I purchased this app several years ago. Since I purchased it I have used it to “read” hundreds of books and articles. Most of the material I have “read” with this app is not available as a professionally narrated audio and never will be. This includes many obscure religious and medical texts and manuscripts — more than I can count. I am constantly on the go and almost never have time to sit down and read a printed or digital book. Yet, with this app I have been able to get through many thousands of pages of material that never would have been possible otherwise. I listen nearly every day while I drive, walk, jog and sometimes while I work. Although the app is not perfect (pronunciation is sometimes incorrect) it is good enough for me to understand. I appreciate that the developer has continued to improve the product. For example, in the last year I discovered I can use it to listen to podcasts and even videos that I download for offline use. I would be ungrateful not to leave a 5 star review, because without exaggerating I can say that this has changed my life. I now have a steady stream of valuable information flowing to my mind. This is information that was simply out of reach to me before — mainly due to constraints on my time. This has helped me immensely with preparing to teach classes and in my medical career.

I will type up my notes and save them as a pdf file. Then transfer the file into voice dream. This application does really well with medical terminology, which I was surprised with; however, this application struggles with numbers and abbreviations. I have adapted to not using abbreviations in my notes or I will use the replace function in Microsoft Word to find and replace any abbreviations. For numbers, you are better off spelling them out. This will make any pdf into an audiobook essentially. Just rememberer, just because you hear it doesn’t mean you learned it. you will still need to actively listen to gain something from this. I will have many pages of notes compiled to make a study guide for a test, and it would take me hours to read myself, where I can use voice dream to expedite my studies, allowing me to get more done in a short time. I really enjoy the tracker so that you can actively watch the dialogue be read. I bought the package, and this is the only app that I use from it. I really wish that there was better tools such as highlighting and the ability to freely write on the document with the Apple Pencil. I say this because I have imported textbooks over to this application, and this would be helpful to me!

The standard out of the box voice (Heather) is the most human-like I’ve ever heard. Also, the “pronunciation dictionary” feature is amazing - allows you to change how the voices pronounce certain words if you don’t like the default pronunciation. This is great for the few instances where there’s a word or acronym or name that occurs frequently in a text (reoccurring newsletter or book) that I want Voice Dream to say it differently from the default. I hope the App is taking this data that we users meticulously enter and is using it to guide future adjustments and improvements to the reading engine that the developers build. While this app is nearly flawless in my eyes now, one annoying bug has keeps in recently: when switching into the app to a reading that has been paused, it frequently jumps to a random point in the text on the screen. If I hit play, it resumes playing at the point where I left off and a quick 2-finger tap will take me back so the right part of the text shows on the screen, but it’s annoying to have to do this when I am regularly switching between Voice Dream and another app I use to take notes on the books I read (Microsoft Word, in case that helps catch the bug!). I hope the team can hunt this one down as they have caught all the others in the past. Keep it up! :)

My initial review was per sumptuous and precocious as well as an educated. I judgment was not from a neutral standpoint. I treated this review at that time like the room they treated me. I was in Butte with and negative demeanor. I ask myself a few questions; how could I make this application better? What was hard about this application? What could be more intuitive within the menuing? What is great about this application? I have low vision that is very bad meaning I need backlit monitors to see anything and I see hardly at all because I detached retina. So the only specialize question I could ask how could this application work better for my issue, and what has been done an application that is universal for all of us either with reading dyslexia or site problems or blindness. m I found an auto control that all puts the highlighting tool down on the plate pause menu when you have a speaking tool activated. Are use both speaking and vision because I’m not completely sure yet. I believe that there should be quick and easy choices at the top the hierarchy for blindness/low vision. I give it five stars though! Great job!

I absolutely love this app! It is far and away the best reader on the market. I work full-time, commute many hours, take care of my kids in a household, and started a second masters degree program last year. Voice Dream Reader makes graduate school possible for me. I am reading my homework while driving, walking, washing the dishes, cooking dinner, folding my laundry, brushing my teeth.... I can adjust the pronunciation for specific words or acronyms, I can adjust the reading speed And choose from voices, I can tap a small button and mark the paragraph, or highlight certain portions of text. I couldn’t do my program without this app. So many features, and the developers are impressive at their support and their constant improvements. I’ve had a couple issues, and sent an email. Not only have I received a personal response each time, from an real person who cares about the problem, but every time the problem actually got fixed or the question satisfactorily answered. Every time. I am very, very grateful for voice dream reader!
