include the "reader voices" from the original PC applications with the Read2Go app.
My students prefer the "reader voice" selections used in the PC applications, saying they are more natural and fluent sounding than the two included on the app.
33 votesYes, Voice Dream Reader is a nice app that integrates with Bookshare using our API, and does offer additional voices as in-app purchases.
For you Voice Dream Reader users, are there reasons that you are staying on Read2Go vs. moving over to Voice Dream entirely? Are the additional in-app voices priced correctly on Voice Dream?
I also see comments from some members that they would like to be able to re-purpose voices that they have already licensed in other Apps within Read2Go. My understanding is that iOS doesn’t support this concept of cross-app sharing of resources, but if you have examples of other apps that have been able to make use of voices already on your device, we can investigate.
We would still love to hear more insights from Read2Go users on which voices and how much you are willing to pay (keeping in mind that we have to…

Support background playback & nav controls when locked
Like the iPod app, the Audible and Stitcher Apps can play while the device is locked, and will stop and start with two-finger double-tap. Also, play resumes after disconnecting from a call. I imagine this could only work with the speech engine and not with voice-over reading. Other than a few reproducable crashes, this is a great first approximation of Bookshare on iOS.

Improve audio playback controls usability and access
This may involve conflicts with voice over or zoom but how about on screen controls for audio without having to accurately tap small target. Many options like two fingers tap to play and stop or right flick one finger for next and two fingers for next section.

Offer additional voices in Read2Go
It would be so wonderful if the voices were more human, not so choppy. I don't know how this could be done but it would be a breakthrough for users.

Delay in highlighted word and audio voice.
In Read:OutLoud this problem is solved by adjusting pitch, and in Victor Reader Soft it was very prominent and not adjustable. ReadPlease and Balabolka this delay does not exist and is not problem, but they are a text to speech software which works by clipping and pasting. This is a big quality issue.

Microsoft Mary voice please.
Microsoft Mary voice is the best voice for high speeds for me. At 200% Heather is not as good.

TO MAKE THE DEMO WITHOUT BACKGROUND MUSIC, BECAUSE IT IS VERY DISTRACTING! THANKS cc
the demo/sample could be much better if there is not background music or it is very very soft... otherwise there are too many competing sounds : explanation/description of the product, "reading" of sections, plus the annoying music.Thanks

The audiobook is disrupted after every phrase and sometimes for every word.
I bought the applicated and uploaded my audiobooks via itunes (daisybooks) and I'm quite dissapointed because they don't play properly. When I listen the audiorecordig it's like trying to listen to a song while someone constantly is pressing an on and off button. It's unbareable. I have tried many different books now and there is no difference.
