Hi, No, you can't turn off the voice, but the text is always on the screen. If he doesn't need the voice output, but is reading it visually, just don't hit the play button.
The app is designed to be used for listening to books, but you can just manually scroll the pages and read it visually if you choose.

He has a bookshare account. Is there a way to turn off the voice and still read the text? Thanks.

If you have your own DAISY books, it is actually possible to open it. I haven't publicized it. Take your .zip DAISY book and change ".zip" to ".daisy". Put the file in Dropbox, and open it from Voice Dream Reader. I heard that the directory structure in the zip file must be correct: same as the DIASY files you download from Bookshare. If that's the case, it should work. Best, Winston.

My short term goal is to make my app at least as accessible as iBooks, which does not have things like navigation by sentence. I don't think iBooks support line mode in the Rotor which Voice Dream will. I think with the next release, Voice Dream will be more accessible than iBooks. Winston.

Speaking for myself, the thing that really prevents me from relying on it is a lack of granular control about navigating the text i.e. spelling out a specific word, reviewing the text by line or sentence, etc. Of course, this won't be an issue once VoiceOver is able to see the text, but it is an issue for now. Perhaps with VoiceOver able to track where you are, and some more navigation options i.e. forcing the rewind and fast forward to navigate by sentence rather than in thirty second increments, I'll be able to rely on the app. Cheers.
