Hello Marie and thank you for your very kind and gracious words. I am so happy that you are successfully using Overdrive.
It truly is a marvelous resource. You really made my day. Thank you again. Mark -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Marie N.

Mark, Just to let you know, after reading several of your posts concerning Overdrive app, I decided to give it a try. I am totally blind but am now using the app on a regular basis. I had some problems getting the library set up but I am finding that I can use the program successfully. I belong to Audible but always check the availability of the books I want in the library first. I want to thank you for the encouragement to use the app because the first time I tried it did not seem accessible enough for regular usage. Marie -----Original Message----- From: M.

Hello Lelia, I am going to paste in an answer that I posted to the list a while ago: As some in this community may recall, I am a huge fan of Over Drive. I use it, exclusively, to download commercial audio books; from classic fiction such as “Gone with the Wind,” to modern non-fiction releases such as Hillary Clinton’s recently published, “What Happened.” Having said this, the answer to your question will depend a great deal on whether or not you have any usable vision. I will confess that Over Drive is one of the few apps on my phone that compels me to use my vision in order to access certain areas of an audio book. This is not to say that these areas are not VoiceOver accessible but, accessing them requires more explore-by-touch than iOS users have come to expect. So, while the names of each chapter and section heading are completely VoiceOver accessible, accessing this area can be a bit challenging if one is totally blind. Regardless, I will suggest the following navigation strategy, which requires no vision, whatsoever, in order to execute: 1. Place focus on the Play/Pause button, located near the bottom center of the display. 2. Single-finger, swipe from right-to-left, once. This will place focus on the “Skip Back 15 Seconds”, button. 3. Single-finger, swipe from right-to-left, again, in order to land on the “Audio book, Previous Heading”, button. Each time you activate this button. You will be taken back one subsection/chapter, at a time. Good Luck and Enjoy, Mark -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Lelia Struve Sent: Saturday, April 07, 2018 1:23 PM To: Viphone Subject: Overdrive how to use it? Hello everyone, so I didn’t know you could do this but I got a library card online. So I got the over Drive app, but I can’t seem to save my library. Any tips on how to use this app would be greatly appreciated. I went to the Apple vis site and didn’t find too much. I thought someone would have made a podcast but no luck. Thanks for any and all tips and tricks! Lelia Sent from my iPhone -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
