Trove: File & Audio Manager

Links now work in books and PDFs. In an EPUB, tap a footnote number and the note opens right there, with a button to go to its place in the book if you want it. Tap a cross reference and the book turns to it. In a PDF, a link takes you to its page. If the document was being read aloud, the reading carries on from the new place. A Back arrow next to Done takes you back to where you were. Links to the web open in Trove's own browser. Highlights and notes in books. Select some words in an EPUB, a text file, or a saved web page and choose Highlight, or Add Note to write something about them. Tap a highlight to read the note, change the color, or remove it. They're all listed under Highlights & Notes in the Bookmark menu, and they go into your backups. The reading controls fold down. A chevron beside the slider shrinks the player to a slim bar so the page gets the room. Next to it, a hand button switches Tap to Read on and off, for when you'd rather touch the page without the voice starting. And for a meeting, there's a speaker button that turns Read Aloud off altogether: the bar keeps nothing but the way to turn it back on, so nothing you touch can start the voice. If you'd rather have the whole screen for the page, the voice menu can hide that bar too. Leave Unspoken, in the voice menu, has a new choice: pictures, maps, charts, and tables. Turn it on and their captions and the words inside them are passed over when you read along in a book or a saved page. Two things for the natural voices, which can only speak while the screen is on. Trove now keeps the screen on while one is reading, so the phone doesn't lock itself mid-chapter (there's a switch in the voice menu if you'd rather it didn't). And for a walk, there's On the Go under the play controls: Trove turns the rest of the chapter into an audiobook, plays it with the screen off, and when you open the book again it picks up where the audio stopped. The natural voices also say the short Old Testament book names in full now, so Ezek. 3 is "Ezekiel 3", and cf. is read as "cross reference". Another 1,400 or so Bible names were checked against a self-pronouncing Bible. Dark Mode. Trove now goes dark with your iPhone, books and text documents included. Or keep it light or dark whatever the phone does: tap the ••• menu, then Appearance. As always, your files stay on your phone, and nothing about you is collected.
