PRODUCT FEATURES
• Text-to-Speech
- Type into ClaroSpeak and have the text read back to you. You can check text and proofread it quickly and easily.
- You can import documents into ClaroSpeak from apps such as Mail. ClaroSpeak can open a range of document formats including Word doc, PDF and epub.
- Text from any app can be copied and pasted into ClaroSpeak ready to be read back.
- Apple's speech recognition can be used to dictate text directly into ClaroSpeak, and can be listened back to ensure it is right.

• Text to Speech Voices
ClaroSpeak Free uses the iOS system voices. Buy extra high-quality Nuance Expressive and Acapela voices in-app.
• Word Prediction
Word prediction helps with writing more quickly and accurately. Train dictionaries from the current text so the best suggestions come up first.
• Visual Highlighting
Text is highlighted as the text is read back. Highlighting allows you to coordinate reading and listening. ClaroSpeak lets you pick the colour and style of highlighting required.
There are four highlighting modes to choose from: none, word by word, word trail, or sentence by sentence highlighting.
• Font & Layout
Change the font type, size or colour to suit your needs. Layout the text for easier reading by adjusting the character, line and paragraph spacing and adjusting the page margins. Text can be formatted bold, italic and underlined to emphasise.
• Sharing your text
Text created within ClaroSpeak can be emailed, messaged, printed, opened in another app, or copied and pasted into another app, like Safari. Sending the text to Facebook and Twitter lets you join in with social media.

Developer Response ,
Hello,
Thanks for writing this feedback for our ClaroSpeak app.
The login window is optional and can be dismissed by tapping Close. That said, we appreciate your comments and are considering changing this so that it only shows once; the very first time you lacuna the app.

App crashes & no response from developer
The app crashes when using cereproc Heather, and cereproc Jess is “no longer available” but yet, hasn’t been removed from the app. I might just demand my money back...
Developer Response ,
Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to write this review.
Were you able to contact our technical support team via support@clarosoftware.com? I don't believe our support team recall dealing with this such issue. Please get in touch and we'll be able to respond directly there.
We are currently having licensing issues with CereProc, which prevents the voices from working. Please accept our apologies for this. We're working to resolve this and in the meantime, will be removing all CereProc voices from our apps until this is resolved.
