Re: Please submit feedback to Apple about Voice Dream Reader

Hi again, Apologies, but after listening to Jonathan's take on this, it seems like support is advising users that this week's update was only a warning, and that the update which removes functionality won't be released until May. In that case, I apologize for the misinformation and it may be

Please submit feedback to Apple about Voice Dream Reader

Hey guys, If you search for Voice Dream Reader on the App Store, open the page for the app, and scroll down, there is an option to "report a problem". Please consider reporting what the developer is doing to Apple. I am not sure if it violates any developer guidelines, but it sure seems like it

Speech Central developer?

Hi. Does anyone have the e-mail address of the Speech Central developer app? If I recall well, sometimes he pops in, isn't it? Maybe someone caught his address? Cheers, Leo Bado. I have found both freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us

Re: Jonathan Mosens take on the VoiceDream issue

I agree with you completely Dennis. This is why I feel the way I do about the subscription. This company does not engage with us as a community at all and all they want is money. An alternative to Voice Dream for those who are interested is Dolphin EasyReader, which apparently does offer a

Re: Jonathan Mosens take on the VoiceDream issue

It appears to me that what ever the rights, wrongs and merits of the new pricing structure are the choice is simple, subscribe or don’t. I doubt very much that the creators of the app in question monitor this list so all we are doing is arguing amongst ourselves. It is well worth noting that

RE: Jonathan Mosens take on the VoiceDream issue

So lets say they at least did a poor job of explaining what was to come. My issue is should we trust them that we will pay the $60 a year? Are we really locked into that price as their blog post states? Or if it goes up to $150 next year is it 25% off that $150? This is what happens when

Dennis, You need to get your facts straight. The Applause Group bought Voice Dream LLC in April of 2023. Applause Group never said you would never have to pay. They said you didn’t have to pay right away. Jonathan’s take is pretty clear, this is a good business decision. But, you are

Re: VoiceDream Alternatives

I think speechify has a lot of potential, but they need to make the interface simple in the wave voice stream reader is. They also really need to add alternative voices, the problem with many of these services is they mainly use the iOS voices that are already built in and that gets really old

In addition to Speechify, I'm aware of Book Player and Speech Central. I used Book Player before I switched to Voice Dream. I was OK with it but importing audio books from One Drive took forever. It also didn't have all of the features that you find in Voice Dream. I took a quick look at Speech

VoiceDream Alternatives

Now that Applause is forcing people who bought VoiceDream Reader to subscribe, I'm looking for good alternatives. Free would be nice, of course, but I'm potentially willing to pay, so long as it's not a subscription. I've tried Speechify, which I liked, but the speech was much too slow. --
