Question/bug with voice dream

iOS and iPadOS

Hello,
I'm having trouble with VoiceDream.
One of the libraries I use distributes daisy books that have both the text and audio of the book.
When I import the books into VoiceDream, I want to use the audio since it's human recorded. However, I find that it reads the text to me instead. Do you know how to fix that? Thank you.

More Info

Hi,

Can you tell us what library it is so we can best help you find a solution? Thanks

It is Celia library from Finland.
They call the books daisy trio books, which means they have daisy text and daisy audio synced up. You download them as .zip files.
When you download and import them, instead of audio playing, the synthesizer reads the text of the book which is obviously not desired.

Audio zip

Hi!
Simple import? for example, .mp3 in zip.
And listen to this book.
Cheers!

Not sure if this is possible

As the majority of daisy books here in the states are either text or audio, but not both, I suspect the developer has not thought of this. I would suggest contacting him and asking for this. I believe the daisy consortium has some books with both text and audio.

While other apps would allow playing of the audio, you would lose the ability to navigate elements such as headings and pages which the daisy format allows.
