Long overdue review
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.

Five full-freaking-stars!
If I could, I would just sit around reading book after book, day after day. Unfortunately, the real world doesn’t work that way. Voice Dream Reader is a GODSEND for those of us that love books but don’t have the time to sit down and read them. I’m into a lot of indie authors, and while more and more are choosing narration, there will always be books that don’t make it that far. Frankly, after finding this app, I care less about whether or not books make it to audio format at all. I’m able to convert all my Kindle books into the right format to upload to Voice Dream Reader and go! Needless to say, my library is huge and VDR handles it like a pro. I thought I might be bothered by the monotone computer voice, but I find that I completely tune it out and focus on the story at hand. Now, what would I improve? More voices to purchase! “James” is my go-to most of the time, but I would love a larger variety than what is available. Also, if I try to listen to my Reading List through my Apple Watch, I can’t use any of my purchased voices at all. I’m still giving this app five stars because I’ve yet to come across something better and it’s by far one of my best app purchases ever. Keep up the good work!

Valuable Time Saver
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!

Great App, Minor Bug
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! :)

GWickPress,
Really useful for my ADHD
This app has been life-changing! I have wanted to study mycology and botany, but my ability to read (which was pretty poor to start with) has severely declined due to lots of stressors, ADHD, and PTSD. I could manage a few paragraphs a day of my plant biochemistry book on my own, but finished a whole chapter the day I started using Dream Reader. I love that I can set it to play every file, so that I have a queue of thngs playing while I do other stuff. I am glad to finally have proof that I can understabd complex subject matter, as long as it’s presented in an accessible way.
I appreciate how fast I can set the speaking rate, and the customizeability of the scrolling text. I use the option of only showing the word that is currently being spoken, but plan to try the other options to hopefully improve my reading ability.
Prior to finding this app I tried Speechify and Natural Speech, but those both much more expensive, and the price is for an annual prescription. The only thing missing for me with Voice Dream is the ability to export the text as MP3 files, but for the price I am happy to go without that.

Great app; some irritation points
So I use voice dream reader nearly daily for reading associated with my PhD program, but there are at least two significant irritations. 1. The highlighting system is atrocious. Sometimes you have to attempt to highlight more than once because it will not select all the way to the end of a sentence. Surely it would not take much to add some intelligence to this so that it knows to look for periods and spaces when selecting as separators? Kindle and Logos do this so much better. 2. No automatic sync with Dropbox or Google drive. You can add files from these services, but they will not sync back unless you export them one by one back into the cloud with your highlights. These two items alone continually waste hours of my time given the volume of reading I do. If it were not offset by being able to read at 700wpm, I’d probably look elsewhere. Nevertheless, given how there is little else out there to solve this problem, I appreciate this app immensely. I’d just love to see a couple of the above improvements happen sooner than later.
Update: a third problem is becoming prominent where it will not always read a page from top to bottom, but skips all over a page wherever fonts change, or even to a later page. Upon testing and inspection, it is not merely an ocr issue as other readers do not have this issue. In such cases, this app is becoming increasingly unusable.

Academics, rejoice!
I work in research, and with many professors. I have to read A LOT of other people’s papers. Like many people I work with, I get “reading fatigue,” where I might go insane if I have to sit and try to slog through five more pages and try to also take notes and then also incorporate what I read into my own writing. Enter this app, which I first bought so I could have a book read to me as I fall asleep. While it works great for that initial purpose, given the built-in timer and adjustable voice speeds, I quickly found that this app also immediately boosts me past the point of “reading fatigue” while working. Adding auditory input helps me to maintain my focus, and makes note-taking more seamless since I don’t have to stop “reading” to jot a note down. The ability to add a bookmark with a single tap make it that much easier to return to papers and scan them for the relevant parts. I tried all the free text to speech apps, and the built-in text-to-speech capabilities and found them all severely lacking. Voice Dream Reader is head and shoulders above them. It does what it says it will, does it well, and is easy to use.
A.h.wright,
Excellent product for aspiring academic
I have always struggled keeping up with my reading in grad school. All of my time was devoted to just keeping up with assignments, not writing or exploring my own related interests. A prominent reason was getting bogged down in the details of texts. Listening through a first time has helped me focus on the big picture of arguments and identify arguments most important for my interests. Even though I have to go back to these sections in print, I still end up saving time and understanding materials better. Also, I appreciate the one time purchase model more than subscriptions (although I know this doesn’t support the ongoing development of the app. Why doesn’t the App Store support payed updates? I think it would be reasonable to pay a small fee for certain kinds updates and new features to give the developers an ongoing revenue stream). Any way, this app has enabled me to keep up.
One feature I would like is a desktop or web based version. I have found workarounds, but a dedicated app is desirable (perhaps an upgrade I would pay for wink wink?)

Josiah Glock,
I stepped back…
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!

Life changing app
As someone who has ADHD and struggles to read, I have always been able to listen and comprehend very well. I've always preferred audiobooks to reading books. Unfortunately, this has been a major challenge for me regarding case studies and other academic materials, and newspaper articles.
Voice Dream Reader has been completely life-changing. The app is beautiful and well-designed, and I love that I can play through my entire reading list anytime I have my headphones in or drive. The app is very well-polished, and it is straightforward to add content by sharing.
The Mac App is also incredible. Voice Dream Reader is one of the most excellent apps I've ever discovered, and it is worth every penny; even the Mac subscription is worth the monthly cost. I highly recommend this application to anyone that wants to listen to content. Also, the available voices on iOS are incredible. Just go through all of them until you find your favorite one. There is no need to buy any voices, in my opinion, since the iOS voices are superior.
