Split text in page is mixing

In academic papers left and right text on one page is mixed by read

Not perfect but the best

I don’t know why it is still so difficult to find good TTS app despite excellent voices being readily available (I recommend “Amy (neural)” from Amazon Polly for reading academic texts. I’ve been using it for a year now and got more “reading” done than ever before.

This app is still not perfect but its ability to substitute or remove text bits (e.g. Author year references) based on regex makes the app very customizable. The cropping feature allows you to remove page headers and page numbers. Unfortunately there is still only one frame per page but the developer is responsive, fixes bugs and occasionally adds new features.

Absolutely overpriced - I do hope WhisperAI etc will kill this business model

In 2023, I don't see any reason why you have to pay these prices for TTS. Currently, Apple seems to protect this Business niche, while Microsoft is bringing thes features for free. Do not pay that money. Wait a little.

When I’m able to bring more affordable tts to customers I’ll be the first one to do it. The three major tts providers all charge the same which is what we base our prices off of. If whisper offers a cheaper API with similar features to what Amazon Polly offers today we’ll be happy to implement it. Take your one star review to the mega corps and leave independent developers out of it.
