I recently downloaded Speech Central to give it a try. As a VoiceOver user, I thought we had access to all features? I've noticed on the extras tab there is a button labelled Log In To Websites and it is dimmed. What does this button do, and how are additional features accessed?
iOS and iPadOS

Speech Central has added several notable new features in the latest version that is available on iOS 11.
1. PDF support - with the support of PDF format all major text/e-book file formats are supported now, and the number of supported formats now raises to 11. The PDF support includes the support for password protected files. Also the text is imported in a smart way so that repeating text in the header or footer of the page is skipped.
2. Comments tool - now you can attach a comment to the paragraph to annotate the text.

Hello,
soon there will be 10 years from the release of the first version of Speech Central (at that point it was called Share to Speech and was released for Windows).
As part of that event a completely new version of Speech Central for iOS and macOS rewritten from the scratch is being prepared.
Post Date:
During the beta testing or just after the new version launch one user here has reported that he/she had a problem regarding the speed where the app would start to read at normal speed and then significantly slow down.
As I now know the cause of this I wanted to provide the feedback, but my searches for that post were not successful. So I hope that that person will read this and that this might be useful for others too.

As Siri shortcuts may be a great accessibility feature, Speech Central has launched initial support for 28 Siri commands almost as soon as the iOS 12 has launched.
You need first to perform the command in the app (like pressing the button that will take you to the next paragraph) and after that you can define a phrase in the system settings to invoke this command using Siri (like 'Read the next paragraph').

Is there a setting to shorten the time when reading books in speech central and say you go from chapter 1 to chapter 2, to shorten the pause between chapters? At the moment I seem to have a 3 to 4 second pause whenever advancing to a new chapter when reading, but is there a way to make said pause between chapters shorter?

Is there anyway I can know my location in a book? In EasyReader, there is option where the location is provided in chapter, level, percentage and page if applicable. If this feature does not exist in Speech Central, please, developer, integrate it in future releases.
Thanks.

Hello all.
I am, like so many others, looking for a way to migrate my VDR book selection to a new safe Haven! I would like SPeech Central to be that haven? But....
How do I migrate my more than 500 Bookshare titles currently stored in Voice Dream Reader to SPeech Central?
And can I log into bookshare to download books like I can on VDR, or do I have to download the books onto my Phone and then import the books into Speech central?

I might have asked this before here, but I forgot the answer and I searched the site and found nothing. In the Speech Central app, how to know which page number I am in? I have a book in PDF format, in the EasyReader app it shows me the page number at the top of each page, in Speech central and for the same document the page numbers do not exist. I need to reference some content from the book so page numbers are really important.

Hi, it was previously in ios 13, i can switch between voiceover pronunciation channels. So that I let the voiceover voice speak through the left or right speaker, or both, where I make the voiceover voice speak from the right side and so I can watch the movies, but now this option does not work and it is present in the voiceover setting. Then sound, then the option is there, but it does not work. The option appears when wearing a headphone. I hope you will try and help me

With the Notes feature I can use the dictation function for only a very short time, maybe 10 seconds. Can it be used for a longer period?
I would like to convert much more speech to text. TIA

Is there a way to speed up the audio of a podcast in the podcasts app? Thanks.
Post Date:
Hello. I have a question/request for AppleVis members. As the title for this post states, I am interested in finding an app that will speed up audio podcasts. I have tried several recommended podcast apps, and do know that some offer speed options. Downcast is my favorite so far. Iām actually looking for an app that speeds up audio to a larger degree, similar to a digital talking book player, Victor Reader Stream, etc.

I use the Square register ap, along with the Square stand to run my food service business. It takes too long to check a customer out using my current method of swiping through the list of previously entered items in the library, then making the correct selection, clicking add, then moving to the next item ordered.
I'm wondering if there is a way to "touch" select these items in the same way the touch typing setting allows us to more quickly enter text.

Thank you.

I have a Ipad Air, less than two months old, and a Iphone 5S, also less than two months old. I use a Zagg bluetooth keyboard case for the Ipad.
I am learning my first screenreader in VoiceOver.
As a writer, it is vital that I can spell check documents. However, I cannot figure out how to spell check with VoiceOver on.

Hi folks,
Can anyone help me find the area of the googledocs app where spellcheck can be done? It seems I found it a while back and now can't seem to locate it. Thanks.
