This app is really brilliant I was there diagnosed dyslexia when I went to college it happened on the after I went to the first college I had trouble so when I went to the second college they gave me a dyslexia test and it made me realise that all that time when I struggled at school as well as in college it was because of that reason I found out my weight strengths and weaknesses and I know now that this was because I wasn’t lazy or I wasn’t dumb it’s because I was different and I just needed that special help of course I still try to read even though it’s been difficult but lucky enough when phone started doing text reading out the words to you and then suddenly I found this app it has been a major help I’m now listening to more books than I have ever heard before and I find it much better for people like us who have problems of Reading to really make a difference therefore I would recommend completely to people who need help of reading this app use it it’s helped in such a long way ….. thank you to those who made this app 🙏✨😊
Wonderful idea but needs work
SharkSwimmer 80
Firstly I’d like to start off with the fact that this is that is a wonderful idea and has some brilliant potential. However there are a few issues that definitely need ironing out. I read a lot of procedures and policies for my work and some of these texts are divide into columns. However if these columns aren’t clearly divided with a solid line they are not always recognised and often the speech jumps across the columns making it a jumble of words. When scanning in the books you have to be careful that light isn’t reflecting off the paper or there are no shadows. If there are the text can be missed and the spoken word ends up being jumbled up. Bullet points can be confused and often pronounced as an ‘o’. The pronunciation of certain words like lead and lead are not defined and commas are read as full stops. This results in the animation of the sentences being off, such as making it sound like the sentence has finished when in actual fact there are three words left. This can convey a completely different meaning and making it confusing. Finally if I hadn’t have been following the text while listening I would have got completely confused when whole lines were missing. This app is a wonderful idea and I would definitely use it but would have to be following the text at the same time. Plus I think if you’re going to be charging what do you are, you need to definitely iron out those issues I will not be paying full price to use this app until this this is done.
By far the best text-to-speech app but premium only available in yearly subscription
30)5oR
I've tried a bunch of text-to-speech apps and the premium version of this one is definitely my favourite. It's premium voices are by far the closest representation of someone actually reading to you. The free version is okay, but the cadence of the voice gets very clunky and robotic. It regularly pauses in places that are confusing (I.e, in the middle of a sentence, which makes the sentence sound awkward and impacts what the sentence sounds like it means versus what it actually means). I would have no issue with the free voices being clunky, if the premium subscription was more affordable. There is, admittedly, a contingent in the free version to get x number of words spoken in a premium voice: the more you listen the more premium words you "earn". But of course this means that you have to suffer through the clunky, robotic voices, which ends up being more of an exercise in deciphering than listening. The free trial period for premium is very short (3 days) and after that you can only get a premium annual subscription, which isn't cheap. As a uni student I don't have £150-ish to spend on an app no matter how useful I think it would be. There is so much reading to do at uni, I would gladly take some of it in the form of audio if it were more affordable. I think the developers of this app are missing a trick by not having the option to pay monthly.
Limited access to HD voices on Premium
Soda11
What they do not tell you upfront when signing up to a £135 a year subscription (no other subscription options) is that there is a cap on the amount of reading hours per month on the HD voices. This of course is why you are paying a premium price - to access the the HD voices. When you reach the cap you go back to the free voices. I have many books I need to read every month for my course so I only get about half a month of access to HD voices before going back to the robotic, unnatural sounding free voices. They have also then gamified the app so you can ‘win’ more HD voice hours by reading more but you have to do it listening to the free voices. Plus you are needing to win something you have already paid to access. It’s totally bizarre. The amount of hours you ‘win’ or earn is also completely insignificant such as 1k HD words. That’s a couple of pages of a book - if that. But the biggest problem of all is that you have already paid £135 to access it. This is not a fitness app. I don’t need incentives to read more. I just want to read my book in the same voice quality throughout and that I paid for. The reason they give you (once you have subscribed) in the Q&A for capping the HD voices in the premium subscription is that HD voices are expensive for them to run so they can’t give it to you all of the time. What?! That’s why we paid you though! It makes no sense. There are other apps I have found on the market with the same HD voices offering unlimited access and much cheaper - about £80 per year. Apps like NaturalReader so I would rather choose one of them over Speechify.
