Voice dream reader is supplied with Acapela Heather. You have the optionof using Neospeech or Ivona. Personally, I like Neospeech better than Acapela. I haven't tried Ivona as of yet.

First, I wanted to post as I've seen no activity from this list and
wanted to know if it was still active.  Beyond that, I wanted to let
everyone know that I recently became the owner of an iPhone 5C and have
downloaded the Kindle app.  As I find it more accessible than my Kindle
Keyboard, it is likely that my iPhone will become a full-time
replacement for the KK, although I'm still learning about the app and
most of my reading is with Voice Dream reader reading Bookshare
content.  I'm wondering what others think of the Kindle app and I'm also
wondering if anyone has purchased one of the newer Kindle Fires and how
accessibility is progressing on those devices.
