Is the app available yet?
it's showing coming soon for me. Is it my location?
You mean the basic Reader? I herd of a new one?
I've had the Reader in the UK for months and earlier today it was in the App Store, I was looking for there new app that I had heard about - didn't find that.
E books
Can you use the voices to read? E books or Books on your Kindle.
Seems interesting
I've just downloaded the app on my phone, gonna see what its like, and hopefully they will expand the features over time.
Yes, the basic reader
@Assistive Intellegence Yes, the basic reader. First I tried searching for it in the app store, and then I clicked on the link given here. the same result either time.
Seems Amazing
I've yet to listen to the associated podcast episode or download this app, but it looks great. I've heard several of the Eleven Labs voices and they're great. This leads me to my question. Would the trick described recently in another thread on here work for making this app more accessible? I'm referring to the long-press on an inaccessible button or other element. In any case, I'm most definitely going to grab myself a copy of this app at some point.
Who knows then Gokul
Looks like other people are finding it. I can't even remember where my phone thinks it is, I've been playing with the VPN to see what adds are like around the world! Dog food in spanish was getting old!
Wow!
I don’t often say this but Wow. I enjoy writing short stories every once in a while and I plugged in one of my stories and had the different voices reading them and I’m totally amazed. I kept thinking “I wrote this?” It is like having your own audiobook reader reading the story. If you are having problems importing a file from the File app, you can copy the text, go into the Reader app, hit Import button then the Write Text button then paste your text. The Reader app saves it after that and you don’t have to copy and paste again. You can then switch to other voices. On the More button I see an option to Share but that is dimmed out. I hope I will eventually be able to share with family and friends with my story being read by one of the voices. If anybody knows why this is dimmed out and if you figure it out would appreciate an explanation.
Regards
Danny
Answering and Thoughts
Hey Alexandra,
Unfortunately, I can’t definitively answer your question about Kindle book support. My guess is that it doesn’t support Kindle books due to copyright protections and encryption. However, it does support Text, PDF, and eBook formats. I’m not sure if it will ever support the encrypted formats from Amazon.
Ekaj, let’s hope they consider making this more accessible for us. We should reach out to the developers and request this feature. The more of us who ask, the more likely they are to improve the app for VoiceOver users.
Danny, thanks for sharing how this has brought your short stories to life with the new voices. That’s exciting, and I’m thrilled to hear you enjoy hearing your stories in a new way. It must be a great feeling.
I’m curious, which voices have you all come to love and use the most?
