Why cross-device reading continuity is hard
Without a shared sync layer, progress and bookmarks stay trapped on one device. That breaks long-form listening when you move between phone, tablet, and other Android setups.

Cross-Device Sync
Want your reading position and bookmarks to follow you across devices?
Search users asking for sync do not just want cloud backup. They want to continue reading on another device without hunting for the right chapter, PDF page, or saved article.

How @Voice sync keeps your place and bookmarks aligned
@Voice can synchronize reading positions, bookmarks, lists, and certain custom reading data through Dropbox so multiple devices stay aligned.
What @Voice already supports: The current sync feature set covers reading positions, bookmarks, reading lists, speech replacements, desktop browser handoff, backup, and restore workflows.
Basic sync setup
- Enable sync in @Voice and connect the same Dropbox account on each device.
- Choose whether you want progress, bookmarks, and reading-list behavior synchronized.
- Resume the same content on another device without manually finding your place.
What sync is most useful for
Sync matters most when you do not always listen on the same device, or when you want bookmarks and reading state to survive device changes.
- Use it when you switch between a daily phone and a larger secondary tablet.
- It is also useful when reinstalling the app or moving to a new device and you want less manual recovery work.
- Combined with the desktop connector, sync helps turn discovery, saving, and resumed listening into one continuous workflow.
Why it helps on phones, tablets, and backup devices
- Good fit for users who switch between phone, tablet, and secondary devices.
- Useful for long PDFs, ebooks, and saved article collections.
- Supports listening continuity and content handoff from desktop browsers.
- Can also help with broader backup and restore scenarios.
