I actually like eloquence. I've been using it on my computers for years. I even had E-speek as my iPhone voice over voice for a while because it could go so fast. Eloquence doesn't sound quite as good on the iPhone, as it does on my computer, but pretty close. I would have no problem having elo

Repeat Check sounds like an app worth checking out. Using those terms I found nothing in the Apple app store. Can you verify this is the app name? Who is the developer? Thanks, Jeff -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of R Van Lant Sent: Monday, March 20, 2023

I like Repeat Check. Someone on this list recommended it years ago and it's been really helpful. I have all sorts of lists from gift ideas, to movies I want to see, questions to ask my doctor at my next visit, and places I want to visit and so on. As someone described doing with the Reminders a

I can deal with specific TTS voices reading to me. I like James in VDR. However, I do not think I would like Microsoft Sam or Eloquence reading to me a book I want to enjoy. You old timers will remember Microsoft Sam. LOL! Sent from my iPhone Pro Max > On Mar 20, 2023, at 6:20 PM, Joshua He

Like you said, it's a matter of choice. I've pulled up books in Kindle and read them with a TTS, but all things being equal, I'd prefer a human reader. I don't have a problem with people preferring a human reader, since as you said, it's their choice. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) =>÷ Chaltain at Out

I have never understood why some blind people don't like TTS books and refuse to read them. I also use bookshare. They have books that I couldn't get anywhere else. I can either listen to different TTS voices read them to me in voice dream reader, or I have a BI40X and can read the books in brai

You can use the Reminders app. I made a list called "Shopping" and I can add items and if I double tap them they get marked as completed and disappear. If later on I want to buy these items again I an select to show completed items and then I simply go through my list of items and double tap the

It is just another way to read books. It means that more books will be available for more people. I have read books with text to speech for years and the voices they have now, particularly with apps, such as voice dream, are so good after a while you don’t even notice it. At least I don’t.
