-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Esther Sent: 10 November 2013 2:15 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: differences between read2go and voice dream reader Hi Pablo, First of all, it is not true that you have to transfer DAISY books to Read2Go using iTunes file sharing. Since the latest release (version 1.0.3.10) in May 2013, Read2Go has supported the "Open In" feature. This is a feature I had requested ever since Read2Go was first released. There is a podcast demonstration by David Woodbridge demonstrating the transfer of DAISY text books from Vision Australia through Dropbox and using the "Open In" feature to direct the book to be opened in Read2Go, I have transferred eBooks including DAISY text formatted books into both Read2Go and Voice Dream Reader this way without ever having to use iTunes file sharing. For example, DRM-free eBooks I have purchased from O'Reilly Books are available for download under my account at their web site in a variety of formats (ePub, PDF, Mobi, DAISY, etc.). When I activate a download link on my iPhone by double tapping, I'm offered the option to "Open In" a default app (for DAISY, this is Read2Go on my iPhone, so one button is "Open in Read2Go"; for ePub, the default is "Open in IBooks") or to "Open in." and then a range of supporting apps on my device, if I double tap that button. Secondly, while it is true that Read2Go offers better support for reading and navigating through books with Braille devices than Voice Dream Reader, it only supports English text-to-speech voices. Voice Dream Reader, in addition to supporting many more document formats, lets you read your text with TTS voices in many other languages, including NeoSpeech voices, which are very nice. When I use the purchased voices, PDFs that include accented characters are pronounced correctly. This is not true if you read these PDFs in iBooks with the default voices. It's not so noticeable if you only read in languages that either don't used Roman letters, or if you only read in English, where accented characters are infrequently used. Also, this doesn't happen if you read ePub versions of the same text. You can still recognize most of the words, even if they are mispronounced, so if you don't care about having to check the accented words character by character to check the spelling, or you have access to these documents in another format, this feature may not be important to you. HTH. Cheers, Esther -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. Post a new message to VIPhone by emailing [email protected].
