and voice dream writer and the story behind it. It was a great listen and I was 
blown away by the developers dedication to make voice dream writer. Anyways, I

Hi Teresa and all,

Braille display support isn't perfect; when you move through text using the 
cursor tool, the braille doesn't follow, for instance. However, if you move to 
a particular spot using the cursor tool and then use the Previous Item command, 
you end up in your text at the right spot, with your display focused where you 
would expect. Also, the braille Find text command, F-chord, works just fine, so 
you can use that to find a particular spot.

Best,
Anna

The app is not only fully accessible, it was designed with students and adults 
with

print disabilities in mind. There are special tools for VoiceOver users to 
manage

the cursor and select text. Visually impaired users can also easily find and 
correct

misspelled words by stepping through them. Voice Proofreading and Phonetic 
Search

are invaluable for people with dyslexia.

Voice Dream Writer will continue to evolve. We would love to hear from you!

keyboard during testing that I did not drag out a braille display.  Dumb, I 
know.

I am not at work today and that is where my braille display is.

I will check tomorrow when I hope to be back at work.

My apologies.

 

Richard

How well does it work with a Braille display?

Greetings,

 

I was a beta tester for Voice Dream Writer.  First, let me say that I plan to 
do all my writing with this app from now on.

It is simply the most powerful Word Processing app I've used on an iPhone.  It 
will take some getting used to, but once you do, it is fantastic!

Note, it does require iOS 8.1.  It costs $9.99 and is available only in English 
in this first release.

I recommend reading the help file that is included in the app.

You can easily move or delete whole paragraphs or sentences.

You can navigate your document by headings, paragraphs or sentences, of course 
also by word or character.

It creates an outline as you go which is why it is then easy to navigate by 
those portions of text.

It has a great spell checker that makes it incredibly easy to find and correct 
misspelled words.

You can show or hide the outline with a gesture or with a toggle button on the 
screen.

There are dedicated bluetooth keyboard commands.

One of my favorite features is being able to set heading levels, bulleted 
lists, bold or italicize text and then export that to a word document so it 
maintains those formatting styles.  

 

Now, you can only open text files, not word files.  But, if you do the bulk of 
your rough draft in Writer, then export it to Word .docx format to DropBox or 
example, you can then polish up your document on your computer and have your 
headings, bold, etc., maintained..

You can also export to Pages to then finish up on your Mac.  I am not a Mac 
user so I cannot speak to how that works exactly.

If you own Voice Dream Reader and update to version 3.40 of the Reader and run 
it once, all your voices from Voice Dream Reader will be available to you in 
Writer.

 

I highly recommend this app!

 

Here is the description from the app store.

 

Description

Voice Dream Writer helps everyone write better: Text-to-speech proofreading 
reduces

mistakes, phonetic and meaning search help you find the right words, and an 
active

outline improves the structure of your writing.

Text-To-Speech Proofreading. Professional proofreaders recommend reading out 
loud

as the best way to catch mistakes. Like a personal proofreader, Voice Dream 
Writer

reads your writing using text-to-speech, so you can easily spot awkward 
sentences,

grammatical errors and typos. Also, it can read words and sentences as you type 
or

voice dictate. This way, you can type faster because you no longer have to look 
up

to check the text you just wrote.

Word Finder. Voice Dream Writer helps you find the right words using phonetic 
search

and meaning search. For example, search for "inuf" phonetically, and you will 
find

"enough", and search for "Fast Africa Cat" by meaning and you will find 
"Cheetah."

Word Finder also shows you the dictionary definition of a word as you type 
without

you having to select anything or open another program.

Outline. As you write, Voice Dream Writer automatically creates an outline of 
headings,

paragraphs and sentences. The Outline helps you structure your document better 
by

giving you an always-on overview. You can also quickly navigate to a section in 
a

long document without endless scrolling. Finally, you can drag and drop elements

in the Outline to organize your writing. No more selecting, cutting and pasting 
large

blocks of text.

Besides these unique features, Voice Dream Writer also comes with everything you

would expect from any great writing tool:

- Comprehensive settings for text appearance

- Uncluttered writing area

- Full text search

- Synchronize and backup with iCloud

- Import and export for Dropbox, Google Drive, and Box.

- Basic markdown support for formatting

- Export to Microsoft Word format (compatible with Apple Pages)

- Support for Bluetooth keyboard

The app is not only fully accessible, it was designed with students and adults 
with

print disabilities in mind. There are special tools for VoiceOver users to 
manage

the cursor and select text. Visually impaired users can also easily find and 
correct

misspelled words by stepping through them

Does it allow for braille display support? For example, can the Bluetooth 
keyboard commands be substituted with a braille display?
