Best human voice / need a page range selection feature for longer documents
Feb 12
lee389
This app is in my experience the best TTS app. If I had one suggestion it would be that users should be able to select a page range from a longer document, so that the app doesn’t need to convert 200 pages to an audio file, but just a small range, a chapter say. This would be very practical and is already a feature of apps like Neural Reader. It would also be great, though perhaps more ambitious, if the app could read landscape-oriented PDF pages that have two columns of text. But when you try to feed it this kind of document it says it can’t. Apart from these things I love this app!

I am someone who benefits from reading while also hearing the text read aloud, it helps me to better engage with the article or book. I am a teacher of students with a variety of barriers to learning and I have found that this type of app is helpful for students to access the same content as their peers, I wonder if it would be possible to make a kid-friendly version…

I’m enjoying the app so far. It does a really good job of being clear and easy to understand. My only issue is that it keeps saying that it cannot complete the conversion and that it will be completed in the background. However, it never seems to complete this, making it not really work at all. Will update review once this is fixed!

Less expensive than Natural Reader for similar features

Voice pacing and cadence aren’t quite as good as Natural Reader but still quite usable. Developer should make it clearer how many free uses you get - the pop up to pay is a bit jarring. Overall impressive app
