I've used Overdrive here in the United States with local library books and unless they have made a lot of changes, Voice Dream Reader will be a far better experience. Plus, Voice Dream Reader will read lots of other text formats and you can easily drop bookmarks adjust playback speed, etc.

It's called Over Drive console. You can get the console from the App store already as other providers already use the application for their book offerings. Thanks.

The reason i ask this question is that i have heard so many good things about Fantastical but i don't like the fact that i have to type in english to make the calendar app work, worse yet, i wrote to the support and they said that they thought it would be a difficult and time consuming task to localize Fantastical into other languages so the question i want to ask here is are there any non-english speakers who actually prefer Fantastical over their built-in calendar and for what reason? >>>> I want to try the app but feel reluctant for the same reason i don't use Siri, which only is available in English and a couple more other languages but not Swedish. In Apples case i don't like that they do strictly anglocentric features but, and this is a rettorical question so no need to answer:-) but should one be as strict when it comes to things like Fantastical?

I find Calendar easy enough to use, and have never really had problems with it. It's not the best, but it's fine. I guess I'm wondering what features people like about Fantastical that make it worth it? Also, will Fantastical hook into iOS' calendars? That is, if I make an appointment with it, will that then sync to iOS, and from there propagate through iCloud to sync with my Mac's default calendar app? >>>>>>> On Jul 26, 2014, at 3:11 PM, Brian Fischler <brianfisch...@me.com> wrote: >>>>>>> >>>>>>> Thanks Jenny.

I have heard mixed on this app from the VoiceOver community, but am thinking about finally buying it, wanted to see what people here thought of it. I rarely use the calendar app on the iPhone as it is kind of a pain to use, are people finding it much smoother to use the fantastical calendar? I do use reminders a lot but I like being able to just hold in the button to quickly launch Siri to create a reminder. I assume using the reminder part of Fantastical will just take launching the app first, but is just as easy? Also I read that the mac version is not as accessible with VO. Does anyone know if that has changed? One of the things I love most about the native reminders app is having a reminder pop up on my iMac and iPhone, and can dismiss very easily. Just wanted to get the most recent opinions of the app. Thanks, >>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>> -- >>>>>>>>> The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
