So I have never been a great reader. Even when I was little, I remember my grandmother and I sitting on the couch and reading aloud to each other. That has been the only real way information has been able to stick. As an adult, I find myself listening to a lot of podcast and even listening to a lot of Audiobooks, due to my lack of being able to sit down and read a physical book. I think it has more to do with the fact that I cannot sit still.Text to speech has really helped with this by allowing my educational text to be turned into someone reading it to me out loud. I am able to print out my document, download the PDF and upload it to the app, and one of their AI speakers reads it aloud to me while I read as well. This is helped with my concentration because I'm able to read something with my eyes, listen to someone reading it to me, and allows me to knit with my hands and gives my hand something to do (I am horrible about about just sitting there holding a book. I physically cannot do it). Although I know that this is a flaw within myself as my attention span should not be this poor at 28 years old, I am truly grateful that this app has helped me so much. I am able to obtain the material that I need while. Also learning it in a way that's best for me. I recommend this to anyone who has a similar struggle with their concentration.My one downside is that I have had to transfer a lot of my PDFs into a Google form first and made it a little bit easier for the program to read. A lot of of these college documents are not reader friendly and so I've had to get rid of a lot of citations prior to uploading it into the app. Depending on the document, that could take a little bit of time. Honestly, it has been worth it even with the additional 30 minutes of work prior to uploading it. I am still probably never going to go back to traditional reading and from here on out going to use this tool for a long text of information that I am needing to read. Thank you so much again for creating an app to really help people who struggle.
Great but pls make it not stop every 30 seconds! :)
AppleUpdatesCompatibilySucks
The app is great and i decided to support a smaller less known developer and get paid subscription - it is quite good overall. One exception - with latest couple of updates the app narration just keeps stopping every 30-45 seconds or so sometimes - which makes it unusable and annoying to listen to - PLEASE fix this bug. Fyi - on an older iphone but i dont think that should be an excuse - so i really hope you can fix it - otherwise will have to get smth else.. Also, airpods controls do not work on it at all - so if it stops you have to go to the phone, unlock it and try to make it play the note again (and in some cases, it just refuses to play the not all together while displaying the “playing” icon/button…)Also, pls make notes text editable after you make a note so you can delete smth or add more text later (just like the title can be edited, would he great to edit the note too instead of being stuck with it as it is..)
Social Change Now:A guide for Reflection and Connection
Thou shall not judge
Excellent for a guide for social change. While there is a place for introspection, it gives a guide how to put it in practice. If there was any one for social change, Jesus came to give us a change from legalistic society to give just two vows to see Jesus what we need the most.” Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind” Mathew 22:27And “Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself” Mathew 22:39. He was not a Christian by spoke of social change and a new way to live . If you know Jesus, then you know God. He was full filing God’s relationship with all people. This speaks to any faith and come together to perhaps continue His purpose bringing communities together and peace among all people. I believe this book can be a road map how to begin individuals and communities together.
Great App, Unfortunate read limit even when paid
Syurkus
After trying several other text to speech apps this app definitely delivered on reading quality. I can’t highlight this enough but this apps capabilities are pretty spot on and deliver.The problem is there is a reading limit per week apparently that they never disclosed that, nor have any sort of display on your limit or way to look up how close you are to it. I listen to self published works while I work during the day so after around 14-15 hours of listening in 2-3 days I hit this “weekly limit”, which is crazy since I’m paying for a weekly subscription.I wish they would have disclosed this limit before I purchased a subscription along with have a means to check how close you are to that limit.
Hi there!
In this update, we’ve fixed some bugs and improved the overall performance of the app.
We hope you enjoy using the Listen AI app!
