Peech: Text to Speech Reader 4+

I’ve compared Peech to 5 of the other top text-to-voice apps. My primary use is listening to articles on news web sites (such as NYT, Washington Post, etc). As a whole, it works the best for me. First, while there is only one voice available, it is as good or better than all the other voices I’ve used in the other apps. It’s natural sounding and clear. More importantly, the speaker does not pause or stop in the middle of an article as it does in most all of the other apps. It also doesn’t drain your battery or make your phone hot as it does in other apps with longer articles. My biggest complaint is that it doesn’t work with the Washington Post, though converting the article to a PDF and loading the PDF does work. Finally, it would be nice if there was more control of the ordering of library items and if you could toggle on/off whether the app automatically reads the next article in the list. But overall, highly recommended.

Thanks for your feedback. We will pass your comments on to the developers.

The app suddenly changed voices in the middle of a document I was listening to. Now it seems to try to change voices depending on the gender of whoever is speaking? However, it gets it wrong a lot of the time and it’s distracting. I wish I knew this change was coming and had the option to switch back to the old voice, as this one doesn’t even work properly. There isn’t any way to report an issue in the app (at least I couldn’t find it) so don’t know what to do other than leave a review. Other than this new update, I do love the app… hopefully it’s resolved soon.

UPDATE: The app is now also playing music too?? Not at all what I would want hahaha. The changing voices is extremely distracting, even when they’re the “right” gender. Bummed I paid for this.

Hi there! The app is really nice, and I’m enjoying listening to my writing/fanfics with it. With that said, I have some suggestions!

- Pronunciation tab, or a way for it to take from the set pronunciations I have in my phone. Because it mispronounces a bunch of words/names, so if I could have an ability to set pronunciations for it to use, that would be helpful!
- Reading options/settings in general? Just saying cuz I don’t like how it’ll take a really slow pace on short sentences, but it goes at a nicer pace on longer ones, and I wanna change that, because it really bugs me.
- I’d like a way to make edits to the text after importing, because sometimes with line breaks for dialogue it’ll just delete the line break, and smash them into one paragraph, which kind of annoys me.
- Maybe add a highlight to show me what it’s reading? Just on the sentence. Would be helpful!

If you could do some of that, or at least consider it, I would really appreciate it! And otherwise from those glaring little flaws, it’s a really nice tts app, and I’m enjoying using it! ^^
