This may be old news for some but I think the new Loader facility in
Voicedream is absolutely brilliant, or at least it is new to me.
To use this feature you either need to have iCloud for Windows installed
or a Mac with iCloud Drive setup. I assume you wil also need the latest
update to Voicedream Reader.
On a PC if you have not already got it installed you will need to
download iCloud Manager for Windows from Apple Downloads. Once you have
iCloud Drive setup on your machines, on the Mac just press command shift
Drive to show iCloud Drive and on Windows you will find iCloud Drive in
your normal user folder on your C Drive.
You need to make a one time change in Voicedream Reader settings on your
iOS device. Go into settings and check the box which says iCloud Sync.
Now if you want to add content ffrom either your PC or Mac into
Voicedream just go to your iCloud Drive, find the Reader folder, and
inside that you will find the Loader folder.
Into this just copy any audio books or ebooks that you want to load into
voicedream Reader.
You can put multiple files in there, I believe in theory upto the
capacity of your device.
Now open Voicedream Reader on your phone or iPad and after a short while
you will find the eBooks or Audio Books loaded there ready for reading.
You do not have to manually sync or restart Voicedream. I have just
copied an Audio book into the Loader Folder, went to my iPhone, where
voicedream was already running and after a minute Voicedream had
automatically downloaded and imported the file into my Book List.
This is how all Apple Programs should work and should sound the death
knell for iTunes type data transfer.
It is a bit like using the Automatically add to iTunes folder for your
music transfers to your phone or in my case iTunes Match.
The only note of caution is that like the automatically add to itunes
folder there is no copy of the files preserved after they have been
imported into your device.
This means if you want to preserve a copy of your material on your Mac
or PC you should copy and paste into the folder rather than cutting and
moving the material into your Loader Folder.
Personally I like this feature as you do not get a Loader folder
cluttered up with media files and you will be provided with a blank
folder. You will also know that if the folder is empty any material you
have copied there has been imported into your iOS device.
Anyway I thought I should give people a heads up for this new feature.
