Doesn’t read pdfs well

More often than not the pdfs that I have uploaded are read very incorrectly. It’ll weird mistakes too. Like it just skipped on line of text or even just a few words!! I makes things actually triply confusing! It also sometimes joins all the words in a sentence into one and then I feel like my head is going to explode. Save your money, I’m sure the tech will get better in the next few years but right now do not buy

A work in progress

Overall, it’s a useful app in that skipping the citations makes for a great listening experience. The voice is very easy to listen to. Things that need work include differentiating in-text citations from other text in parentheses, clumping words together making the pronunciation quite awful and unnatural at times, identifying and categorizing sections and subsections of the article, and reading subtitles as part of a sentence which creates confusion for the listener. I would say significant beta testing is needed.
