Ratings and Reviews
Brilliant
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 🙏✨😊
By far the best text-to-speech app but premium only available in yearly subscription
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.
Great app but a few quirks to iron out
UPDATE: App no longer works after loading the latest update (Feb 2022). Very disappointed as loved this app but no support anywhere for free version.
This is a great little free app and I’ve really enjoyed using it to listen to chapters from my kindle books whilst doing other projects. It is easy to take snapshots of pages of text and upload them very quickly. There are a few quirks to iron out. It does not allow for headings, but continues reading straight on, running them into the following sentence without pausing. It also sometimes had problems with intonation, soaring straight through a full-stop with the emphasis being placed on a word in the middle of the following sentence as if it ended there. The app also seems to have trouble reading dates and numbers, although not consistently. For example, it read ‘1400’ as ‘one four hundred’ yet it read other numbers correctly. It read ‘the mid 1970s’ as ‘mid negative nineteen seventy s’. So it can be a bit confusing at times but it mostly works well. I’m sure developers will release updates to iron out these issues. As a migraine sufferer who often has to avoid reading I really appreciate the idea behind this app. Thank you
