If you have paid for it already you are grandfathered in. the subscription is
for new customers.

Hi, everyone,
I absolutely loved Soundscape. I believe it was put out by Microsoft, right?

Hi Leo, et al.
I just heard about this and here is the answer I sent to the BlindApples
list.
I have a pretty good relationship with Winston Chen, the developer of the
Voice Dream apps, so I wrote him directly and inquired.
He has given me permission to share the below information.
Note that no one yet knows the timing of the iOS/iPadOS subscription
model.
Also, he is quite confident that the group he mentions below who acquired
Voice Dream Reader will take good care of the app or he wouldn't have sold it
to them.
On yet another note before I share what Winston said, I agree with him
that the one-time charge model of app development is not sustainable if you
need an app to grow and change with current technology. If only one programmer
knows the code, and something happens to that developer, the app will die.
This way, you end up with a team maintaining the app.
Here is what Winston said:
" Voice Dream Reader (both iOS and macOS versions), and the brand “Voice
Dream”, were acquired by Applause Group.
The pricing decision was made by Applause - I was not aware of the amount
and timing. But I totally support transitioning Voice Dream Reader to a
subscription model. The one-time-price model is not sustainable. I planned to
do it myself before the acquisition.
On a separate note, Scanner and Writer were not acquired, and they will
remain my apps. they will be renamed to VDScan and VDWrite, and under a new
company named Opus Noma.
There should’ve been communication about the acquisition but due to a
legal issue, I have not been able to announce it.
More from me about this soon..."
An official statement will be coming soon. What soon means, I have no
idea. Be patient.
And, at this time, VDScan and VDWrite will remain one-time purchases.
HTH,
Richard, USA.
