I downloaded this app and love it. Alba, a UK voice, is my favorite. I'm currently enrolled at a blindness training center in Alabama and used it to read something for one of my classes. It was so cool! My only complaint: sometimes I'll be reading something and it will switch abruptly to compact Daniel, which is the default UK voiceover voice. I don't know if it's the voice file itself or what the deal is with that, but I have other voices on my roter if I really want/need to read something in a good quolity voice. Hope to have a work around for this soon so that Alba can read more of my things! ☺️
Really cool, but

This app is really cool, but there are two problems. The first one is importing voices just fails and the voice does not show up in the installed. Voices list. The second thing which is actually a feature I would like added is to be able to train voices as many voices as you want including uploading your audio and adding text files.
Very good with small bugs.
The Art Of Unseen Brilliance
This is very good, the only things that are weird is that either I cannot import the voices right or it is a bug, and if I set the rate to 35% it goes to 65%, and when I set the rate to 65% it acts like 35%. Over all though this is a great app.
Great app!

This is the most satisfying app I’ve ever used. I love the UK voices, as I am English. These are the most human like voices which I can use on my iPhone, the voices sound like me and one of my peers.
- Added support for new languages.
- General bug fixes and performance improvements.
