I use this application daily. I will copy a chapter in a book, or an article i need to read. Paste it into the application, and begin to listen as I do dishes, or other chores. I have found some books, and places I am unable to copy, and paste, or upload information. I believe some books, and places have encripted their software to not allow anyone to copy, or upload.

This is the worst app that I have ever seen or purchased. It has no help section. No instructions anywhere. I was unable to load any text either through the “load text” button or the “open" button. In fact, I was not able to get it to speak anything because I could not find a way of getting any text into the app to read. This is basically seems to be a sham. It seems to use the apple text to speech reader evidently, but doesn’t seem to know how to do that. I tried to copy text and paste it into the app, but that didn’t work either. Don’t know how to make it work, and there are no instruction to do this that I am aware of anywhere.I thought taht since it was just 2.99, how much was at risk. If you want to waste your money on an app that has no value, please feel free to reward this sham artist for his sad product. I am sure that other reviewers must be lucky or they are bogus reviews. I wish that someone at Apple would run a simple test to see if an app worked at least in basic terms before they listed it in the app store.

I would give this app a reasonably good rating, but it keeps asking me to rate the app, and probably will keep asking me to rate the app even after I have done so. It’s an annoying feature of this application. I used to be able to export text as a sound file, but that doesn’t work anymore, and it crashes my entire system. Strangely, all the other apps similar to this do the same, crash while trying to export sound. I have a feeling this has more to do with Apple’s OS and the new way they handle audio. I’m on a iMac Pro, using macOS High Sierra. One thing I love about this application is the ability to pause the playback. I wish there was a feature for replaying the last 15 seconds.

This app is a very good text to speech app. The ability to control the tempo is a great option. The only reason I didn’t give this 5 stars is due to the fact that you can’t really pause the reading. It wil start over from the beginning if you stop it. Other than that, it works perfectly. Definitely worth the money.
