This week we're hearing about the latest trial of NaviLens technology which is taking place on the Docklands Light Railway in London, Callum speaks to Winston Chen, the founder of Voice Dream and Hubert will be along with a demonstration of the iOS 17 Assistive Access feature. You can listen to the show live in the UK every Tuesday at 1pm on Freeview Channel 730, online at RNIB Connect Radio | RNIB , or on your smart speaker. You'll hear new episodes of the Tech Talk Podcast every Friday so make sure you're subscribed to never miss an episode. We'd love to hear your thoughts on accessible technology, drop us an email at techtalk@rnib.org.uk
Today on the show, Steven and Shaun read through more of your feedback and answer some of your tech queries. It is also fair to say that Steven (as usual) goes off-topic and rants about something else entirely; this time it's the cost of Canadian donuts that has caused him trauma and stress this week. But why? They do get to the tech eventually and a controversy in the blind community over an app that has chosen to move to a subscription model. What is the concern and why has the developer done this? Double Tap has the answers and speaks to Winston Chen, the developer of the Voice Dream suite of apps, to learn more about his reasons. As always, your feedback (and donuts) are welcome. Email us at feedback@doubletaponiar.com or call 1-877-803-4567 and leave us a voicemail. You can also find us across social media @DoubleTapOnAir.
Today, Steven and Shaun talk about a new campaign by RNIB about raising awareness. But does it hit the mark? Also, there's a lot of talk about serial killer documentaries and our seeming obsession with them. Plus, we get feedback from listener Callum, who was having trouble navigating his local bus station; did our audience attempts to help him actually work out? And are app subscriptions a good idea? We hear from developer Winston Chen, who talks about the reasons he decided to make his suite of Voice Dream apps subscription only. As always, we welcome your feedback. Email feedback@doubletaponair.com or call 1-877-803-4567 and leave us a voicemail. You can also find us across social media @DoubleTapOnAir.

Winston Chen, the Founder and iOS Developer for Voice Dream talks about their flagship app that provides a variety of ebook-reading features, including text-to-speech in a number of different voices and languages and more. In Part 1, Winston talks about the surprising beginnings of Voice Dream, why it almost didn’t make it to the App Store, and the letter he received that compelled him to develop the app further. The part that computer voices played in the development, how Voice Dream “jacks information directly into the brain” for some users, and why an ebook reader sometimes beats out an audiobook version are discussed.

Really excited to share out a new tool from developer Winston Chen creator of the Voice Dream Reader app. He has added a robust scanner to make paper accessible.
This is Dr. Erica Warren’s most recent video podcast, featuring dyslexia advocate and author, Winston Chen. https://youtu.be/uyPcMZyEZ1E Winston tells us all about the many benefits of his app Voice Dream Writer for individuals with dyslexia. This is the fifth of many free video podcasts for Go Dyslexia! What is Voice Dream Writer? Voice Dream Writer is an iOS app that can be used on an iPad or iPhone. It is a easy to use writing application that has a number of powerful features. Voice Dream Reader Offers a Number of Helpful Tools: Dictation or Voice to Text: Voice Dream Writer offers voice to text or dictation, so you can speak to your iPad and the words will appear. Proof Reading: Now you can edit your writing by listening to the text spoken aloud. Like a personal proofreader, Voice Dream Writer uses text-to-speech technology, so that awkward sentences, grammatical errors and typos can be easily found. It addition, Voice Dream Writer can read words and sentences as they’re typed or dictated so that errors can be corrected right away. Word Finding and Definitions: Voice Dream Writer helps individuals find the right words through phonetic search or meaning search. For example, search for “inuf,”, and you will find “enough”, or search for “large balloon” by meaning and you will find “zeppelin.” Word Finder also shows the dictionary definition of a word. Organizing Ideas: Writer automatically keeps a separate outline of headings, paragraphs and sentences. The Outline helps writers structure their writing and reorganizing paragraphs and sections is a simple drag and drop. In addition, it allows the author to go anywhere in a document without endless scrolling. Come watch my first video podcast with Winston Chen on his acclaimed app Voice Dream Reader.

The new technique combines audio, visual, and attention propulsion. The words disappear from the page a fraction of a second before they're spoken by text-to-speech. This forces the reader to visually scan ahead. With practice, the results can be amazing. Finger reading: Some readers struggle to follow even the slowest speed, which also becomes distorted. With finger reading, the reader drags a finger under the text to hear each word. Quickly browse the text: On an iPhone 6s or 6s plus, you can press firmly on the fast forward button while the app is reading -- Force Touch -- to double the reading speed. Release it slightly to return to normal speed. What’s New in 4.0.0 release of Voice Dream Reader? A beautiful new user interface Grid view and cover images in the library. Improved library organization: filters, flags, and sort order. Visual appearance of the entire app uses the current color theme. Experimental rich text and image support for all documents. Library Synchronization: Your entire library, including folders, reading locations, bookmarks and annotations are synchronized across all your devices using iCloud Drive. New Reading Modes: Finger reading allows beginning reads to control the speed by running a finger under each word. Pac-Man mode. Harvard and MIT developed speed-reading method for everyone to read at 2x speed with no loss of comprehension. Sentence mode. Speech pauses at every sentence. Useful for beginning readers. Repeat mode. Option to rewind to beginning of the last sentence when you pause. New Voices: Alex, free, high-quality voice in iOS 9. New premium child voices from Acapela in US, UK, Australian English, US Spanish, and German. Acapela's new flagship German voice: Claudia. Emotive variations of Jeroen, Antoine, Margaux, Dimitris and Will. Other New Features: Set PDF margins to exclude text in header and footer. Up to 4X speed for recorded audio. Support for 3D Touch, split-screen multitasking, and Spotlight search. Safari extension to save Web pages and Web addresses. Evernote file attachments. Background download for files and voices. More accurate language detection. Option to hide header and footer in full-screen mode.
At the very tail end of August, Voice Dream Reader, the wildly popular book reading app, launched on Android. This opens up a huge potential market, ranging from students who want to read college coursework on-the-go, to professionals who drive a lot and need an easy way of reading materials with high-quality voices. Because of the excellent price range of Android devices, you can now own a book reader for under $100. We've interview Winston Chen who developed the iOS application, which has now grown into a comprehensive app. Getting this to work on Android from scratch was a unique challenge, as it requires a great effort and collaboration between features and platforms. Michael Scott developed the Android version of Voice Dream Reader, and it has many of the same functionality as found on iOS: Bookmarks, various high quality voices from Acapela (at the moment, Ivona is expected in a future update), along with bookmarking support, DRM-free Epubs, bookshelf views, Bookshare, Dropbox,One drive integration, visual adjustment of the document's contents, highlighting, built-in web browser... Just what does it take to develop an Android app anyway? How difficult was it to have all of these features migrate over from the iOS world? What are some future plans for the app? Ultimately, what goals might the team have in mind for its purpose? We sit down with both Michael and Winston to talk about the development and story of Voice Dream reader.

Winston Chen, the developer of the iOS app, Voice Dream Reader, sits down with the team at Cool Blind Tech to tell the story of how having been inspired by a Ted Talk podcast, his departure from mainstream tech, life on an Artic island north of Norway, and how that led to the development of Voice Dream Reader. Mr. Chen describes the original intent for Voice Dream Reader, and how that later manifested into an app for educators, the blind, and dyslexic. Mr. Chen proceeds to announce the release of a new iOS word processing application which is designed specifically with blind people in mind. The new app is called, Voice Dream Writer, and is available shortly in the App Store for $9.99. Here's the iTunes description. Voice Dream Writer helps everyone write better: Text-to-speech proofreading reduces mistakes, phonetic and meaning search help you find the right words, and an active outline improves the structure of your writing. Text-To-Speech Proofreading. Professional proofreaders recommend reading out loud as the best way to catch mistakes. Like a personal proofreader, Voice Dream Writer reads your writing using text-to-speech, so you can easily spot awkward sentences, grammatical errors and typos. Also, it can read words and sentences as you type or voice dictate. This way, you can type faster because you no longer have to look up to check the text you just wrote. Word Finder. Voice Dream Writer helps you find the right words using phonetic search and meaning search. For example, search for "inuf" phonetically, and you will find "enough", and search for "Fast Africa Cat" by meaning and you will find "Cheetah." Word Finder also shows you the dictionary definition of a word as you type without you having to select anything or open another program. Outline. As you write, Voice Dream Writer automatically creates an outline of headings, paragraphs and sentences. The Outline helps you structure your document better by giving you an always-on overview. You can also quickly navigate to a section in a long document without endless scrolling. Finally, you can drag and drop elements in the Outline to organize your writing. No more selecting, cutting and pasting large blocks of text. Besides these unique features, Voice Dream Writer also comes with everything you would expect from any great writing tool:
