Re: Voice Dream Reader now going under new name in App Store updates

[Richard Turner]

Nothing will change for people who bought the app before Winston sold Voice Dream LLC. They are committed to keeping the app updated and expanded where necessary. The name change was to widen the possible audiance since if someone searches for text to speech, or TTS they will also find Voice Dream Reader. It could happen that one day in the future even those of us who purchased the app may be asked to subscribe, who knows, but there are no plans to do that anytime soon.  For my part, I would gladly pay a subscription fee; just like I do with Microsoft 365, Apple Music, Amazon Prime, etc. Richard, USA. “What we think or what we know or what we believe is in the end of little consequence.

I checked directly with the new owners and they purchased the Voice Dream LLC. name as well and it is still, and likely always will be, Voice Dream LLC. However, the app store, for some unknown reason is showing Natural Reader Audio books, but if you double tap on that button or just read a little further down in the app store listing, you fine it says Voice Dream LLC.

Now, the name of the product shown in the Updates section of the App Store is Text to Speech TTS Voice Dream instead of Voice Dream Reader. I found this a bit confusing and wanted to make others aware of it.   Alan Lemly -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.   If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself.   Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.
