Optimum Reading App or Solution

I, for one, recommend Voice dream reader for reading your documents. You don't have to use voice over for the reading part, since the voicing for that is essentially self contained, although, you can look at parts of the text for editing and so forth with Voice over. It's great for text, pdf, and other document formats, as well as mp3s if you want to read audio mp3 books.

What you could also do is load the document in to the say command and it will voice it on yoru mac as aiff which you can then convert to mp3 using amadeus or what ever.

Take care.

its strange, I do not have the problem that your describing. I read very large files, including text books, in pages, text edit, and i text express all the time and voice over does not announce new line when i read with command a for read all. I know that what your describing happens because I have heard other people describe it. Sorry I'm not sure what option you should change but their must be one some where that will fix the problem. I love reading books in these text editors. Its super easy to copy things from them which is great for school. In fact my main way of reading text books is to buy them on amazon and convert the files, breaking the d r m. I can then read them in anything I want.

Hi

There is a cause and fix for the VoiceOver newline issue. This happens because the file is formatted with different newline characters, probably windows.
There's a handy little command line program which you can use to convert the text with proper newlines, and VoiceOver won't announce them in say-all mode in text edit afterwards.
It can be found here:

You want to download the universal binary. The option you want is the -u flag, since it converts the textfile to unix newline.
Hope this helps

Hi Tristan,

Oo, those are a nifty bunch of functions. They can also remove duplicate line feeds, which I find super useful when reading. Thanks!
