Turning Pages Using Bookshare in Voice Dream Reader

I have never before tried reading books with Voice Dream Reader until now. But, now, I am planning to do so in Braille for the Braille Readers Are Leaders challenge in the Adult Novice category.

So, I’m preparing by getting a look at the iOS app and I cannot even figure out how to turn from one page to another.

Can anyone help me with this and other beginner things I need to know about Voice Dream Reader and reading in Braille for the challenge? Is the Getting Started Guide available outside of Voice Dream Reader so I can, for example, read it on a website?

Use space with dots 1 3 5 and space with dots 2 4 to navigate through pages in Voice Dream. For Books, there is a controller to move between pages in the app itself.

Just to the right of the play button in Voice Dream Reader, there is something that says Navigation Unit, and then it says what it is set on. You just swipe up and down to fix it, or do whatever you have to on your Braille display. On my Focus, I have a set of buttons for that, but on the Brailliant, I have to use dot 3 or dot 6. I have found that not all books can go by pages, but bookshare books should be fine. I find reading Braille in Voice Dream Reader to be very easy.
