Peech - Text to Speech Reader 4+

Love the app, although I wish it could switch from feminine voice to male voice because right now it’s just not got any emotion or tone to it. other than that great!

Thank you for your reply. It's something we're working on.

When American’s vote for their president, the people’s votes are rolled up and an electoral college representative for their state has the actual vote. They can go with the people, or against them if they think the people made a mistake. This app also thinks it knows better than its users and will not allow users to choose a reading voice, but selects one for you based on what it thinks you should hear.
For a historical book about the 1960s Aden conflict, an authoritarian, male, English voice would have been most credible. The app chose an American, female voice. The user can’t change it.

The narration was also poor.:
Reference marks are read as if they are part of the main text. “This is the end of the sentence point one”.
10 December read as December 10. Way to alienate anybody outside the USA!
Then there were unforgivable pauses in the wrong places, take the phrase “black and white”, meaning clear, obvious. The AI read “this was black.
[significant pause]
…and white.”

I gave up half way through the acknowledgements section of the book. Didn’t even make it to the introduction. There’s no way I’d pay for £70 they were wanting for a year’s subscription. The quality just isn’t good enough.

Thanks for the great and valuable feedback! Please get in touch with us - feedback@getpeech.com and we will give you subscription for free :)

Having seen the advert – I had very high hopes for this and it’s potential usefulness to me as someone who needs to get through a lot of material that spends far too much time in the car

I gave the trial ago with a PDF academic style paper

Most people with a smart phone will know that they can just get their phone to read them the text on screen, and if you have ever used Siri to read a document to you, you know what this application sounds like

It does have more functionality, but I think people typically just want something red out when they haven’t got time to read it –

From what I can see the app read the documents accurately, but for the cost – the difference between this and just getting my phone to read me the content of a webpage is impossible to discern

I won’t be taking up the paid subscription, but I could see how some people might prefer the mixture of voices and be prepared to pay for it – particularly if they are claiming it on some kind of company expenses

Hello! Thanks for comprehensive feedback and have a nice day!
