Hi, The VO key, is not a key, it is a pair of keys. It is the Control Plus Options key pressed together when you then hit another key. Richard “The secret is not to make your music louder, but to make the world quieter.” - Mitch Albom from The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto, page 1 From: v

RE: Book share an voice dream reader

You do not have to buy any VoiceOver voices. Go into the VoiceOver settings, select speech, and assuming Samantha is your default voice, you should find an option after selecting it again to download the Enhanced version. You have to download it before it is available to Voice Dream Reader. Rich

I'm not sure if it is the same voice. It is a voice on your iPhone. It is what I use for VoiceOver, and it works well when selected in Voice Dream. I prefer the Enhanced version though it takes more space, but I think its sound quality. Richard “The secret is not to make your music louder, b
