Voice Dream Reader and filling PDF docs

Hello all. I have a question about Voice Dream's recent feature addition of being able to fill in PDF files. I think it's a welcome addition, but, I do have some questions... which may be dumb questions. So, excuse me for that. One question I have, is how will we know if/when there's an empty space in a file? Also, say you're filling out a PDF form. Can you load that PDF form into Voice Dream Reader, fill it out, and then email it through there as well? I'd also like to know if it can be helpful in a situation that I've run into. I've been attending workshops/webinar series. These series sometimes have worksheets to fill out, in PDF form. But, these worksheets have text boxes in them. And, I don't llieve these were screenreader friendly text boxes and form fields. So, my question is: will I be able to use this feature in this situation, or not? I seen this in the AppleVis Unlimited Newsletter, and, I had some questions about it. Especially with the spicific use case. Thank you in a dvance, and, I appologize for asking the dumb questions.

I couldn’t run it on VoiceOver and I also shared the same doubt that this can be made accessible, at least not without many months of development.

According to this: https://groups.google.com/g/viphone/c/8ZBENYdP_hM this feature is disabled by developer for VoiceOver users as he couldn’t find the way to make the feature accessible. I assume that this was written by the user who got the answer from the support.

So your questions were certainly not dumb.
