For the record, QRead also handles MOBI formatted eBooks.

I agree that QRead is a very useful program and I purchased it myself. However in terms of emulating Voicedream on a PC i would have thought something like balabolka would have been nearer the mark. Especially with its ability to create TTS mp3 versions in different voices of eBooks, including support not just for ePub but also Mobi books. I have not used it enough to comment on things like chapter navigation though I understand it supports Header navigation.. It is of course also free so is easy to try out and see if it suits the bill. David Griffith

Hi everyone,
I had an inquiry from someone who is familiar with Voice Dream Reader on iOS, and wondered whether there was a similar, accessible program on the PC? Particularly of interest are features like being able to open it and quickly pick up where a particular title was previously left.
Kind regards
Quentin.

Re: Blindspot may need to close because of Spotify's changing API.
Gerardo Corripio
Remember too that here in Mexico, and othe other less-developped
countries, an unlimited internet plan is very expensive! thus most
of us only have from 1GB monthkly, to about 6 or 8. For this reason,
being able to download music via Spotify, or others to have
available online, is important.

Since your posting wasn't a reply to an existing thread, I didn't realise it was in response to a question asked in that thread, so it looked to me like some person from Wells Fargo simply wanted to discuss things about NVDA with us. Thanks for the clarification. Antony.

I forgot to switch from reply to group to reply to sender before sending this one out. There was a complaint yesterday about being unable to click buttons using Chrome with the Wells Fargo web site.

Also I think i heard somewhere that Google Play music, has a Windows program that allows you to listen online, and/or download your music onto the computer, especially good for folks like my Dad because of generational things, he wants for music to be available on his mP3 Sansa player, USB and other media he can listen to wihtout depending of an app and a SmartPHone.

Re: Blindspot may need to close because of Spotify's changing API.
Hey guys! and gals. I will check out some suggestions in the thread, but I don't want to download music just so I can play it. I use the radio function on Spotify to write to artists similar to say, Owl City, for example. I guess I can just continue to use Hope. Accessible pandora application. I will see if Google Music has a radio like option and look at all of the other suggestions, but I am not interested in downloading music or storing it somewhere to be played. I guess it's a generational thing, I guess. I like the, pay once, get access to seemingly unlimited albums without downloading anything. Still, great suggestions! Eager to check them out! Yeah, I love blindspot too and use it daily. It's a shame. while the windows version is usable, it's half assed accessible. For instance, the options dialog does not read unless moving the review cursor around. It seems like they just want to appease us. Hey, I absolutely hated Flash to begin with, even when I could see. I always removed it straight away when I imaged a new laptop. Off to try the other services! Toodles!

Re: problem with a specific website and google chrome
Brian's Mail list account
Another thing I found of late that some add blockers stop pages buttons and links from either displaying correctly or working. I have to guess that somewhere the data on these sites is sent from another server to the recipient and a filter affects it, possibly stopping you from operating a control if it thinks its insecure.

Re: A weird problem with NVDA and Windows 10
Brian's Mail list account
Yes indeed, it allows windows to do a reasonable job of deleting temp files and other stuff that way. I used to leave my machine in hibernate, and at first this seemed to be good, but after a few days it was slowing down and a complete restart fixed it. Not the issue here but a lesson learned.

Using the liberty yellow cab website with NVDA
Tony James <megatronjames@...>
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has successfully been able to navigate this site with NVDA 18.1? Specifically, I would like to know if there’s a way to reload a liberty prepaid card. I was on the site last weekend with both Firefox and Internet Explorer and I found it to be almost unusable, but I’m wondering if maybe I’m missing a trick somewhere? Running win 7 64 bit. Thx

I'm a bookhoolic, and I've been using Qread since when it was first launched. I love it, and I don't think there are any other programmes that are so easy to use and effective, although I miss the possibility of maintaining links within ebooks. I wish Chris would wake up on some fine spring morning and decide he should continue devloping and improving this software. Let's start an email bombing to him!!!! (joking, but only in part...). Ciao, and welcome to the Qreaders club! Ollie

Thanks for the steps you have provided. As I am using a laptop and not a desktop computer, could you please give me the NVDA keystrokes for the laptop layout for changing the review mode to the object mode and also for routing the mouse to the item? I have tried the other two methods but did not find them working. Regards, Sultana
